  • Start-up / shutdown and emergency sequences
• Ensure reliable operation under transient and variable offshore process conditions
• Coordinate with factory and control system vendor on all control related topics, tie-ins and
  documentation

Ownership of Key Engineering Deliverables (Module Integration Focus)

Accountable for development and review of:

• Control Philosophy aligned with offshore operability and safety
• Cause & Effect diagrams (ESD / F&G / PSD integration)
• Control Narratives for compressor and package systems
• ICSS / DCS system architecture for modular plants
• Interface definitions between modules, skids, and vendor systems
• Alarm philosophy for remote / offshore operations
  FAT/SAT of control system, field instrumentation and offshore commissioning documentation
   

Vendor & Package Integration (Multi-Skid / Offshore / FPSO Environment)

• Lead interface with compressor OEMs, control system supplier and packaged equipment
  suppliers
• Manage integration of multiple control systems across:
  • Compressor & Gas Turbine skids
  • Utility and process modules comprising of air coolers, nitrogen package, gas treatment package
  • Electrical and safety systems
• Ensure alignment with ICSS integration strategy and offshore communication architecture
   

Field Instrumentation & Instrumentation Engineering

• Lead development and review of key instrumentation deliverables including instrument index, I/O list,
  datasheets, specifications, hook-ups, installation details, cable/JB schedules, layouts, wiring/interconnection diagrams, loop diagrams, cause & effect diagrams, philosophies, narratives and design basis till as-built updates.
• Ensure proper selection, specification and requisition of field instruments such as pressure,
  temperature, flow and level instruments, control/on-off/actuated valves, analyzers, metering skids and package instrumentation.
• Verify instrument suitability for hazardous area classification, environmental/process conditions,
  operability and maintainability.

Technical Safety, Workshops, Site & Offshore Project Support

• Ensure compliance with offshore project requirements:
  • Functional safety (ESD, SIL)
  • Availability, redundancy, and maintainability
• Support HAZOP, SIL, Alarm management, model reviews, and constructability reviews, participation
  and close-out
• Provide support during mechanical completion, pre-commissioning, offshore commissioning, & start-up
