Senior Instrumentation Engineer

We are looking for a Senior Instrumentation Engineer!

Our client is an innovative, flexible and independent Consultancy & Engineering firm for the industry for over 60 years. They work for many different clients within various markets on both single and multidisciplinary projects. They like to be challenged to come up with the best solutions. They always do this in cooperation and consultation with the client. They primarily focus on the following markets: Energy, Heavy Industry, Tank Terminals, Food & Pharma, Chemicals, Buildings and Refineries.

As a Senior Instrumentation Engineer, you work on designing, modifying, and optimizing measurement and control systems within industrial brownfield environments.

You work on modifications, expansions, and replacements of existing installations. In doing so, you translate process information and existing field situations into reliable instrumentation solutions that are safe, practically feasible, and integrate well into the existing plant. The projects are primarily located in heavy industry, water treatment, tank terminals, and refineries, where installations operate continuously and modifications must be carefully integrated.

Within projects, you work under the direction of a senior engineer, discipline lead, or project manager, but you are responsible for your own instrumentation scope. You coordinate with process engineers, electrical engineers, automation engineers, and suppliers to arrive at an integrated design. The work consists primarily of engineering at the office, with opportunity for working from home (approximately 80/20), supplemented by site surveys, field checks, and project meetings on location.

• Integrate new instrumentation into existing installations, including interfaces with DCS and PLC systems.
• Conduct site surveys, field inspections, and assessments of existing installations.
• Prepare, review, and manage revisions and as-built documentation.
• Identify field risks, deviations, and practical feasibility considerations within brownfield installations.

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Instrumentation Engineering, Industrial Automation, or a related technical discipline.
• Proven experience as an instrumentation engineer within an EPC-environment
• Affinity with sustainability, energy transition, and innovation within industrial environments.
• Experience collaborating with clients, suppliers, contractors, and multidisciplinary engineering teams is an advantage.
• Familiarity with industrial standards, engineering documentation, and brownfield environments is a plus.
