Instrumentation Engineer careers
An Instrumentation Engineer designs, installs, and maintains instruments and control systems used in industrial settings. You might work in sectors such as manufacturing, oil and gas, or utilities. Instrumentation Engineers focus on ensuring that systems operate efficiently and safely. You’ll calibrate instruments, troubleshoot issues, and develop solutions to optimise performance.
Instrumentation Engineers play a critical role in maintaining the reliability of industrial processes. You’ll need strong technical skills, attention to detail, and the ability to work with complex systems. You’ll liaise with other engineers, technicians, and operators to ensure that instrumentation meets operational requirements and adheres to industry standards.
