Overview

Responsible for the engineering, design, and technical oversight during construction of projects relating to gas regulating stations and the associated telemetering, control, and instrumentation systems.

Key Accountabilities:

• Perform instrumentation and controls engineering and design for natural gas construction projects which may include regulating facilities, large metering, natural gas heaters, remote operated equipment, and gate stations.
• Develop and implement programmable logic controller (PLC) control schemes for flow switching, metering, remote loading, flow control, pressure control, and burner control.
• Assist Instrumentation & Regulation (I&R) field crews in troubleshooting and commissioning equipment such as remote terminal units, water bath heaters, dryline heaters, hydronic heat systems, and gas analyzers.
• Develop and verify Pipe and Instrument Diagram (P&ID) drawings for regulator stations and burner systems.
• Develop and verify Control Diagram drawings for regulator stations.
• Collaborate with Gas System Operator (GSO) and Critical Network Infrastructure (CNI) to develop the necessary telemetry system for regulating stations using control room management techniques.
• Incorporate applicable Standards, Procedures and State/Federal statutory requirements into Gas system designs.
• Interpret and incorporate corporate process safety procedures.
• Identify and specify materials to be used in association with gas construction projects.
• Compile and review as built documentation for accuracy and incorporation into mapping and document management systems.
• Participate and/or lead inter-regional projects activities. This may require travel outside of assigned service territories.
