Control and Instrumentation Engineer

The Control & Mechanical Instrumentation Engineer is responsible for the design, maintenance, troubleshooting, and optimization of control systems, instrumentation, and mechanical equipment. The role covers PLCs, HMIs, SCADA systems, sensors, automation systems, and mechanical machinery such as pumps, conveyors, and rotating equipment. The engineer ensures accurate monitoring, system stability, and plant reliability while supporting equipment installation, commissioning, and continuous improvement initiatives.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, calibrate, and maintain control systems and process instruments (temperature, pressure, flow, level, moisture, steam).

• Maintain and troubleshoot PLCs, HMIs, SCADA systems, VFDs, servo drives, and industrial networks.

• Troubleshoot electrical systems including motors, sensors, control panels, MCCs, and power distribution equipment.

• Perform preventive maintenance and fault diagnosis on mechanical equipment (pumps, cylinders, conveyors, rotating machinery).

• Conduct first-level mechanical troubleshooting of bearings, gearboxes, chains, belts, couplings, conveyors, pneumatic, hydraulic, and steam systems.

• Support and optimize corrugator and converting equipment automation systems.

• Investigate corrugator-specific issues (single facer roll alignment, double backer belt tracking, splicer tension control, preheater drive mechanisms, cut-off knife synchronization, stacker conveying systems).

• Conduct root cause analysis (RCA) and implement corrective actions to reduce downtime.

• Lead automation, reliability, and continuous improvement projects.

• Support equipment installation, commissioning, and upgrades.

• Ensure compliance with electrical safety and LOTO (Lockout/Tagout) procedures.

• Maintain technical documentation, calibration records, and PLC backups.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical, Control, or Instrumentation Engineering, Mechatronics Engineering, Industrial Automation Engineering.

• 3–5 years of experience in control systems, instrumentation, and mechanical maintenance.

• Strong knowledge of PLCs, HMIs, SCADA, VFDs, and industrial automation.

• Experience with preventive maintenance, calibration, and fault diagnosis.

• Familiarity with corrugator and converting equipment is an advantage.

Skills & Competencies

• Excellent problem-solving and analytical skills.

• Ability to interpret mechanical and electrical schematics.

• Strong communication and teamwork abilities.

• Proficiency in diagnostic tools, calibration equipment, and maintenance software.

• Attention to detail and commitment to safety standards.

• Ability to manage multiple tasks under pressure.
