- Assist with instrumentation and controls design and production of deliverables for energy services projects.
- Prepare instrumentation and controls design documents, including instrument index, datasheets, loop diagrams, P&ID markups, wiring details, panel layouts, I/O lists, and cable schedules.
- Support instrument sizing and selection calculations for senior review.
- Learn and apply control system architecture and communication requirements, gathering information for protocol selection and network layouts.
- Draft control narratives, functional descriptions, technical reports, specifications, cost estimate backup, equipment selections, and construction documents for senior engineer review.
- Perform self-checks on assigned work and assist with quality control reviews.
- Help resolve routine design and construction-phase issues, draft responses to RFIs, and review vendor submittals.
- Support factory acceptance testing, loop checks, commissioning, and startup under supervision.
- Communicate with internal project teams, vendors, and contractors on assigned tasks.
- Participate in client, operations, and vendor meetings alongside a senior engineer.
- Build technical knowledge through mentorship, training, self-learning, and hands-on work.
- Support business development and proposal efforts by compiling background information.
- Contribute ideas for continuous improvement of design standards, workflows, tools, templates, and checklists.
