Process Control Engineer
About the role
You would lead full project life cycles, DCS-led, on Honeywell Experion and ABB 800xA (DeltaV and other DCS experience is very welcome too). That means taking a process from P&ID and control narrative through design, configuration, commissioning and site acceptance. Alongside the engineering you would develop Scope of Work packages, proposals and cost estimates, and act as the primary technical liaison between the company and the customer.
Responsibilities
- Taking a process from P&ID and control narrative through design, configuration, commissioning and site acceptance
- Developing Scope of Work packages, proposals and cost estimates
- Acting as the primary technical liaison between the company and the customer
- Intermittent travel to sites, weekly in pattern, out during the week and home by Friday
Requirements
- Real process controls depth and genuine project ownership from design through commissioning, not configuration or maintenance alone
- DCS experience is the differentiator, ideally Honeywell Experion or ABB 800xA, though strong DeltaV or other DCS backgrounds transfer well
- Comfortable reading P&IDs, schematics and control panel drawings
- Confident enough to scope work and stand in front of a client
- Absolutely minimum of 7 or more years of hands-on experience
- A degree in Electrical or Control Systems Engineering is a plus
- Pulp and paper or specialty chemical experience is a real bonus
