- Verify field-to-PLC signals, PLC logic, SCADA values, alarms, equipment status, interlocks, and control commands.





- Coordinate with customer teams, electrical contractors, instrumentation teams, and other project stakeholders.

- Identify and resolve commissioning issues while ensuring safe and reliable system operation.

- Prepare commissioning reports, punch lists, test records, and project handover documentation.

- Travel internationally as required for project commissioning, troubleshooting, maintenance, and technical support.

E. Troubleshooting and Technical Support

- Diagnose and resolve complex PLC, SCADA, HMI, industrial communication, instrumentation, and control system issues.

- Identify root causes of system failures and implement corrective actions.

- Troubleshoot digital and analog I/O signals, sensors, transmitters, actuators, VFDs, and field communication issues.

- Provide remote and on-site technical support to customers.

- Handle system upgrades, modifications, migrations, and restoration of existing automation systems.

F.

Project

Ownership and Technical Leadership

- Independently manage assigned automation projects or major technical work packages from engineering through commissioning and handover.

- Review project requirements, prepare technical solutions, estimate engineering effort, and identify implementation risks.

- Coordinate with internal engineering, software development, electrical, panel manufacturing, and project management teams.

- Track project progress, resolve technical dependencies, and ensure completion within agreed timelines.

- Guide junior engineers and review their PLC programs, SCADA applications, and commissioning work.

- Communicate project status, technical challenges, and proposed solutions to management and customers.

1. Mandatory Technical Requirements

The candidate must demonstrate practical,



hands-on experience in the following areas:
