About the Role

DAR ENGINEERING is seeking an experienced ENGINEER I&C to join their team in Riyadh. This full-time position involves providing site-level inspection, supervision, and assurance for all instrumentation and control works related to the TSE pipelines and reservoir facilities contract.

Role Overview and Responsibilities

As the client's representative, the Engineer I&C will ensure that instrumentation and control systems, including field instruments, sensors, transmitters, analyzers, PLC panels, control wiring, and SCADA interfaces, are installed, tested, and commissioned in strict accordance with approved designs, project specifications, NWC/EXPRO requirements, Saudi regulations, and international standards. The role requires active site supervision, quality verification, and safety oversight.

• Supervise daily site activities for correct installation, calibration, and integration of instruments and control systems.
• Inspect I&C equipment, cabling, loop checks, and functional tests to ensure compliance with project specifications and international standards (IEC, ISA, IEEE).
• Enforce safe work practices during instrumentation installation, testing, and energisation to ensure long-term system reliability.
• Coordinate with electrical, mechanical, SCADA, civil, QA/QC, and HSE teams for seamless integration of I&C systems.
• Identify and report deviations, non-conformances, or integration issues for timely resolution.
• Verify the readiness of I&C systems for pre-commissioning, loop testing, and final commissioning to support smooth handover to operations.
• Oversee EPC contractor and subcontractor performance, witness FATs, SATs, and testing, and ensure timely resolution of NCRs and site observations.
• Maintain daily inspection logs, calibration records, and test sheets, and contribute to progress reports.

Qualifications

Candidates should possess a diploma or Bachelor's degree in Instrumentation & Control Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, or a related discipline from a recognized institution. Additional training in instrument calibration, loop testing, and control system commissioning is advantageous. Professional certifications in instrumentation inspection, automation, or industrial control systems (*, ISA, IEC, or equivalent) are desirable. HSE-related certifications such as LOTO, Confined Space Entry, or Electrical Safety are beneficial. Membership in a professional body (ISA, IEEE, IET, or Saudi Council of Engineers (SCE)) is preferred.

Experience Requirements

A minimum of 5 to 10 years of relevant experience is required, with 5-8 years specifically in I&C inspection, testing, and commissioning for large-scale infrastructure or utility projects. Experience within the water, wastewater, TSE pipelines, reservoir facilities, or pumping stations sector is essential. Proven experience in the inspection of field instruments, sensors, transmitters, analyzers, PLC/DCS panels, and SCADA interfaces is necessary. Involvement in instrument calibration, loop checks, point-to-point verifications, FATs, SATs, and commissioning of process control systems is expected. Experience supporting the integration of I&C systems with SCADA, electrical systems, and mechanical process equipment is also required.

Technical Skills

Strong knowledge of instrumentation installation, calibration, loop testing, and integration with SCADA systems is crucial. Proficiency in reviewing shop drawings, ITPs, method statements, and vendor submittals is necessary. The candidate must be skilled in preparing and verifying instrument calibration records, loop check sheets, and commissioning documentation. Familiarity with IEC, ISA, IEEE, and Saudi standards for I&C systems is required. Competence in using digital inspection and reporting tools, EDMS, and test/calibration equipment is expected.
