Dubai, United Arab Emirates
Senior Instrumentation & Control Engineer with 10+ years of hands-on experience across power generation, oil & gas, and utility projects in India and the UAE. I specialize in the full lifecycle of instrumentation and control systems — from engineering and procurement through installation, commissioning, and long-term maintenance. My technical depth spans Siemens SPPA-T3000, Teleperm XP-T2000, Siemens S7-200/300/400, Allen Bradley, Schneider PLCs, and SCADA platforms (WinCC, FactoryTalk View). Currently at DEWA (Dubai Electricity & Water Authority), I manage instrumentation activities across large-scale power and utility projects — covering P&ID review, engineering specifications, field device commissioning, control valve maintenance, F&G systems, and cross-functional coordination with operations, mechanical, and electrical teams. Previously at Torrent Power, I was a core member of the maintenance team for the 1530 MW SUGEN Combined Cycle Power Plant, maintaining Siemens gas turbines (V94.3), steam turbines, and Doosan HRSGs — and led commissioning activities at the 1200 MW DGEN Mega Power Project alongside Siemens engineers. What I bring to a new role: Deep field experience with complex DCS/PLC troubleshooting and fault resolution under live plant conditions Proven track record in project delivery — on time, within scope, and in compliance with international standards IMS Internal Auditor certified (ISO 9001, ISO 14001, OHSAS 18001, ISO 50001) Strong documentation practice: SOPs, as-builts, loop checks, calibration records I am actively seeking Instrumentation & Control Engineer roles in the UAE or Europe, ideally in power generation, oil & gas, or renewables.
Leading instrumentation and control engineering across large-scale utility and power generation projects at one of the Middle East's most prominent energy authorities. Key contributions: - Manage end-to-end instrumentation project delivery — from engineering design review and specification preparation through to procurement, installation, commissioning, and handover. - Review and approve P&IDs, instrument data sheets, and engineering drawings against project specs and international standards (IEC, ISA, IEC 61511). - Configure and maintain Siemens SPPA-T3000 DCS and associated PLC systems; perform advanced fault diagnosis to minimize plant downtime. - Oversee calibration, loop checking, and commissioning of pressure, level, flow, and temperature transmitters; control valves; actuators; fire & gas systems; and analyzers. - Coordinate vendor technical evaluations, procurement activities, and material availability across active project schedules. - Develop and maintain operating procedures, maintenance records, and as-built documentation Mentor and provide technical guidance to junior engineers and field technicians.
Supported instrumentation maintenance across a 1530 MW (4×382.5 MW) combined cycle plant integrating Siemens gas turbines (V94.3), steam turbines, and Doosan HRSGs with Siemens SPPA-T3000 and Teleperm XP-T2000 DCS platforms. Key contributions: - Conducted preventive and corrective maintenance of DCS, PLC, and field instrumentation under tight operational schedules. - Maintained and tested fire alarm and gas suppression systems (Minimax, Simplex, Honeywell). - Performed loop checking, calibration, and commissioning of control valves, transmitters, actuators, and analyzers (WTP, STP, CEMS). - Developed Standard Maintenance Procedures and checklists aligned with OEM guidelines. - Served as Internal Auditor for IMS (ISO 9001, 14001, OHSAS 18001, ISO 50001). - Managed critical spare procurement to optimize cost and maintain high plant availability. - Led root cause analyses for recurring failures; implemented corrective actions that improved system uptime.
Joined during the commissioning phase of a 1200 MW (3×400 MW) greenfield combined cycle power project, working in close collaboration with Siemens engineers. Transitioned into maintenance lead post-commissioning. Key contributions: - Participated in commissioning of gas turbines, steam turbines, HRSGs, pre-treatment and demineralization plants, and dosing systems alongside Siemens. - Commissioned the Gas Receiving & Dispatch Station in collaboration with Daniel (flow measurement specialist). - Installed, calibrated, and commissioned field instruments: ON/OFF and control valves, pneumatic/hydraulic actuators, pressure/level/flow/temperature transmitters, switches, and advanced analyzers (water quality, gas chromatography). - Integrated non-EPC fire alarm systems with the plant's central fire protection network. - Administered and maintained Siemens SPPA-T3000 DCS post-commissioning. - Transitioned to full preventive and corrective maintenance responsibilities across the plant.
