Role Overview

A Controls Engineer is needed to support Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS) validation and data quality initiatives within a large, highly regulated industrial environment. This role focuses on automated Digital Cause & Effect (DiCE) metrics population, Cause & Effect (C&E) documentation validation, and comprehensive control system tag verification across multiple data sources.

A formal degree is not required; however, candidates with this level of experience typically have some technical or engineering education.
Key Responsibilities
Digital Cause & Effect (DiCE) Metrics & Data Validation

• Populate and maintain automated DiCE metrics tables using established templates, rules, and validation criteria
• Clean, organize, and transform large datasets to ensure accurate and reliable metrics reporting
• Perform consistency and integrity checks across multiple data sources to verify alignment
• Track progress against defined validation milestones and provide regular status updates to project leadership

Cause & Effect (C&E) Documentation Review

• Perform detailed, tag-by-tag comparisons between C&E documentation and reference materials (e.g., instrument lists, I/O lists, logic narratives)
• Identify and document discrepancies such as:
  • Missing or extra tags
  • Naming inconsistencies
  • Duplicate records
  • Incorrect logic or association mappings
• Log findings in structured tracking tools with clear, repeatable evidence to support resolution

SIS & Controls Tag Validation

• Validate SIS and control system tags for completeness, accuracy, and consistency across documentation and control systems
• Execute repeatable validation checks across large document sets to support enterprise-scale validation efforts
• Escalate unresolved or complex discrepancies to senior SIS or controls engineers with concise summaries, impact assessments, and supporting documentation

Required Qualifications

• Strong Excel and data-centric skill set, particularly with large and complex datasets
• High attention to detail with the ability to perform repetitive validation tasks accurately and consistently
• Strong organizational skills with a structured approach to documentation and issue tracking
• Clear written communication skills for technical issue logging and progress reporting
• Prior exposure to SIS, controls engineering, DCS/PLC systems, or instrumentation environments is strongly preferred
