**Job Overview and Summary:**

Electrical / Instrumentation Maintenance Engineer - *Solve field issues. Strengthen process control. Improve E/I reliability.*

The role:

The Electrical / Instrumentation Maintenance Engineer provides technical support for electrical, instrumentation and process-control systems that affect production, equipment availability and safe operation. The role partners directly with E/I craft personnel during field troubleshooting, failure analysis, repair and return-to-service activities. The engineer serves as a technical resource for motors, drives, power distribution, field instruments, control valves, PLCs and selected Distributed Control System (DCS) applications, while supporting procedures, projects, turnarounds, reliability improvements and Mechanical Integrity Quality Assurance.

What you will own:

FIELD TROUBLESHOOTING & TECHNICAL SUPPORT

• Provide hands-on field troubleshooting assistance with E/I technicians for electrical, instrumentation, control-loop, PLC and DCS-related issues.
• Support safe diagnosis and restoration of motors, variable-frequency drives, motor controls, power distribution, sensors, transmitters, control valves and associated wiring and communications.
• Interpret drawings, P&IDs, instrument data sheets, ladder logic and control-system diagnostics.
• Define repair strategies, test requirements and return-to-service criteria, and remain engaged through verification of equipment performance.
• Coordinate with Operations, process control, engineering, vendors and craft personnel when problems cross equipment or system boundaries.
• Support improvement/optimization projects; partner with vendors and support Maintenance obsolescence reduction initiatives

INSTRUMENTATION & PROCESS CONTROL

• Provide engineering support for pressure, level, flow, temperature and analytical measurement systems and their associated sensing elements, transmitters and final control elements.
• Support control-valve diagnostics, sizing review, positioners, actuators, accessories, calibration and performance improvement.
• Apply experience with industry-leading OEM equipment and platforms, including Rockwell Automation and Allen-Bradley control systems, Fisher control valves and Rosemount measurement devices, or equivalent technologies.
• Support PLC troubleshooting, online diagnostics, minor logic modifications and program documentation within approved change-control practices.
• Support selected DCS troubleshooting, graphics, alarm, interlock, loop and configuration work in partnership with site process-control resources and approved system owners.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS & RELIABILITY

• Provide technical support for low- and medium-voltage distribution, switchgear, transformers, motors, motor-control centers, protective devices, grounding and industrial electrical equipment.
• Assist with electrical and instrumentation failure investigations and root-cause analysis, including recurring faults, nuisance trips, instrument drift and control-loop performance issues.
• Use maintenance history, condition-monitoring information and field observations to improve preventive and predictive maintenance strategies.
• Provide input to critical-equipment, obsolescence, spare-parts and reliability opportunity reviews.
• Support electrical safety, arc-flash, hazardous-area, grounding, calibration and applicable code or engineering-standard compliance.

PROCEDURES, CONFIGURATION & WORK QUALITY

• Develop and sustain technical procedures, Standard Practices, job plans, calibration instructions, test records and checklists for E/I maintenance work.
• Provide technical review during procedure creation and revision and ensure instructions reflect current equipment, configuration and safety requirements.
• Maintain accurate control narratives, setpoints, logic documentation, device configuration, drawings and bills of material.
• Initiate or support the applicable Management of Change process for logic, setpoint, control strategy, electrical design, instrumentation or equipment changes.
• Improve SAP equipment records and bills of material to support planning, troubleshooting and reliable execution.

PROJECTS, TURNAROUNDS & IMPROVEMENT

• Provide maintenance and reliability input to capital projects involving electrical, instrumentation, automation and process-control systems.
• Develop E/I turnaround scopes and support planning, execution, commissioning and closeout activities.
• Participate in Factory Acceptance Testing, Site Acceptance Testing, loop checks, functional testing and commissioning as assigned.
• Evaluate repair, replacemen
