Job Description

We are looking for a Controls Engineer to work for a major O&G company in Houston, TX, for an initial 9-month contract likely to be extended. The Controls Engineer will support validation and data quality efforts for Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS) and control systems within a large, regulated industrial environment. The primary focus of this role is Digital Cause & Effect (DiCE) automated metrics table population, Cause & Effect (C&E) document tag comparison, and control system tag validation

Job Responsibility

  • Populate and maintain automated DiCE metrics tables using established templates and validation rules
  • Clean, organize, and transform large datasets to ensure accurate metrics reporting
  • Perform consistency checks to verify alignment across data sources
  • Track progress against defined validation milestones and report status to project leads
  • Execute tag-by-tag comparisons between Cause & Effect (C&E) documentation and reference sources (e.g., instrument lists, I/O lists, logic narratives)
  • Identify discrepancies including missing tags, naming mismatches, duplicate entries, or incorrect associations
  • Log and document findings in structured tracking tools with clear, repeatable evidence
  • Validate SIS and control system tags for completeness, accuracy, and consistency across documentation and systems
  • Support large-scale validation efforts by executing repeatable checks across multiple document sets
  • Escalate unresolved discrepancies to senior controls or SIS engineers with summarized impacts and supporting documentation

Requirements

  • Strong Excel and data-driven skill set, including working with large datasets
  • Ability to perform repetitive validation tasks accurately and consistently
  • Strong organizational and documentation skills
  • Clear written communication skills for issue logging and status reporting
  • Prior exposure to SIS, controls, DCS/PLC or instrumentation environments
