Instrumentation Engineer

Nesco Resource is partnering with a global engineering and technology organization seeking an Instrumentation Engineer to join its Houston engineering team.

This position will support large-scale industrial process and capital projects from engineering and design through procurement construction commissioning and startup.

The ideal candidate will have a strong background in instrumentation engineering field instrumentation and instrument installation. This is not a programming-focused controls/automation position. We are looking for someone who enjoys the hands-on technical side of instrumentation engineering and wants to continue growing within that specialty.

• Develop instrumentation engineering deliverables including instrument indexes I/O lists datasheets loop diagrams hook-up drawings cable schedules and installation layouts
• Specify and select field instrumentation for pressure temperature flow and level
• Size and specify control valves and other instrumentation equipment
• Develop instrument specifications technical documentation material requisitions and bid evaluations
• Review vendor drawings and technical documentation
• Provide instrumentation input to P&IDs and project design documentation
• Support instrument layouts cable engineering BOM estimates and installation requirements
• Coordinate with process electrical mechanical piping and controls/automation engineering teams
• Participate in design and 3D model reviews for accessibility and constructability
• Interface with clients vendors contractors and project teams
• Support FATs SATs loop checks field installation commissioning startup and troubleshooting
• Support projects throughout engineering procurement construction and field execution

• B.S. in Electrical Engineering or related electrical discipline required
• 3 years of instrumentation engineering experience within chemical petrochemical refining energy industrial process EPC or similar environments
• Strong hands-on experience with field instrumentation design and specification
• Experience with control valve sizing and specification
• Experience developing instrumentation engineering deliverables in a project environment
• EIT/FE certification with a commitment to pursue PE licensure preferred
• Familiarity with DCS PLC SCADA and/or Safety Instrumented Systems is beneficial; however this position is not centered around PLC programming or controls programming
• Knowledge of applicable ISA IEC NEC NFPA and/or API standards is preferred
• Experience with engineering software such as COMOS SmartPlant or AutoCAD is a plus but not required
• Must be comfortable traveling approximately 2030% domestically and internationally

Exact industry experience is less important than having strong instrumentation fundamentals. Candidates from chemical petrochemical refining oil & gas energy EPC process manufacturing or other large industrial project environments are encouraged to apply.

This is an excellent opportunity for an engineer who wants to remain a hands-on technical Instrumentation Engineer and contribute to complex large-scale industrial projects while working with a collaborative engineering team.
