• Perform maintenance, calibration, bump testing, loop checking and functional testing of Fire & Gas (F&G) field devices, including gas, flame, smoke and heat detectors, manual call points, beacons and sounders.
• Ensure F&G testing is performed using approved test equipment, certified gases and OEM procedures, while properly controlling safety-critical inhibits, bypasses and overrides.
• Maintain and troubleshoot instrument air systems, including compressors where assigned, dryers, receivers, filters, regulators, drains, headers, tubing and pneumatic components.
• Inspect and maintain instrument hook-ups, impulse lines, tubing, manifolds, fittings, supports and weather protection, ensuring correct materials, ratings and installation practices.
• Verify hazardous-area/Ex integrity, including cable glands, earthing, ingress protection, weatherproofing and field installation condition.
• Prepare work packs, calibration records, test sheets, inspection reports and CMMS/Work Order close-out documentation.
• Ensure safety-related instruments and loops are tested in accordance with approved procedures and that bypasses, overrides, inhibits and forces are properly cleared before return to service.
• Support commissioning, start-up, shutdown and reinstatement activities, including loop checks and functional testing.
• Identify recurring failures, poor hook-up conditions and unsuitable instrumentation and provide improvement recommendations and reliability initiatives.
• Coordinate with Operations, Electrical, Mechanical, Control Systems, HSE, vendors and OEMs to resolve technical and maintenance issues.
• Provide technical guidance to Instrument Technicians and junior personnel and ensure work is executed safely and in accordance with the procedures.
