Job RequirementsRelevant Experience Required:Proven experience in preparing and executing instrument work packs in brownfield/live plant TAR environments.Proficient in SAP-PM, MS Office, and Primavera P6.Familiar with international codes and standards (IEC, ISA, ATEX, SIL).Technical:Strong knowledge of field instruments.Familiar with DCS, ESD, PLC systems and associated loop logics.Planning & Execution:Skilled in TAR job sequencing, interface coordination, and job bundling.Experience in managing high-criticality loops (e.g., shutdown logic, SIL-rated instruments).Knowledge of calibration procedures and control system cutover strategies.Safety & Compliance:Strong HSE awareness in instrument isolation, high-pressure systems, and confined space entry.Familiarity with permit-to-work systems and hazardous energy control measures.Communication & Teamwork:Effective communicator with strong documentation and reporting abilities.Able to interface effectively with multi-discipline teams (operations, electrical, mechanical, QA/QC).Key Deliverables:Fully approved and execution-ready Instrument Work Packs.Updated SAP records with task steps, duration, material codes, and job status.Availability of materials, tools, and vendor services prior to execution.HSE compliance in instrument isolation, loop testing, and job execution.Support during execution, quality checks, and lessons-learned capture.Key Responsibilities:Work Request Evaluation & Scope DefinitionReview instrumentation TAR notifications and work orders for accuracy and completeness.Validate scope through field verification, drawings, and consultation with requestors.Conduct site surveys to check loop elements, accessibility, HAC, and isolation requirements.Identify obsolete or duplicate scope and support late scope inclusion and change control workflows.Work Pack PreparationDevelop detailed instrumentation execution work packs aligned with TAR readiness gates and client-specific procedures. * Work packs must include:
  • Job method statements (e.g., calibration, loop checking, replacement).
  • MTO, tools, and test equipment lists (e.g., HART communicator, multimeter, pressure calibrator).
  • Updated P&IDs, loop diagrams, JB schedules, I/O lists, and instrument indexes.
  • Process and electrical isolation plans.
  • QA/QC hold and witness points.
  • Testing procedures: loop checks, functional testing, calibration protocols.
  • Safety requirements include scaffolding, access, and lifting plans.
Ensure CMMS (e.g., SAP) is updated with correct tasks, durations, materials, and work center codes.Maintain compliance with the client’s Work Pack Preparation Procedure and revision control.Material, Tools & Spare Parts PlanningIdentify all necessary instrument spares and materials (e.g., transmitters, valves, tubing, fittings, impulse lines).Verify MTOs through field walkdowns, OEM documentation, and BOMs.Coordinate with Supply Chain to confirm ROS dates and material availability.Monitor readiness of specialized testHSE & Risk AssessmentPerform job-specific risk assessments, JSAs, and support instrument-specific HAZOP/HAZID studies. * Address instrumentation risks such as:Working with pressurized systems.Impulse line draining and venting.Exposure to hazardous gases in analyzer systems.High-energy pneumatic/hydraulic actuators.Ensure compliance with TAR HSE protocols and availability of required PTWs, isolations, and energy control procedures.Vendor, Resource & Contractor CoordinationLiaise with third-party vendors for calibration services, analyzer tuning, DCS/ESD support.Ensure contractor resources are onboarded, briefed, and trained in site-specific procedures.Validate readiness of subcontractors, including QA/QC support and specialized personnel (e.g., analyzer technicians, instrument fitters).Schedule Integration & Execution SupportAlign instrument work packs with overall TAR schedule using Primavera (P6).Identify critical instrumentation jobs impacting commissioning or production (e.g., ESD loops, SIL loops).Provide field support during job execution, RFI resolution, and work pack closeout.Quality, Data & Change ManagementCapture lessons learned from repetitive scopes (e.g., valve calibration, loop checks) for future TARs.Support KPI tracking, incident investigations, audits, and post-TAR review sessionsWork ExperienceBachelor’s degree in Instrument engineering or equivalentMinimum 10 years of oil & gas industry experience (onshore/offshore) with a strong background in instrumentation maintenance, commissioning, or TAR executionRelevant Experience Required:Proven experience in preparing and executing instrument work packs in brownfield/live plant TAR environments.Proficient in SAP-PM, MS Office, and Primavera P6.Familiar with international codes and standards (IEC, ISA, ATEX, SIL).Technical:Strong knowledge of field instruments.Familiar with DCS, ESD, PLC systems and associated loop logics.Planning & Execution:Skilled in TAR job sequencing, interface coordination, and job bundling.Experience in managing high-criticality loops (e.g., shutdown logic, SIL-rated instruments).Knowledge of calibration procedures and control system cutover strategies.Safety & Compliance:Strong HSE awareness in instrument isolation, high-pressure systems, and confined space entry.Familiarity with permit-to-work systems and hazardous energy control measures.Communication & Teamwork:Effective communicator with strong documentation and reporting abilities.Able to interface effectively with multi-discipline teams (operations, electrical, mechanical, QA/QC).
