Job Description
We are looking for Control System Engineers with strong experience in Gas Turbine Controls development. The role requires expertise in control logic design, sequencing, interlocks, protection logic, testing, validation, and commissioning support for gas turbine applications.
Job Description
We are looking for Control System Engineers with strong experience in Steam Turbine, HRSG/Boiler, and Balance of Plant (BOP) Controls development. The role requires expertise in control logic design, sequencing, interlocks, protection logic, testing, validation, and commissioning support for power generation applications. Candidates should have strong understanding of steam cycle operation, plant process behavior, and auxiliary systems along with hands‑on experience in DCS, PLC, or plant control platforms. Experience with turbine or plant control systems is preferred. However, candidates with relevant controls engineering experience in Steam Turbine, HRSG, Boiler, or BOP applications on other industrial control platforms are also encouraged to apply.
Roles & Responsibilities
Design, develop, and modify control logic and sequencing for Steam Turbine, HRSG, and BOP control systems
Develop interlocks, permissives, alarms, trips, and protection logic
Work on control loops, functional logic testing, and system validation
Review control philosophy, P&IDs, signal lists, cause-and-effect diagrams, and other engineering documents
Identify and resolve discrepancies before software implementation
Support software testing, FAT, SAT, SWAT, and commissioning activities
Support startup, commissioning, remote troubleshooting, and issue resolution in collaboration with engineering and site teams.
Coordinate with customers, stakeholders, and internal engineering teams for requirements clarification and execution
Support software upgrades, modifications, and technical improvements in plant controls applications
For Lead Engineer role: guide team members, review technical deliverables, and ensure quality execution
