Senior Instrumentation Engineer

Role objective

Engineering deliverables and design

• Develop and review instrumentation and control deliverables for offshore facilities, including jackets, topsides, decks, modules, and support systems.
• Prepare and review instrument indexes, I/O lists, data sheets, specifications, installation details, hook-up drawings, and material requisitions.
• Develop and review control architecture, instrument location plans, cable schedules, termination and loop diagrams, and cause-and-effect charts.
• Support specification and selection of field instruments, control valves, shutdown valves, analyzers, fire and gas devices, and associated systems.

Coordination and project execution

• Coordinate with process, piping, mechanical, electrical, structural, telecom, and safety disciplines for integrated, clash-free designs.
• Review vendor documentation, technical bids, instrument data, and supplier drawings against project requirements.
• Participate in HAZOP, SIL, LOPA, design reviews, 3D model reviews, and stakeholder and client workshops.
• Resolve technical queries, site clarifications, design changes, and construction issues; support procurement, fabrication, installation, commissioning, and start-up.
• Review junior staff deliverables, mentor engineers and designers, manage interfaces, and deliver work to project schedules.

Qualifications and experience

• Bachelor’s degree in Instrumentation, Control, Electrical Engineering, or a related discipline.
• At least 15 years of instrumentation and control engineering experience in the oil and gas industry.
• Extensive detailed-design experience on offshore facilities, including topsides, jackets, modules, platforms, and brownfield modifications.
• Strong knowledge of instrumentation, control, safety instrumented, fire and gas systems, and industrial communication networks.
• Proficiency with tools such as SPI, AVEVA Instrumentation, AutoCAD, MicroStation, Navisworks, and related design systems.
• Understanding of ISA, IEC, API, NFPA, and relevant ADNOC engineering standards; experience with instrument sizing, shutdown systems, hazardous areas, and installation practices.
• Familiarity with SIL assessment, functional safety, HAZOP, LOPA, and cause-and-effect development.
• Strong multidisciplinary coordination, communication, technical reporting, and problem-solving skills; ability to work in EPC, EPCM, or PMC environments.
• ADNOC or similar Middle East offshore project experience is highly preferred; central engineering or shared services experience is advantageous.

Project context

• The engineering work supports ADNOC offshore projects and offshore execution requirements.

Benefits and development

• The posting describes medical, life and personal accident insurance, end-of-service gratuity, an employee share plan, and a long-service award.
• Wood offers professional development plans and access to an Energy Transition Academy and global industry experts.
