Overview

We are seeking a highly skilled Instrument Engineer to join our client's team in Sugar Land, TX, with critical support responsibilities for major oil & gas refinery and midstream projects in Lake Charles, LA. This is a hands-on engineering role focused on specifying and selecting field instrumentation for complex process facilities.

  • Ensure accuracy and compliance with industry standards and project requirements.
  • Collaborate closely with project engineering teams to support critical project deliverables.
  • Provide hands-on technical expertise during design, specification, and selection phases.
Qualifications
  • Bachelor's Degree in Engineering (Instrumentation, Electrical, Chemical, or related discipline).
  • 7+ years of experience in instrumentation engineering for oil & gas refinery or midstream process facilities.
  • Strong knowledge of ISA standards and specifications.
  • Proven ability to interpret process data and translate it into detailed device specifications.
  • Extensive experience with Rosemount instrumentation preferred.
  • Background with large EPC firms or major process industry projects strongly preferred.
  • Hands-on, detail-oriented approach with excellent technical problem-solving skills.
  • Must be based in, or willing to relocate to, Sugar Land, TX, with occasional travel to Lake Charles, LA.
Why Join?
  • Critical role in high-visibility refinery/midstream projects.
  • Competitive compensation package ($170K-$180K).
  • Opportunity to work extensively with Rosemount devices on specialized and technically challenging projects.
  • Stable, long-term project pipeline with strong client backing.
Benefits
  • Competitive salary + discretionary bonus for hours worked beyond 80 biweekly.
  • Flexible Benefit Time Off (BTO) - for vacation, sick time, holidays, or cash payout.
  • Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP).
  • 401(k) with employer matching.
  • Company-paid health insurance.
  • Sponsored health club membership.
