  • Punch List & Defect Management: Identify, log, and systematically clear instrumentation punch-list items, non-conformance reports (NCRs), and logic/wiring discrepancies prior to plant startup.

  • Subcontractor & Crew Supervision: Direct and coordinate instrument technicians, vendor specialists, and commissioning teams to maintain strict execution quality and adhere to commissioning schedules.

  • Safety & Compliance: Enforce rigorous site safety procedures, including Lockout/Tagout (LOTO), Permit to Work (PTW) systems, hazardous area classifications (Ex/ATEX compliance), and ESDM mining regulations.

  • Handover & Documentation: Review, complete, and sign off on field calibration certificates, loop sheets, commissioning test packages, and turnover dossiers for operational sign-off.

Essential skills and knowledge

  • Experience: Minimum 8+ years of specialized experience in instrumentation installation and commissioning within large-scale mining, mineral processing, oil & gas, or petrochemical facilities.

  • Certifications (Desirable):

    • Valid POP (Pengawas Operasional Pratama) certification from ESDM.

    • Hazardous Area Certifications (e.g., CompEx or equivalent Ex inspector certification).

  • Technical Mastery: In-depth knowledge of HART, Foundation Fieldbus, and Profibus protocols; control valve tuning; smart field transmitters; and DCS/PLC automation architecture (e.g., Siemens, Allen-Bradley, ABB, Schneider).
