Lead Instrumentation and Controls Engineer Lead Systems Engineer

Description

The Lead Instrumentation and Controls Engineer owns the end-to-end instrumentation and controls design of integrated gas skid and station solutions that support safe reliable fuel-gas supply for mission-critical data center gas power infrastructure. Fuel gas skids and station solutions include fuel gas conditioning skids gas flow metering skids pressure regulation and monitoring skids and gas composition analysis stations. This role delivers safe reliable constructible and cost-effective designs for large projects. The engineer integrates gas metering pressure regulation gas-quality analysis fixed gas detection flow computing and process instrumentation to ensure dependable fuel-gas supply accurate energy measurement protection of critical equipment and continuous operational visibility.

Success in this role is demonstrated throughdelivering complete and accurate design packages on schedule while ensuring compliance with customer safety quality and regulatory requirements; minimizing design-related rework during fabrication installation and commissioning; effectively managing technical risk scope cost schedule and interfaces; achieving successful factory and site acceptance with reliable system performance; and driving continuous improvements through standardization design reuse and enhanced engineering efficiency.
