We are seeking a Mid-Level Control Valve Engineer to support the design, configuration, maintenance, and performance optimization of control valves and actuator systems across water treatment facilities. This role requires hands-on technical expertise, cross-disciplinary collaboration with instrumentation and process teams, and responsibility for ensuring reliable valve operation in critical flow control applications.
Valve Configuration & Performance Engineering
Select, size, and specify control valves with appropriate actuation types (pneumatic, hydraulic, electric) based on process and system requirements.
Evaluate and optimize valve Cv, response times, fail-safe positions, and control signal compatibility.
Review and approve valve and actuator drawings, datasheets, and installation plans.
Maintenance & Troubleshooting Support
Lead or support preventive maintenance and performance testing of valve assemblies and actuators.
Troubleshoot control valve failures, signal inconsistencies, pressure drops, and leakage.
Coordinate repairs and calibrations in collaboration with maintenance and I&C teams.
Project & System Integration
Support control valve integration into SCADA and process automation systems.
Assist in commissioning new or retrofitted valve systems on capital and O&M projects.
Review P&IDs and control loop drawings to ensure proper installation and functionality.
Compliance & Documentation
Ensure valve systems comply with ANSI, ISA, AWWA, and plant-specific standards.
Maintain technical records, calibration logs, and valve performance history in CMMS.
Contribute to the development of valve-related SOPs and design standards.
Team Collaboration
Coordinate with mechanical, process, and controls engineers to align valve function with treatment goals.
Provide technical support and mentorship to junior engineers or technicians.
Serve as a subject matter contact for control valve upgrades and vendor coordination.
Technical control valve engineering (selection, sizing, and troubleshooting)
Multi-actuation system knowledge: pneumatic, hydraulic, electric
Field support during installation, commissioning, and diagnostics
Integration with control systems and process design
Education:
Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical, Mechatronics, Instrumentation, or Control Engineering
Experience:
3–6 years of experience in valve engineering or actuation systems, preferably in water, wastewater, or process plant environments
Experience working with control loops, actuators, and SCADA-linked valve systems
Skills:
Proficient in valve sizing, specification, and control signal interpretation (4-20 mA, digital, pneumatic signals)
Strong understanding of fluid systems and actuator technologies
Skilled in using CMMS, valve sizing software, and CAD tools
Excellent problem-solving, communication, and cross-team collaboration skills
