Control and Instrumentation Engineer
A control and instrumentation engineer (CI engineer) is responsible for designing, developing, installing, managing and/or maintaining equipment which is used to monitor and control engineering systems, machinery and processes.
The main objective of the work of CI engineers is to ensure that these systems and processes operate effectively, efficiently and safely. They usually work for the companies who manufacture and supply the equipment or for the companies who use it.
CI engineers need a thorough understanding of the operational processes of an organisation and have a truly multidisciplinary role, working closely with colleagues across a number of functions, including operations, purchasing and design.
