An Instrumentation Control Engineer designs and maintains systems used to measure and control industrial processes. You might work in industries such as oil and gas, manufacturing, or chemical processing. Instrumentation Control Engineers focus on the selection, installation, and calibration of instruments that monitor and control variables like pressure, temperature, and flow. You’ll ensure these systems operate efficiently and safely to optimise production processes.
Instrumentation Control Engineers play a critical role in maintaining process integrity and safety. You’ll need to have strong analytical skills and attention to detail. You’ll collaborate with other engineers and technicians to troubleshoot issues, ensuring that systems meet industry standards and perform reliably under various operating conditions.
There is one course available for people who want to become an Instrumentation Control Engineer.
Possible job outcomes:
The Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) (Instrumentation Control and Automation Engineering) combines electrical, electronic and computing disciplines with control engineering to develop intelligent automation systems. This course equips students with the expertise to automate monitoring, processing, and production across sectors like mining, oil and gas, and agriculture. Graduates will possess a strong foundation in electrical and electronic engineering, alongside specialist skills in advanced control and automation system design, ensuring their readiness for multidisciplinary projects..
Average duration: 4 years.
