This document provides details for an Instrument/Electrical Controls Engineer position including responsibilities and relevant project experience. The position required an understanding of process responses in gas and oil processing facilities as well as knowledge of relevant standards. Responsibilities included developing control portions of flowsheets, specifying devices and materials, and designing instrument layouts. As a project controls engineer, responsibilities involved developing the controls and low voltage portions of projects including a gas pipeline compressor installation upgrade and delivery meter station. Relevant experience includes projects for Northwest Natural Mist Storage and a Columbia Meter Station.
