Process Control Technician specializing in SCADA/HMI monitoring and industrial IT support for reliable plant uptime.
What I'm looking for
I’m an Industrial Process Control Technician with over 6 years of hands-on experience in a vegetable oil processing plant, specializing in SCADA/HMI-based process monitoring and production supervision. I focus on process reliability, uptime, and continuous plant performance improvement while working closely with engineers and operations teams.
In live production environments, I operated and monitored SCADA/HMI-based systems, tracking key process parameters like temperature, pressure, and flow rates and reporting deviations immediately. I also supported preventive and corrective maintenance, helped diagnose and resolve alarms and operational faults, and ensured continuous production uptime through active, real-time monitoring. I prepared detailed shift reports and ensured seamless handovers to keep operations stable.
Alongside process control, I provide first-line IT support across hardware, software, and basic network troubleshooting, including installing and configuring desktop computers and peripheral devices. I’ve also been developing my software skills through frontend development learning and Expo-based mobile/web application work, with growing interest in industrial systems and software technologies.
