The Junior Safety Systems Engineer will support the design, implementation, testing, and maintenance of Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS), including Emergency Shutdown (ESD) and Fire & Gas Detection (F&G) systems. The role involves contributing to system engineering, loop design, SIL verification, and ensuring compliance with functional safety standards (IEC 61511/IEC 61508) under supervision.
Assist in creating and reviewing engineering deliverables such as Cause & Effect (C&E) matrices, instrument loop diagrams, safety narratives, and interlock logic.
Support the development of Safety Requirements Specifications (SRS) for safety instrumented functions (SIFs).
Work with safety PLCs (e.g., HIMA, Triconex, Siemens, Yokogawa ProSafe-RS) for configuration and testing.
Support SIL (Safety Integrity Level) determination and validation based on HAZOP/LOPA outcomes.
Assist in compiling documentation for SIL assessment and periodic validation.
Understand and implement IEC 61508, IEC 61511, and ISA S84 compliance requirements.
Participate in Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT) and Site Acceptance Testing (SAT) of safety systems.
Conduct loop checking, trip testing, and interlock verifications.
Provide support during commissioning, troubleshooting, and maintenance of SIS components.
Work with DCS/PLC teams to ensure correct interfacing of SIS and F&G with basic process control systems (BPCS).
Understand and apply communication protocols (Modbus, Profibus, HART, etc.) used in safety applications.
Maintain proper and timely documentation of engineering changes, test reports, and validation records.
Support QA/QC teams during audits and inspections.
Assist in maintaining up-to-date as-built drawings and loop folders.
Working knowledge of safety system architectures (1oo2, 2oo3, etc.).
Basic programming or configuration knowledge of safety PLCs is a plus.
Strong understanding of field instrumentation used in critical applications (pressure switches, solenoids, F&G detectors).
Ability to read and interpret P&IDs, C&E diagrams, and logic charts.
Excellent attention to detail, safety mindset, and communication skills.
Bachelor’s Degree or Diploma in Instrumentation, Electronics, Electrical, or Safety Engineering.
1–3 years of relevant experience in industrial safety systems or automation projects.
Exposure to commissioning, FAT/SAT, or safety lifecycle documentation is desirable.
Functional Safety (TÜV/Exida) training/certification is an added advantage.
