Major Accountabilities
Engineering and maintenance of control and optimization applications. Unit control objectives and constraints are determined and controller variables defined and programmed to meet objectives. Models are developed from unit testing, Controls are implemented and tuned, Constraint settings are monitored and consulting is provided to operations on where to set these constraints to achieve optimum control performance.
Consult with Planning and Operations to optimize targets and constraints, and to maintain implementation of the targets
Engineering and maintenance of regulatory control applications as needed for operations and to support control applications. Develop and program correlations and calculated variables as needed to supplement control applications and operational requirements.
Engineer, implement, and maintain supporting applications for process control applications, such as PHD/LIMS, Doc 3000, Integrity MOC, and others. Provide training and consulting to personnel in the use of these systems as needed
Provide consulting to management of long term, strategic directions for control applications. Develop AFE's and budget items for all controls and supplemental applications. Provide instrumentation and controls consulting to other projects, such as new units, as needed.
Engineer and install computer control systems. This is achieved through studying available computer hardware and software, selecting the best suited to a particular need, then installing according to codes and standards
Engineer and implement effective operator interfaces for both regulatory and controls and supplemental applications. Develop and maintain good standards for graphics, alarms, and other parts of the operator interface system
Local Control Network, Universal Control Network, and Fault Tolerant Ethernet hardware and software installation and maintenance. Layout, spec., and install fiber optic cable and equipment, hubs, modems, switches, and computers
Regularly communicate with supervisor and team members to ensure Departmental deadlines are achieved
EXPECTED RESULTS
Accurate, optimized control giving better product specification compliance and reduced processing costs
