The Senior Engineer Process Control is responsible for designing, optimizing, and maintaining process control systems (PLC/DCS/APC) to ensure safe, stable, and efficient operation of fixed plant processing facilities including Crushing, Milling, Pebble, Pump & Piping, Screen, and Conveyor systems. This role focuses on improving plant performance, maximizing throughput and recovery, minimizing downtime, and supporting digital transformation initiatives through advanced control strategies and data analytics.Some of your duties will include:A. Process Control System ManagementDevelop, maintain, and optimize control strategies for PLC, DCS, and SCADA systems across processing plant areas.Ensure high availability and reliability of control systems and instrumentation.Perform system configuration, logic modification, loop tuning, and troubleshooting.Maintain control system documentation, backups, and change management records.B. Advanced Process Control & OptimizationDesign and implement Advanced Process Control (APC) strategies (e.g., PID tuning, model predictive control).Analyze plant performance data to identify improvement opportunities in throughput, recovery, and energy efficiency.Collaborate with Metallurgy and Operations teams to optimize process parameters.Drive continuous improvement initiatives using data analytics and digital tools.C. Instrumentation & Automation SupportProvide technical support for instrumentation (flow, pressure, level, temperature, analyzers, etc.).Ensure calibration, maintenance, and reliability of field instruments.Support troubleshooting control and instrumentation issues impacting production.D. Maintenance & Reliability EngineeringDevelop and improve preventive and predictive maintenance strategies for control systems.Lead root cause analysis (RCA) for control system failures and process instability.Support shutdown planning and execution related to control systems.Monitor system performance KPIs and recommend corrective actions.
E. Projects & System ImprovementLead and support control system upgrade projects (PLC/DCS migration, APC implementation).Participate in commissioning and start-up of new plant areas or modifications.Evaluate new technologies (digitalization, AI, real-time optimization tools).Ensure all engineering changes comply with Management of Change (MOC) procedures.F. Safety, Compliance & GovernanceEnsure compliance with HSE standards, Permit to Work, and safety regulations.Apply safe design principles in control systems (interlocks, trips, fail-safe systems).Support audits and ensure compliance with company policies and standards.G. Stakeholder CoordinationCoordinate with Operations, Maintenance, Metallurgy, and IT/Automation teams.Provide technical coaching and guidance to Engineers, Supervisors, and Technicians.Manage external vendors and contractors related to control systems.H. Reporting & Continuous ImprovementPrepare performance reports related to process stability, uptime, and control efficiency.Develop dashboards and monitoring tools for real-time plant performance.Drive standardization and best practices across control systems.
