Specific responsibilities may include: 

• Execute field wiring verification and continuity checks against as-built drawings and instrument schedules
• Perform instrument loop checks across various signal types: thermocouples, RTDs, pressure transmitters, flow meters, level switches, and discrete I/O
• Configure and verify field instruments including zero/span calibration, engineering unit assignment, and damping settings
• Troubleshoot and resolve manufacturing errors including mislabeled conductors, incorrect instrument types, and out-of-range configurations
• Conduct control valve stroke tests and verify positioner setup and calibration
• Verify PLC I/O mapping against the field instrument list
• Support utility tie-ins and instrument installation or site integrations in the field

Qualifications: 

• 3+ years of hands-on instrumentation experience in an industrial, process, or manufacturing environment
• Proficiency calibrating and verifying pressure, temperature, and flow instruments
