Provide hands-on technical expertise during design, specification, and selection phases.

7+ years of experience in instrumentation engineering for oil & gas refinery or midstream process facilities.
Strong knowledge of ISA standards and specifications.
Proven ability to interpret process data and translate it into detailed device specifications.
Extensive experience with Rosemount instrumentation preferred.
Background with large EPC firms or major process industry projects strongly preferred.
Hands-on, detail-oriented approach with excellent technical problem-solving skills.
Must be based in, or willing to relocate to, Sugar Land, TX, with occasional travel to Lake Charles, LA.
Why Join?
Critical role in high-visibility refinery/midstream projects.
Competitive compensation package ($170K–$180K).
Opportunity to work extensively with Rosemount devices on specialized and technically challenging projects.
Stable, long-term project pipeline with strong client backing.

Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP).
401(k) with employer matching.
Company-paid health insurance.
Sponsored health club membership.
