Contribute to basic and detailed design across both software and hardware
Develop application software and reusable templates for FGSS automation
Create and maintain project-specific documentation, including control philosophy, logic descriptions, and test procedures
Communicate technical topics with internal and external stakeholders
Support project management with progress reporting and engineering status updates
Perform onboard commissioning of FGSS systems, including loop checks, tuning, and system validation
Troubleshoot and resolve software and hardware issues during commissioning and on vessels in operation
Key Requirements
BSc or MSc in Engineering (Automation, Cybernetics, Process Control, or related field)
Strong understanding of P&ID, SCD, and process control sequences
Deep knowledge of process control loops, tuning, dynamic behaviour, and commissioning practice
Experience with dynamic simulation tools (e.g., HYSYS) is preferred
Familiarity with industrial communication protocols: Modbus, Profinet, Profibus
Hands-on experience with process loop calibration and commissioning
Knowledge of automation hardware for ATEX zones and IS loops
Strong programming skills (role is 70–80% software-oriented)
Background in Oil & Gas or LNG systems and understanding of gas standards and regulations
Familiarity with class regulations (DNV, BV, etc.) and approval processes
Knowledge of Gas Safety Systems, Safety PLCs, and Fire & Gas Systems
Strong team spirit, proactive mindset, and the ability to work under pressure and meet deadlines
