Where you fit in
The factories at Shell Pernis are controlled and secured with automation systems. As a Control Application Engineer, you are responsible for the availability, now and in the future, of the control and safeguarding systems within one of the production units at Shell Pernis. These systems are the tools of the Operators. On the one hand, these systems work with the instrumentation in the field (measuring instruments, valves, etc.) and on the other hand, these systems are connected to the office network for data analyses. For the control, we mainly use distributed control systems (DCS) from Honeywell, Schneider, Emerson and Yokogawa. In addition, various safeguarding systems are in use from Honeywell and HIMA. We also use an Oil Movement System to manage the movement of product across our site. Technically, the Control Application Engineer knows how to deal with these systems and is the first point of contact for the operators in case of problems or questions.
Within the Refinery Water treatment and Hycon (RWH) department, you will work closely with the Process Control Technologist and have a particular focus on the control and safeguarding applications for the HYCON and SDA factories. As a team, you make changes to the applications that are part of projects or plant changes, where you also collaborate with other disciplines and align the risks with operations. You also carry out the most common system maintenance and you often work together with the other specialist services or with the system supplier. Within the department, we also have separate teams for projects and system/network maintenance. With these teams, you mainly work together when things become too complex or very large.
In the long term, you can broaden your horizon at another Production Unit, further developing yourself or specializing in one of the central teams in the department or grow into adjacent fields such as process control. This ultimately depends on your own wishes, your abilities, and the possibilities.

What we need from you

We also hope you possess the following skills and experience:
