What I'm looking for

I’m seeking to bring my I&C expertise to projects in Europe.

At Bakhtar Group, I review I&C design documents and prepare technical bid evaluations for major field instruments and control systems on an upstream gas field development project. My work includes evaluating HIMA safety controllers for SIL-rated ESD and HIPPS applications and participating in HAZOP, HAZID and SIL studies.

At SPG Polymers, I reviewed licensor and EPCC documentation for a Topsoe-licensed methanol plant and related units, and led proposal evaluation, instrument sizing verification and vendor document review. I also supported commissioning through plant stabilization, including configuration and loop-checking of Yokogawa CENTUM VP DCS.

At PEDEC, I led the I&C engineering department for the Yadavaran Oil Field Development project. I participated in safety studies, determined IPF/SIL requirements, and supported commissioning and system acceptance testing using SUPCON DCS and HIMA safety controllers.

Across my I&C work, I have contributed to FEED and EPC projects and delivered instrumentation and control training, including SPI/Intools, to engineers. I also achieved 10–20% cost savings on control and on/off valve inspection scopes through design modification. I’m currently seeking to bring this expertise to projects in Europe.
