• Ensure design outputs meet technical, financial, and scheduling objectives.
• Monitor and track instrumentation design progress to maintain alignment with project timelines.
• Coordinate instrumentation design with other engineering disciplines (electrical, mechanical, civil, process) to ensure seamless integration.
• Manage interfaces between instrumentation engineering and procurement, construction, and commissioning teams to avoid delays.
• Lead and mentor instrumentation design teams, including internal staff and external consultants/contractors.
• Provide technical direction, performance guidance, and support professional development of team members.
• Proactively identify and mitigate instrumentation design risks that could impact cost, schedule, or quality.
• Ensure designs comply with international standards, industry codes, and client specifications.
• Implement design reviews, safety checks, and quality assurance processes to ensure design integrity.
• Act as the focal point for all instrumentation design-related discussions with clients and project stakeholders.
• Provide updates and progress reports on design status, milestones, and challenges to senior management.
• Evaluate and manage scope changes, ensuring impacts are documented and communicated.
• Identify opportunities to optimize instrumentation designs for cost efficiency without compromising functionality or safety.
• Prepare technical specifications and assist procurement with vendor evaluation and selection.
• Collaborate with vendors to ensure instrumentation equipment and systems meet specifications and project schedules.
• Support construction teams by resolving design-related issues during project execution.
• Participate in pre-commissioning and commissioning activities, ensuring all instrumentation systems are tested, calibrated, and validated before client handover.
