Summary
Instrumentation and control engineer with 11 years in upstream oil and LNG in Oman and the UK North Sea. I specify field instruments, design DCS and safety instrumented systems to IEC 61511, and take projects from FEED through FAT, SAT and start-up. I've delivered control systems for 4,800 I/O and 62 SIFs with zero spurious trips in the first year of operation.

Tips for an Instrumentation & Control Engineer resume
- Put the hard requirements recruiters screen for in the top third: IEC 61511 / 61508, SIL determination & verification, PID tuning.
- List current credentials with the issuing body, e.g. TÜV Functional Safety Engineer (SIS), CompEx Ex01–Ex04.
- Give every recent role at least one measured result — for example i/o delivered.
- Match the job title in your headline to the posting where it is honest to do so.
- Run the built-in resume checker and paste the job description into the keyword match before you download.
