Promote and justify plant automation concepts and projects.
Provide expertise to the plant in the areas of automation, DCS/PLC systems, interlock systems, data acquisition systems and process instrumentation.
Assist with transfers and new product introduction, including assessment of current equipment capabilities, HSE issues, capital requirements, and quality assurance capabilities.
With support from Plant Quality and Process engineering, assist efforts to implement formal systems and processes to analyze quality, cycle‑time improvements, variation reduction for multiple product lines, and methods to establish operational accountability.
Work toward establishing ‘in‑control’ processes.
Support small capital projects associated with units.
Determine justification, scope definition, safety reviews, punch‑list items, coordination of implementation with production schedule, startup, chemical commissioning and performance reporting on agreed deliverables.
Maintain accurate flow diagrams, electrical diagrams and equipment and control specifications.
Maintain up‑to‑date interlock matrices, safety instrumented function testing systems and records. Utilize management of change for applicable situations.
Train production operators and supervisors on unit operations, chemistries, batch recipe or DCS changes/enhancements in regard to product lines.
Support the plant’s quality management systems and its compliance with pertinent quality standards.
Ensure personal safety and overall support of plant achievement of zero lost‑time injuries, zero recordable injuries, and zero environmental incidents.
Participate in safety reviews for product lines and associated equipment for management of change, new product introduction/technology transfer, revalidation of process hazard analysis.
