environment.

• Develop, test, and implement regulatory control schemes for refinery process units.
• Troubleshoot and resolve process control issues affecting plant operations.
• Perform control loop tuning and improve control performance.
• Manage and implement control system changes in accordance with Management of

Change (MOC) procedures.

System Optimization

• Analyze process data to identify opportunities for operational improvements.
• Develop and implement advanced control strategies such as model predictive control

(MPC) or multivariable control.

• Reduce process variability and improve plant stability and product quality.
• Monitor key performance indicators (KPIs) for control system performance.

Maintenance & Reliability

• Maintain and troubleshoot DeltaV DCS hardware and software including controllers, I/O

modules, workstations, and networks.

• Coordinate with instrumentation and electrical teams to ensure proper functioning of
