- Lead and mentor a team of ICA engineers and ensuring the quality in design work.
- Oversee the development of control logic, CMS programming, HMI interfaces, and Sub-Control systems, ensuring seamless communication and synchronisation of control components.
- Oversee the selection of instrumentation, sensors, and transmitters for accurate data acquisition, measurement, and feedback control.
- Oversee the configuration and deployment of the Control Monitoring System for seamless process control and integration of subsystems.
- Ensure ICA designs adhere to relevant safety standards (such as SIL, IEC 61511) and cybersecurity protocols to mitigate operational risks.
- Collaborate with process team to optimise the processes through intelligent control strategies, adaptive algorithms, and data-driven insights.
- Coordinate validation activities, including factory acceptance testing (FAT) and site acceptance testing (SAT), to ensure systems meet performance criteria.
- Develop RFQ and collaborate with suppliers and vendors to source components, equipment, and systems required for ICA and ensuring they meet quality and performance standards.
- Oversee testing and commissioning of the CMS, coordinating with process team to ensure system operate as intended.
- Ensure clear and consistent communication with project client and consultant throughout the project, providing updates, addressing concerns and managing expectations.
- Manage ICA design budgets, including cost estimation, resource allocation, and cost control.
