  • Level:
    Level Instruments:
    Radar (free-space, guided wave), magnetostrictive, displacer level transmitters, capacitance, ultrasonic, DP level, and float-based systems.
  • Temperature Instruments:
    RTDs, thermocouples, thermowells, infrared sensors, bimetallic thermometers, and fiber-optic temperature measurement devices.
  • Analytical Instruments:
    pH, conductivity, oxygen analyzers, moisture analyzers, dew point analyzers, gas analyzers, continuous emission monitors, and process gas chromatographs.
  • Vibration Instruments:
    Accelerometers, velocity probes, eddy-current displacement sensors, and portable vibration analyzers for rotating machinery health monitoring.
  • Commission and conduct full functional tests on each instrument, verifying signal integrity, proper scaling, alarm setpoints, and communication with DCS, PLC, or other control systems.
  • Perform loop checks, ensuring end-to-end functionality and readiness for startup.

Control Valves & Final Control Elements:

  • Inspect, stroke, and configure various control valves (rotary, butterfly, globe, gate, ball) and their associated components.
  • Install, test, and troubleshoot valve accessories including solenoids, limit switches, position transmitters, I/P converters, positioners, and volume tanks.
  • Ensure proper operation under normal and emergency conditions, and validate fail-safe modes.

Communication Protocols & Signal Types:

  • Work with a wide range of signal types, including analog (4-20 mA, 1-5 VDC) and digital (HART, Foundation Fieldbus, Modbus, DeviceNet) communications.
  • Integrate instruments into control networks using wireless solutions (e.g., WirelessHART, ISA100) where applicable, ensuring robust and secure data transmission.
  • Confirm proper addressing, configuration, and loop tuning to achieve optimal process control performance.

Troubleshooting & Documentation:

  • Diagnose instrumentation and control-related issues by interpreting P&IDs, loop sheets, wiring diagrams, and vendor data.
  • Isolate and rectify faults in electrical and electronic circuits, communication links, and field devices.
  • Maintain accurate documentation including calibration records, loop sheets, commissioning reports, and as-built information.

Health, Safety & Compliance:

  • Adhere strictly to all company, client, and regulatory health and safety standards.
  • Follow lockout/tagout procedures, permit-to-work guidelines, and hazardous area classification requirements to ensure a safe working environment.

Qualifications & Skills:

Education & Experience:

  • Technical certification or journeyman-level instrumentation training required.
  • Minimum of 2 years of progressive, hands-on field instrumentation experience in heavy industrial environments.

Technical Proficiency:

  • Comprehensive understanding of the principles and theory of operation for a wide range of instrumentation and control valves.
  • Strong knowledge of electrical circuits, electronics, and their application to instrumentation loops.
  • Ability to read and interpret P&IDs, wiring diagrams, control logic narratives, and vendor manuals with ease.

Communication & Teamwork:

  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills for effective collaboration with engineering, operations, and maintenance teams.
  • Highly organized, detail-oriented, and adaptable to changing priorities and project schedules.

Additional Requirements:

  • Valid driver's license and willingness to travel to project sites.
  • Ability to work extended hours or shifts as required by project milestones.

What We Offer:

  • Competitive compensation and comprehensive benefits package (benefits for long-term assignments).
  • Opportunities for continuous technical development and career growth.
  • A supportive, safety-focused work environment that values your expertise and contributions.

If you are a dedicated Construction & Commissioning Instrumentation Technician with a broad range of instrumentation knowledge and a commitment to excellence, we invite you to apply and join our dynamic team at RTF Project Services.

As this post is not for one specific project, but instead for different TA's and Projects throughout the year, this is more about establishing a channel in which to communicate with you, as well as getting a good understanding of what you are looking for and telling you what it is we are looking for in a candidate.
