We are looking for an experienced and safety-oriented DCS Engineer to manage and optimize operations in a chemical process plant. The role involves monitoring Distributed Control Systems (DCS), handling hazardous chemicals, maintaining process parameters, and ensuring compliance with HSE and Zero Harm policies.
The ideal candidate will have hands-on experience in chemical plant automation, chlorination, bromination, and hydrogenation processes with a strong understanding of process safety and regulatory compliance.
Key Responsibilities
Operate and monitor the DCS (Distributed Control System) to control chemical process parameters such as flow, pressure, temperature, and utility usage.
Handle hazardous chemicals like Chlorine, Bromine, Phenol, and Toluene safely and efficiently.
Manage critical reaction processes including Chlorination, Bromination, and Hydrogenation while maintaining consistent product quality and process stability.
Troubleshoot and resolve plant operational issues in coordination with cross-functional teams.
Ensure strict adherence to safety norms, LOTO procedures, and HSE policies to achieve organizational safety objectives under the Zero Harm Policy.
Conduct Toolbox Trainings and safety awareness sessions for plant operators and shop-floor teams.
Maintain and record process parameters such as pH, density, temperature, load level, and ROPM, ensuring alignment with operational standards.
Supervise plant operators and guide them for smooth and efficient DCS-based process operations.
Conduct in-process quality checks and sample testing to verify product consistency.
Respond promptly to DCS alarms, process deviations, and emergency situations to mitigate operational risks.
Coordinate with other departments for raw material supply, product dispatch, maintenance permits, and utilities management.
Follow PPE Matrix, Behavior-Based Safety (BBS), and all other HSE rules and guidelines to ensure a safe working environment.
Skills & Competencies Required
In-depth knowledge of DCS operations (preferably Yokogawa, Honeywell, or Siemens).
Strong understanding of chemical process control and hazardous chemical handling.
Hands-on experience with reactor operations, process monitoring, and utility systems.
Analytical thinking and problem-solving skills to handle process deviations.
Excellent leadership, teamwork, and communication abilities.
Proficient in safety compliance, process troubleshooting, and continuous improvement initiatives.
Educational Qualification
Diploma / B.Sc in Chemical Engineering (Essential).
Postgraduate qualification (PG) or certifications in Process Safety / HSE / Chemical Plant Operations preferred.
