For the new project, there is currently a person in charge of automation, who focuses on the control room aspect and does not have a very in-depth understanding of the field instruments. What qualifications and knowledge are generally required of a field instrument engineer?
One must be familiar with the construction specifications for instrument design, installation, and acceptance, possess the ability to debug instruments, and have strong coordination and communication skills.
These days, tasks are generally divided into field operations, control, cost management, and procurement. What is needed are field instrument engineers who are familiar with the installation specifications and construction standards for field instruments, possess strong communication skills, and ideally have experience in building similar installations. Only in this way can they provide timely feedback to the design institute. The design institute tends to focus more on theoretical aspects and lacks understanding of how these instruments are used; indeed, some types of instruments present many problems. However, you also need to set specific requirements based on the salary and benefits you offer. As for the subsequent arrangements and the position itself, if you want to hire someone good, you need to consider all possible issues in advance. It’s not possible to just complete the setup and then quit; such people are irresponsible, leaving as soon as their task is done.
The selection and installation requirements for instruments, as well as project management experience; more importantly, the ability to analyze and resolve problems.
What company? Where? I have personnel.
We are in the alcohol industry; we haven’t been involved in this sector before. It seems that this industry doesn’t have very high requirements regarding instruments, and the design institutes aren’t responsible for this aspect either. Currently, there is someone in the factory who deals with instrument control, focusing mainly on system control (DCS); they don’t know much about the instruments used on site. It seems that the instruments on site are more prone to problems and are therefore more important. Thank you for your reply. Is the gauge usually located in device management?
