Senior Instrumentation & Control Engineer

Role Purpose

Lead and manage all Instrumentation & Control (I&C) engineering activities for the IA/PA Upgrade Project.
Ensure full compliance with ADNOC Offshore standards seamless integration of new compressor-package control systems with existing DCS/ESD/F&G/PMS/ECMS and coordination across Process Electrical and Mechanical disciplines through the Engineering Subcontractor and OEMs

Key Responsibilities (Project Specific)

Instrumentation & Control Design

• Review FEED and EPC deliverables (P&IDs C&E matrices instrument index loop diagrams hook-ups).
• Finalize instrument sizing specifications and installation details as per ADNOC standards.
• Develop and validate control narratives and logic for IA/PA compressor operation and inter-platform coordination.
• Review layout drawings for instrument location and accessibility on existing decks.

Control System Integration (IA/PA Network)

• Integrate compressor UCP panels (e.g. Atlas Copco) with existing ADNOC systems:
  • ABB DCS (800xA)
  • Rockwell ESD
  • GE Fanuc / Emerson F&G
  • PMS / ECMS
• Define signal mapping and communication protocols (Modbus RTU/TCP Ethernet).
• Validate duty/standby logic and automatic start/stop sequences across platforms.
• Ensure reliable operation without disturbance to other platform control networks.

Coordination with Engineering Subcontractor

• Lead discipline reviews and approve I&C deliverables.
• Provide technical guidance on ADNOC standards and SOW requirements.
• Ensure timely submission of deliverables.
• Monitor and close TQs/RFIs and action items from design reviews.

Vendor / OEM Interface (High Priority)

• Liaise with OEMs and vendors for compressor dryer and control systems.
• Review vendor datasheets I/O lists control logic and alarm philosophy.
• Participate in FAT/IFAT/SAT and verify signal testing and interlocks.
• Coordinate integration between vendor UCPs and ADNOC Offshore automation systems.

Process Safety & Functional Integrity

• Participate in HAZOP HAZID SIL and PHSER workshops.
• Implement process safety instrumented functions (SIF) and verify SIL levels.
• Confirm alarm priorities trip settings and shutdown logic align with Operations.

Brownfield / Construction Support

• Review instrument installation details for tie-ins to live systems.
• Prepare and review method statements for instrument replacement and cabling works.
• Support loop checking function tests and C&E testing during commissioning.
• Ensure compliance with ADNOC PTW and SIMOPS procedures.

Interface & Documentation Management

• Maintain instrument interface registers and system interconnection diagrams.
• Coordinate with Process Electrical and Mechanical disciplines for consistent signal and tie-in data.
• Ensure smooth handover of as-built I&C documents and asset register updates.

Key Deliverables

• Updated instrument index and datasheets
• Control logic diagrams and C&E matrices
• Vendor package integration reports
• FAT/SAT and loop-check records
• As-built instrumentation drawings and signal lists
• Interface and tie-in registers
