Commissioning Engineer for OEMDeltaV

• Responsible for planning executing and documenting commissioning qualification and start-up activities for OEM equipment and Emerson DeltaV control systems used in pharmaceutical manufacturing facilities. Ensures systems are delivered commissioned and handed over to operations meeting regulatory quality and safety requirements (cGMP FDA EMA). Works closely with engineering QA/sterility validation operations and vendors to achieve compliant safe and reliable plant start-up.
  
• This role supports validation regulatory compliance and continuous improvement initiatives critical to Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP).
  

• Commissioning and start-up activities for projects involving OEM packaged systems (skids pumps compressors mixers CIP/SIP skids filling and packaging equipment) and Emerson DeltaV DCS in pharmaceutical facilities.
  
• Develop and execute commissioning plans pre-commissioning checklists FAT/SAT procedures Installation Qualification (IQ) Operational Qualification (OQ) and support Performance Qualification (PQ) activities as required.
  
• Perform loop checks logic verification interlock and interlock sequence testing failover and redundancy tests alarm verification calibration verification and HMI validation.
  
• Inspect and verify I/O wiring marshalling cabinet terminations and cabinet power-ups; ensure documentation (as-built drawings cable schedules I/O lists) is maintained and controlled.
  
• Ensure instrument calibration status calibration labels and calibration records are in place before critical commissioning activities; coordinate with Metrology/Calibration teams.
  
• Configure tune and troubleshoot DeltaV controllers I/O control modules operator displays alarm management and historian interfaces to meet process and regulatory requirements.
  
• Participate in the execution of FATs and SATs for DeltaV systems and associated OEM equipment; prepare and review test protocols and detailed test records. Document results manage deviations and non-conformances and support CAPA activities.
  
• Troubleshoot instrumentation control system faults and process issues during commissioning and early production; propose corrective and preventive actions and support root cause analysis.
  
• Ensure communications and data integrity between DeltaV and field devices (HART Foundation Field bus Modbus) PLCs MES SCADA and LIMS. Validate data flows and timestamps to support data integrity requirements.
  
• Commission and validate control strategies PID tuning recipe/batch control modules sequential function charts and advanced control modules ensuring deterministic behaviour across batch runs.
  
• Collaborate with Quality/Validation teams to produce traceable auditable commissioning and qualification documentation (protocols URS DQ IQ/OQ traceability matrices CSV artefacts).
  
• Verify proper implementation of alarm rationalisation alarm shelving policies and operator interventions consistent with pharmaceutical safety and quality practices.
  
• Coordinate with OEM vendors system integrators QA/Validation utilities and operations to resolve issues and ensure compliant handover.
  
• Support data integrity electronic records and signatures (ERES) audit trails and 21 CFR Part 11 expectations for computerised systems.
  
• Provide guidance for operators and maintenance personnel on control strategies alarms emergency procedures and batch operations; prepare operating procedures and controlled work instructions.
  
• Participate in risk assessments (e.g. FMEA) change control design reviews and validation review boards as needed.
  
• Support post-commissioning activities including performance optimization handover packages warranty claims and lessons learned sessions.
  
• Ensure Automation compliance with Global Policies Procedures and Guidelines regulatory requirements and execute current Good manufacturing Practices (cGMP) in the performance of day to-day activities and all applicable job functions.
