Automation and Controls Engineer

Industry:

Co2 Biomanufacturing & Renewables

The Client:

Location:

The Role:

We are seeking an experienced Automation & Controls Engineer to spearhead the implementation of our technology at our first-of-a-kind (FOAK) commercial plant. In this role, you will be responsible for developing and integrating a Distributed Control System (DCS) or PLC. Your expertise will be essential to ensure the efficient operation and scalable deployment of our CO2 conversion technology.

Job Description:

  • Develop and implement DCS architecture and control specifications, ensuring process security, data management, and system robustness.
  • Collaborate with process engineering and operations teams to capture operational philosophy and develop control specifications, including cause and effect matrices (CEMs).
  • During Procurement, engage with vendors to ensure equipment compatibility with the overall control philosophy, managing control system integration across all units.
  • Act as the primary internal resource for controls and automation, overseeing factory acceptance tests (FATs), site acceptance tests (SATs), commissioning, and startup activities (including alarm setting and management).
  • Assist with procedure development, especially for (but not limited to) potential safety instrumented systems (SIS).
  • Help lead IT architecture development for the industrial site, ensuring data security and facilitating remote monitoring.
  • Hands-on experience with infrastructure, control systems, and process automation development. Specifically on one or more of the major DCS platforms.
  • Strong technical skills in automation and ability to develop tools and processes for automation engineering.
  • Expertise in industrial control systems, risk management, process improvement, and project management.
  • Ability to take immediate ownership of ongoing control system development, with strong vendor management and oversight skills.
  • You are an unconventional and out-of-the-box thinker (which is essential, as we are doing things that haven’t been done before)
