You are responsible toreview and estimate design costs including equipment, installation, labor, materials, preparation, and other related costs. Develops design engineering criteria and performance specifications required to meet unique process equipment and facility systems operating requirements and building safety codes. Leads the discipline specific systems operations and maintenance activities to ensure safe and efficient operation. Responsibilities
Technical lead for design, construction, commissioning, system acceptance testing, and operations of critical facilities control systems. Integrate critical facilities and life safety systems into building management system (BMS) for operational visibility, alarms and trends. Experienced designing process flow diagrams, P&IDs, single line diagrams, cable and conduit schedules, instrumentation and control data sheets, I/O lists and controls narratives is a plus. Leads repairs, maintenance, calibrations and spare parts programs. Ensures new facilities and new process tool installation designs incorporate the latest controls and instrumentation standards and best practices.
