Control System Engineer – Site Services

#### **Location: Kuwait** #### **Openings: 1** **Position Overview:** Consyst is looking for a Control System Engineer to join its Site Services team for projects across Kuwait, Oman and other GCC countries. The role covers on\-site commissioning, maintenance, and troubleshooting of PLC, SCADA, and HMI\-based control systems across Rockwell, Siemens, and Schneider Electric platforms, along with associated networking, virtualization, and field instrumentation. The engineer will work directly at customer sites, supporting FAT/SAT activities, AMC engagements, and preparing the site documentation that keeps projects and service contracts running smoothly. **Responsibilities:** * Commission industrial automation systems on\-site, including PLCs, SCADA, HMIs, and field instruments. * Supervise on\-site activities: panel installation, cable laying, terminations, and equipment setup. * Perform I/O wiring verification and loop checks between PLCs and field devices. * Download, configure, and validate PLC and HMI/SCADA programs as per project specifications. * Execute interlock testing and logic validation as per functional design. * Configure and test communication protocols such as Modbus RTU, Modbus TCP, Profibus, Profinet, DNP3, IEC 61850, IEC 104, and MQTT. * Configure and maintain virtualization environments (virtual machines), NAS storage, remote desktop access, and thin/thick client setups for control system infrastructure. * Configure and troubleshoot network switches, including VLAN setup, port management, and network topologies such as DLR and PRP. * Interpret electrical wiring diagrams, P\&IDs, and loop drawings during commissioning and troubleshooting. * Work with field instrumentation such as PT, TT, DPT, control valves, SOVs, and MOVs, and verify their integration with the control system. * Coordinate with the Engineering team for resolution of site\-raised Technical Queries (TQs). * Front\-end with customers on\-site for technical discussions, progress updates, and issue resolution. * Assist in Factory Acceptance Tests (FAT) and lead Site Acceptance Tests (SAT) at site. * Handle Control System AMC tasks and PM activities: system inspections, preventive maintenance, and repairs. * Prepare and maintain site documentation including pre\-commissioning checklists, site survey reports, PM reports, commissioning plans and reports, SAT reports, and as\-built markups. * Follow permit\-to\-work (PTW) procedures and ensure compliance with safety regulations and quality standards during all commissioning and maintenance activities. **Must Have Requirements:** * Degree in Electrical \& Electronics, Electronics \& Instrumentation, Electronics \& Communication, or related field. * Minimum 4\+ years of experience in commissioning and maintenance of industrial automation/control systems in process intensive industries (Oil and Gas experience preferred). * Hands\-on experience with Rockwell ControlLogix PLC systems, Siemens S7\-1200/S7\-1500, and/or Schneider Electric M580/M340 platforms. * Proficiency with Aveva InTouch, Aveva Edge, System Platform, ArchestrA, WinCC, and FactoryTalk SCADA. * Ability to write and understand PLC logic in Ladder Logic (LD), Structured Text (ST), Function Block Diagram (FBD), and similar languages. * Understanding of software coding/scripting used in SCADA and PLC systems. * Working knowledge of virtualization (VMs), NAS, remote desktop, and thin/thick client environments. * Experience with network switch configuration (VLAN, port management) and understanding of network topologies such as DLR and PRP. * Knowledge of industrial communication protocols: Modbus RTU, Modbus TCP, Profibus, Profinet, IEC 61850, IEC 104, and MQTT. * Understanding of Serial (RS232/RS485\), Ethernet, and Fiber Optic (FO) networks. * Ability to read and interpret electrical wiring diagrams, P\&IDs, loop drawings, and relevant control system documents. * Understanding of field instrumentation: PT, TT, DPT, control valves, SOVs, and MOVs. * Working knowledge in condition monitoring systems, like CBM and VMS. * Working knowledge of hazardous area classification (ATEX/IECEx) and safety practices on O\&G sites. * Ability to work independently and collaboratively in cross\-functional teams. **Natural Talent \& Personality Fit:** Beyond skills and experience, the right candidate is someone who is naturally wired for this role: * Stays calm and thinks clearly under site pressure – failed loop checks, comm faults, or client escalations don’t derail them. * Takes ownership of project outcomes; spots problems early and acts without being prompted. * Has strong engineering instinct – can walk onto an unfamiliar panel and quickly form a working hypothesis. * Communicates with precision; translates complex site issues into clear briefings, TQs, and client reports. * Genuinely curious about how integrated systems work – reads beyond the immediate scope, asks the right questions. * Comfortable working in remote, multicultural, and demanding site environments for extended periods. **Why Join CONSYST:** Embark on an exciting journey with Consyst, where we prioritize the growth and collaboration of our team through: Talent Cultivation: We believe in nurturing your skills and providing opportunities for personal and professional development.
