Commissioning Instrumentation Supervisor

We are currently looking for a Commissioning Instrumentation Supervisor in the framework of the pre-commissioning and commissioning of a large-scale hydrogen production facility in the Netherlands. The assignment consists in leading all instrumentation-related pre-commissioning and commissioning activities on site, including instrument calibration, actuator testing, loop checks and support to the commissioning of associated equipment.

The position is site-based in the Netherlands, with occasional short business trips within Europe. On a daily basis, the Commissioning Instrumentation Specialist will report directly to the Commissioning Manager and work closely with the DCS, E&I, process and site commissioning teams. The main duties are the following: Lead all instrumentation-related pre-commissioning and commissioning activities on site.

Perform and supervise the calibration of field instrumentation, including pressure, temperature and other process instruments. Perform the initialization, testing and calibration of actuators and control valves. Execute and coordinate loop checks between field instrumentation, control systems and associated equipment.

Support the pre-commissioning and commissioning of rotating equipment from an instrumentation and control perspective. Verify instrument installation and configuration against approved project documentation and technical specifications. Identify discrepancies during testing and coordinate the implementation of corrective actions with the relevant engineering and site teams.

Read and interpret E&I documentation, including logic diagrams, wiring diagrams, loop diagrams and instrumentation hook-ups. Read and interpret relevant process and piping documentation, including P&IDs, isometrics and associated technical documents. Support pre-commissioning activities such as P&ID checks, blowing, flushing and inerting when instrumentation interfaces are involved.

Coordinate closely with the DCS team during loop testing, functional checks and control system integration. Support the commissioning of electrical shelters and associated E&I equipment when required. Ensure that all instrumentation checks and commissioning activities are performed in accordance with approved procedures, project requirements and applicable quality standards.

Complete and maintain all quality and commissioning documentation related to on-site instrumentation checks and tests. Monitor progress of instrumentation activities and provide clear reporting on completed works, outstanding issues and required actions. Contribute to the planning and coordination of commissioning activities.

Work autonomously while maintaining effective cooperation with the wider site and commissioning teams.
