Position Overview

The Lead DCS Commissioning Engineer is entrusted with overseeing all Distributed Control System commissioning efforts on behalf of the Owner’s Project Management Team across various project phases, including pre-commissioning, commissioning, startup, performance evaluation, reliability assessment, and final plant handover.

This role offers technical guidance and supervision over the EPC Contractor’s DCS-related commissioning work, guaranteeing that Emerson DCS systems are properly installed, configured, validated, integrated, and commissioned in line with project specs, OEM mandates, international guidelines, and the planned schedule.

The engineer collaborates closely with the EPC Consortium, Emerson, Mitsubishi Power, Owner’s Engineer, Operations, and cross-discipline commissioning teams to assure smooth system integration and operational readiness.

Technical Leadership

Direct all Owner-side DCS commissioning operations throughout the project duration.
Assess and track EPC commissioning protocols pertinent to DCS.
Confirm Emerson DCS architecture matches authorized design documentation.
Validate system configurations prior to initiating commissioning procedures.
Guarantee correct deployment of control philosophies alongside cause and effect logic.
Conduct DCS readiness evaluations before system energization and startup.
Review revisions in software and configuration amendments.
Manage changes meticulously through Management of Change protocols.

Commissioning Responsibilities

Lead and supervise key commissioning activities: DCS Factory Acceptance Test (FAT), Site Acceptance Test (SAT), loop checks, instrument verifications, logic, cause and effect, functional, sequence, and equipment interlock testing.
Coordinate alarm rationalization, plant mimic validation, control graphics, historical trends verification, operator and engineering workstation setups, redundancy and network testing.
Conduct control system robustness tests such as controller failover, power failure recovery, black start logic verification where applicable.

System Integration

Oversee integration of DCS with systems including gas and steam turbines, HRSG, electrical protection, generator controls, excitation and synchronization systems, breaker controls, plant balance systems, water treatment, fuel gas, cooling, firefighting, HVAC, SCADA, switchyard, PLCs, package units, vibration and condition monitoring systems.

Startup Support

Facilitate and supervise initial commissioning events such as first fire, first synchronization, initial loadings, combined cycle startups, performance evaluations, reliability runs, and commercial operations testing.
Provide real-time troubleshooting support during critical startup phases.

Project Coordination

Collaborate with commissioning, mechanical, electrical, and instrumentation engineers, EPC consortium, OEM partners, Owner’s Engineer, operations, HSE, quality, and construction teams to ensure project alignment.

Documentation and Compliance

Review and authorize commissioning procedures, tests, reports, as-built documentation, software backups, final dossiers, and configuration files.
Ensure strict adherence to safety protocols including permit to work, LOTO, electrical safety, functional safety, cybersecurity, and project HSE procedures.
Participate actively in risk assessments, toolbox talks, risk reviews, and simultaneous operations planning.
Maintain quality by following project and owner specifications, EPC contract requirements, IEC, ISA standards, and OEM best practices.

Qualifications and Experience

Bachelor’s degree in Electrical, Electronics, Instrumentation, Control Engineering, or related fields.
At least 12 years of commissioning experience in power generation with 8+ years specifically in DCS commissioning.
Completed a minimum of 3 full combined cycle gas turbine (CCGT) projects from pre-commissioning to commercial operation.
Mandatory expertise with Emerson Ovation DCS.
Experience working on large utility combined cycle plants exceeding 1900 MW capacity is required.
Professional exposure working within Owner, EPC, or OEM commissioning teams.

Technical Skills

Proficient with Emerson Ovation DCS and DCS configuration tools.
Skilled in control logic, cause & effect, sequence, functional testing, SAT, FAT, loop checks, and instrument commissioning.
Strong knowledge of PLC integration, SCADA interface management, turbine controls, alarm management, and network architectures.
Experienced with redundant controllers, industrial Ethernet, OPC communications, and Modbus; familiarity with IEC 61850 preferred.
Understanding cybersecurity principles for industrial control systems.

Technical Knowledge

In-depth knowledge of gas and steam turbine systems, HRSG and generator controls, plant startup philosophies, and protection systems.
Understanding of functional safety, control narratives, P&IDs, instrument indexes, logic diagrams, cause & effect matrices, and system architecture drawings.

Soft Skills

Proven leadership and team management abilities.
Excellent troubleshooting and analytical skills.
Effective communication and stakeholder engagement.
Ability to perform under commissioning pressures and mentor junior engineers.
Strong decision-making skills.

Preferred Certifications

Emerson Ovation Certified Engineer
ISA Certified Automation Professional (CAP)
TÜV Functional Safety Engineer (preferred)
Project Management Professional (PMP) (preferred)
Training in IEC 61511 / IEC 61508 standards

Key Performance Indicators
