  • Monitor vendor progress and conduct technical follow-ups to ensure timely and quality deliverables
  • Support FEED and Detail Design activities through system evaluation and interface management
  • Participate in FAT and SAT reviews, including offshore-specific requirements and constraints
  • Identify design gaps, risks, and inconsistencies, and recommend corrective actions
  • Ensure integration between DCS, SIS, F&G (Fire & Gas), and third-party systems
  • Address offshore challenges such as redundancy, system availability, and harsh environmental conditions
  • Participate in technical meetings, design reviews, and HAZOP/HAZID workshops
  • Ensure adherence to project schedules, quality standards, and safety requirements

Key Qualifications:

  • Bachelor's degree in Instrumentation, Electrical, Electronics, or related engineering discipline
  • 10–15 years of experience in industrial automation within oil & gas projects, with offshore platform experience
