• Ensure the control system and instrumentation related Safety Critical Elements (SCEs) are properly managed. Conduct SCEs verification at their required interval.

• Responsible for control system and instrumentation related KPI for Process Safety Management (PSM). Continuously monitor and update the KPI and ensure the KPIs are met. Plan and execute corrective action in case of any deviations found.

• Provide control system, instrumentation and telecommunication systems related equipment study and reporting, such as equipment integrity and reliability, Root Cause Analysis (RCA) of failure, equipment performance, compliance to preventive maintenance and corrective maintenance activities.

• Plan and execute the rectification plan of any findings or defect found during the inspection or audit.

• Managing onshore vendor activities, equipment repair, testing and liaison with Kemaman Supply Base (KSB) for material delivery to offshore production facilities. Managing contractors during design, fabrication, preparation for execution, offshore project execution, manpower mobilization, project close-out and document/drawing update for modification project.

• Ensure that the integrity, reliability, availability of production, utility equipment and other support systems are optimized, so that production delivery targets are achieved. This may include liaising with third party engineering contractors or in-house service providing design services to ensure project objectives are fulfilled, monitoring and controlling the implementation of repair orders, mobilizing and managing of vendors, preparing and controlling budgets as well as providing data sheets.

• Participate in any MOC (Management of Change) of facility upgrading or modification related to control system, instrumentation and telecommunication systems scope.

• Participate in Factory Acceptance Test (FAT) and Site Acceptance Test (SAT) for new equipment installation, modification and upgrade.

• Participate in HSE activities or engineering study e.g. HAZOP, HAZID, SIL Classification, SIL Verification, etc.

• Provide technical support to offshore teams for shutdown activities.

• Coordinate the meter validations and calibrations by third party.

• Provides assistance to the Vendors during any Metering System rectification / modification, Metering System Validation and Certification

• Co-ordinate with operation and maintenance counterparts to schedule metering calibrations / skid proving activities as per established calibration / proving matrix

• Ensure compliance to Petrofac Measurement and Accounting Procedure and Validation Manual for all metering and tank gauging issues.
