  Jun 2004 - Mar 2006

  Process engineer

  I held the responsibility of overseeing the production equipment and processes to evaluate the current efficiency of the plant and to implement further improvements. I executed enhancements in equipment design aimed at increasing both efficiency and production throughput. Additionally, I prepared and maintained documentation to ensure adherence to internal and external regulations. I led the design and commissioning of a new small honey bottling facility within the existing plant, concentrating on the process control strategy and the necessary instrumentation. I was also responsible for conducting laboratory quality tests during evening shifts to support production activities. Furthermore, I collaborated with the production planning team to schedule production batches to meet production targets. Show less

  Process control engineer i

  Collaborated extensively with cross-functional engineering teams, technicians, operators, project managers, and external partners to design, develop, and implement a comprehensive control and measurement system including control panels. This system offers the versatility to conduct multiple prototype trials while facilitating process visualization, data monitoring and archiving, alarm management, and a diagnostic interface to identify root causes in the event of faults. I have spearheaded the initiative to enhance the prototype control system into a pilot control system, incorporating intelligent measurement systems and a versatile control framework that employs advanced process control strategies. Additionally, I have overseen the transition from the legacy SCADA system (WinCC) to a more sophisticated SCADA system (Ignition). Administered the design, development, quality assessment & implementation of the pilot control system. Mentored multiple engineers, technicians, operators, team leads and project managers. Show less

  Process control engineer ii

  I managed and optimized various automation systems (From lab to production scale) to ensure their safe & peak performance worldwide. Recently led automation systems deployment of a large scale project ($240M Capex) Collaborating closely with plant personnel, I facilitated the implementation of PLC and SCADA systems, offering troubleshooting assistance and training. I developed and maintained functional specifications for control systems, Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), and Operational Technology (OT) network architecture. I spearheaded the creation of specifications for advanced and intelligent instrumentation across multiple teams and projects. I partnered with both internal and external stakeholders to guarantee compliance with design standards. As the Subject Matter Expert (SME), I guided the processes through the design, development, testing, and commissioning phases of numerous control systems, control panels builds and instrumentation projects. My responsibilities included evaluating operational needs and converting them into actionable solutions with continuous improvement mindset. I designed and documented IIoT and control systems architectures and developed IIoT applications featuring process graphics, trending, alarm management, data archiving, scripting, user-defined attributes, and user management capabilities. I have facilitated HAZOP studies with interdisciplinary teams across multiple projects to identify and assess potential hazards within processes and operations with aim being to mitigate or reduce these hazards to ensure the safety of personnel and assets, enhance operational efficiency, and ensure compliance with regulatory standards. I introduced and executed solutions aimed at enhancing system predictability and data analytics. I’ve worked in close collaboration with IT teams to ensure effective solution implementations. Additionally, I provided mentorship to engineers, technicians, operators, team leaders, and project managers. Show less
