Directed end-to-end Turnaround (TA) Instrumentation planning and execution, ensuring seamless project delivery and operational readiness.

Developed comprehensive TA job packages for field instruments, control valves, and control systems, integrating failure history to optimize material identification and procurement.

Managed the full lifecycle of TA-related documentation, including compiling team-specific execution packages, drawings, data sheets, and material lists for efficient reference.

Conducted rigorous technical evaluations of spare parts during procurement and drafted detailed technical scopes of work, contributing to successful bid evaluations.

Designed detailed, time-phased job plans for smooth TA execution, consistently meeting milestones and significantly minimizing schedule delays.

Developed and enforced Job Safety Analyses (JSAs) for all TA-related control system and instrumentation activities, ensuring uncompromising safety standards.

Proactively identified, planned, and secured all necessary services, tools, and facilities, enabling seamless and efficient TA execution.

Oversaw and coordinated complex project and maintenance instrumentation jobs during TA windows, collaborating cross-functionally to deliver major modifications and core maintenance work.

Led the commissioning of MS Block Instrumentation, directly managing project success and reporting to senior management.

Planned, supervised, and coordinated daily commissioning activities across multiple departments, ensuring seamless project execution and adherence to timelines.

Managed critical vendor and contractor relationships, serving as the primary point of contact to maintain commissioning phase progress and resolve issues.

Oversaw the precise calibration, installation, and commissioning of electronic, pneumatic instruments, and control valves.

Managed the safe commissioning of complex control systems specifically for gas compressors, ensuring operational integrity.

Conducted dry logic checks in PLC and DCS, validating implementation against vendor logic drawings and communication protocols between DCS and third-party PLCs.

Handled comprehensive loop checking, DCS range settings, alarm configurations, and full-scale logic simulations to ensure system accuracy.

Enforced strict quality control across all construction works, ensuring total compliance with project specifications, engineering standards, and codes of practice.

Calibrated pressure, temperature, flow, and level transmitters with high precision, ensuring exact alignment between field readings and control room indicators.

Verified end-to-end control loop integrity by systematically tracing signals from field elements through junction boxes and marshalling cabinets to DCS and PLC.

Configured, tested, and troubleshot smart field devices using HART communicators, enhancing system functionality and reliability.

Overhauled, stroked, and calibrated control valves to ensure highly precise process throttling and responsive operation.

Executed scheduled preventative maintenance on critical process analyzers, gas chromatographs (GCs), and Fire & Gas (F&G) safety systems, minimizing downtime.

Diagnosed and resolved critical instrument failures under high-pressure conditions, mitigating partial or full-unit process upsets and ensuring continuous operation.

Conducted function testing on Emergency Shutdown (ESD) valves and performed full safety lifecycle proof testing on PESS interlocks, ensuring failsafe operational readiness and compliance.

Led control system revamp and upgrade projects, overseeing migration, software updates, and OEM coordination for DCS and PLC platforms.
