Location: Colton, California
Travel Requirements & Working Conditions
Travel: Up to 25–40% based on project needs (regional and occasional out-of-state).
Typical travel purposes: Customer/site walks, design coordination meetings, pre-FAT reviews, customer witness FAT, inspections, interface meetings with the GC/EC/customer, troubleshooting, and post-shipment technical support meetings (non-installation).
Duration: Most trips 1–3 days; occasional trips up to 1 week for major FATs or multi-package projects.
Schedule flexibility: Ability to travel on short notice at times to support critical project milestones (e.g., customer witness FAT windows).
Physical demands: Ability to work in shop and industrial environments around large equipment; may require standing/walking for extended periods, and climbing ladders/stairs.
Site conditions: Exposure to industrial hazards (noise, dust, weather, moving equipment) while adhering to required PPE and site safety rules.
Scope of Supply (Typical)
Control system design (instrumentation and control architecture, integration, and interfaces)
MCC lineups and associated controls
Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs) and controls (as applicable)
Reduced Voltage Soft Starters (RVSS) and controls (as applicable)
RTUs / PLC panels (as applicable to contract)
Field instruments (specified instruments and accessories)
Switchboards (SWBD) as part of package supply (startup/energization excluded)
Associated drawings, submittals, test documentation, owner trainings, and FAT execution
Core Responsibilities
Control System Design (Primary Technical Ownership)
Develop the overall control system approach based on project requirements, including:
Control architecture (RTU/PLC/remote I/O concepts where applicable)
Communications and integration philosophy (protocols, network topology, addressing strategy)
Power and control interface requirements between MCC/VFD/RVSS/RTU and instrumentation
Produce and/or review design deliverables as required by the contract and internal standards:
I/O lists, instrument lists, control narratives/cause & effect (when required)
Loop diagrams, termination drawings, and interconnects
Panel drawings (wiring diagrams, layouts, BOMs) and integration details
Network diagrams and communications mappings (when applicable)
Ensure designs are buildable, testable (FAT-ready), and aligned with customer standards and project constraints.
Coordinate design reviews and address comments to closure prior to shop release.
Drive punch list closure and documentation completeness prior to shipment.
Support turnover package delivery: as-builts, O&M manuals, certificates, settings/parameter records (if applicable), and training materials (if in scope).
Interfaces & Exclusions (Clear Boundaries)
No installation: The I&C Project Engineer does not supervise or perform field installation.
No switchboard startup/energization: The I&C Project Engineer does not perform SWBD startup, energization, or utility/meter connections.
Provide interface documentation needed by others (e.g., termination points, metering requirements, coordination notes), but do not execute energization work.
Risk Management Expectations (Required)
Maintain a living Risk Register for assigned projects (schedule, technical, vendor, testing, safety, and interface risks).
Identify and mitigate risks specific to control system design and packaged equipment:
2+ years supporting control system design and delivery for I&C, MCC/VFD/RVSS packages, RTUs/PLCs, or industrial electrical/control systems.
Ability to interpret P&IDs, one-lines, wiring diagrams, and control schematics.
Familiarity with RTU/PLC interfaces and basic communications troubleshooting.
Strong documentation discipline and customer-facing communication skills.
Performance Measures
Control system designs are complete, buildable, and FAT-ready with minimal rework.
FATs executed safely, on schedule, with complete documentation and minimal retest cycles.
Submittals and vendor packages meet specifications with clearly documented deviations.
Risks identified early and mitigated before impacting shipment/turnover.
Turnover packages delivered complete and accurate with clean as-builts.
