The Loop Testing Supervisor is responsible for managing and overseeing all instrumentation loop testing activities related to ground equipment systems. This includes ensuring high-quality execution of analog and digital signal validation, enforcing safety and documentation standards, managing testing teams, and serving as the primary interface between field technicians, engineers, and project leadership during pre-commissioning and commissioning phases.
Team Leadership & Oversight:
Supervise and coordinate activities of loop testing technicians across multiple work fronts; assign responsibilities, track progress, and provide technical support.
Testing Strategy & Planning:
Develop and implement loop testing plans, schedules, and procedures in coordination with project and engineering teams to support commissioning milestones.
Quality Assurance & Documentation:
Ensure all loop test records, redline drawings, and completion reports are accurate, complete, and meet engineering and quality standards.
Advanced Technical Support:
Serve as the escalation point for troubleshooting complex instrumentation or signal integrity issues.
Resource & Workflow Management:
Manage manpower allocation, tool and equipment readiness, and field logistics to maximize testing efficiency and minimize downtime.
Safety & Compliance:
Enforce strict adherence to electrical and instrumentation safety protocols; ensure compliance with regulatory and industry standards (ISA, IEC, NEC).
Interface with Stakeholders:
Communicate loop testing status, risks, and results to project managers, QA/QC, and control system engineers.
Continuous Improvement:
Identify and implement improvements in loop testing methodology, technician training, and documentation workflows.
Operational Readiness:
Ensure all control and monitoring loops for ground equipment are tested, verified, and ready for safe operational use.
Leadership & Coordination:
Provide strong technical and operational leadership to testing teams, ensuring timely execution of project goals.
Field-to-Engineering Bridge:
Act as the critical link between fieldwork and design engineering—translating real-world conditions into actionable feedback.
Standards & Accuracy:
Drive strict compliance with instrumentation and electrical testing standards to ensure reliable system performance.
