## Description

We are seeking a Site Process & Instrumentation Engineer to join our team at Valvoline Global. As a Site Process & Instrumentation Engineer, you will be responsible for the technical integrity, reliability, performance, and continuous improvement of the site's lubricant blending, transfer, and filling processes.

**Key Responsibilities:**

- Provide technical ownership and support for lubricant blending and transfer processes, including SMB, DDU, base oil and additive storage, tank farm, transfer systems, pumps, valves, pipework, filtration, heating systems, manifolds, pigging/flushing systems, finished product storage, and transfer to filling lines and filling line processing.

- Analyze and improve blend accuracy, batch consistency, dosing accuracy, flow rates, cycle times, product losses, flush volumes, cross-contamination, rework, yield, throughput, and process stability.

- Investigate process abnormalities and develop technically supported corrective and preventive actions.

- Provide site technical ownership of process instrumentation and control systems associated with blending, storage, transfer, and filling operations.

- Maintain and optimize flow meters, load cells, weigh systems, radar level transmitters, pressure and temperature instruments, control valves, solenoids, position feedback devices, variable speed drives, PLC, HMI, and SCADA interfaces or data logging software and hardware, alarms, interlocks, and permissives.

- Ensure instrumentation is appropriately selected, installed, calibrated, verified, maintained, tested, and documented.

- Develop calibration and verification frequencies based on equipment criticality, risk, historical performance, and manufacturer requirements.

- Investigate discrepancies between inventory quantities, tank level readings, flow meter quantities, blend system quantities, filling quantities, and finished product volumes.

**Requirements:**

- Bachelor's degree in Instrumentation Engineering, Process Engineering, Chemical Engineering, or Electrical/Electronic Engineering with strong process control experience.

- Mechanical Engineering may also be considered where the candidate has substantial process instrumentation, automation, and liquid processing experience.

- 8+ years of demonstrated engineering experience in a manufacturing or process environment involving automated liquid processing systems.

- Experience with several of the following: liquid blending, batch manufacturing, chemical processing, lubricants, oil/fuel processing, bulk liquid storage, flow measurement, automated dosing, process instrumentation, PLC-controlled equipment, SCADA/HMI, and maintenance systems, tank farms, pumps, pumping systems, filling systems, and commissioning.

- Experience with Coriolis mass flow measurement, automated blending, and weighing systems is highly desirable.

**Competencies Desired:**

- Technical Competencies:

- Process control and instrumentation.

- Flow, mass, level, pressure, and temperature measurement.

- Calibration and measurement system verification.

- Process troubleshooting and data analysis.

- PLC or computer-based control systems and industrial automation.

- P&IDs and engineering documentation.

- Pumps, valves, tanks, and liquid transfer systems.

- Process safety and Management of Change.

- Root Cause Analysis and reliability engineering.

- Commissioning, validation, and performance testing.

- Behavioural Competencies:

- Strong analytical and structured problem-solving capability.

- High attention to detail and engineering discipline.

- Ability to challenge technical assumptions using evidence and data.

- Strong ownership and accountability.

- Practical, hands-on approach in a manufacturing environment.

- Ability to work effectively with Operations, Maintenance, Quality, and HSE teams.

- Clear written and verbal communication.

- Ability to manage contractors and specialist technical providers.

- Ability to prioritize competing engineering issues.
