Instrumentation Engineer

Start in instrumentation with responsibility for selecting and specifying instrumentation for complex installations, and grow into controls engineering.

The role bridges process, instrumentation and automation, with a focus on system understanding and control philosophy rather than PLC programming.

Work takes place within multidisciplinary engineering projects in the power and renewable energy sectors.

• BSc or MSc in Chemical, Mechanical, Process engineering or a similar discipline.
• 2–5 years' experience in process, instrumentation or controls.
• Strong process understanding; emphasis on system and process knowledge rather than programming.
• Experience in multidisciplinary engineering projects.
• Knowledge of measurement and control principles.
• Basic DCS knowledge; PCS7 or T3000 is a plus.
• Good understanding of fluid flow and heat transfer.
• Strong communication and coordination skills.
• Fluent in English.

• Select and specify instrumentation for complex installations.
• Prepare and maintain instrument lists, technical datasheets and equipment specifications.
• Specify temperature element assemblies, flow measurement devices, local instruments and instrument hook-ups.
• Work on instrumentation for package units (for example burners and SCR systems).
• Ensure correct technical interfaces between disciplines and coordinate closely with process, mechanical, electrical and supply teams.
• Define how the installation should operate safely and efficiently by translating process design into control philosophy.
• Create system descriptions (control narratives) and functional control diagrams.
• Define start-up, shutdown and operational sequences.
• Contribute to HAZOP and SIL studies.
• Work on control scope for systems such as building management systems (BMS).
• Support factory acceptance tests (FATs) and site-related control activities.
• Translate functional requirements into clear input for external PLC/DCS parties and act as the link between process, instrumentation and automation.

• Opportunity to work on challenging projects within the power and renewable energy sectors.
• Possibility to work with large clients while maintaining control over your career path.
• Excellent terms of employment, personal guidance and opportunities for further development.
• Ability to combine the position with courses and ongoing specialist training via internal training programmes.
• Training programmes ensure qualifications stay aligned with professional ambitions.
• No sponsorship for highly skilled migrants available.

The organisation supports continuous specialist development through internal training programmes, enabling employees to work, learn and be part of challenging projects simultaneously.

Its approach combines project placement with personal guidance and development opportunities, positioning the organisation as a partner in professional growth rather than solely a secondment provider.
