• Review instrumentation design documents including instrument index, I/O lists, instrument datasheets, specifications, hook-up drawings, loop diagrams, cable schedules, and termination drawings.
• Review and coordinate P&IDs, control system interfaces, instrument locations, and instrumentation layouts.
• Ensure instrumentation design and installation activities comply with project specifications, ADNOC requirements, applicable codes, and international standards.
• Provide technical support to construction teams during instrument installation, calibration, tubing, cabling, termination, testing, and commissioning activities.
• Resolve site technical queries, RFIs, engineering issues, and construction-related instrumentation problems.
• Review contractor and vendor technical submissions, method statements, material approvals, and instrumentation documentation.
• Coordinate with QA/QC teams for instrumentation inspection, testing, calibration, and documentation.
• Support installation and testing of field instruments, control valves, analyzers, transmitters, switches, gauges, and associated instrumentation systems.
• Support DCS, ESD, F&G, PLC, and other control system interfaces and integration activities.
• Participate in loop checking, continuity checks, functional testing, cause & effect verification, and pre-commissioning activities.
• Provide technical support during commissioning, start-up, and troubleshooting of instrumentation and control systems.
• Participate in FAT, SAT, inspections, design reviews, technical meetings, and commissioning activities as required.
• Coordinate with commissioning teams to ensure instrumentation systems are mechanically complete, tested, and ready for commissioning.
• Monitor site progress and ensure instrumentation construction activities are executed in accordance with approved drawings, specifications, quality requirements, and project schedules.
• Support punch-list clearance, system handover, and final project documentation.

KEY QUALIFICATIONS:
