- Install and calibrate field instrumentation (transmitters, analysers, sensors, control valves).

- Carry out bench calibrations, loop checks, testing, and cable verification.

- Maintain accurate calibration records, test reports, and instrument history files.

- Troubleshoot control systems and respond to alarms, restoring systems to full operational status.
