We bring together technologies and industries, alongside the contributions of diverse individuals who are empowered by an intentional workplace culture, to solve problems better and faster.
Job Description We are looking for Control System Engineers with strong experience in Gas Turbine Controls development . The role requires expertise in control logic design, sequencing, interlocks, protection logic, testing, validation, and commissioning support for gas turbine applications.
Candidates should have strong understanding of gas turbine operation and processes along with hands-on experience in DCS, PLC, or turbine control platforms . Experience with GE Mark VIe is preferred. However, candidates with relevant gas turbine controls experience on other control platforms are welcome.
Roles & Responsibilities
- Design, develop, and modify control logic and sequencing for gas turbine control systems
- Develop interlocks, permissives, alarms, trips, and protection logic
- Work on control loops, logic testing, and functional validation
- Review control philosophy, P&IDs, signal lists, and other engineering documents
- Identify and resolve discrepancies before software implementation
- Support software testing, FAT, SAT, SWAT, and commissioning activities
- Support startup, commissioning, remote troubleshooting, and issue resolution in collaboration with engineering and site teams.
- Coordinate with customers, stakeholders, and internal engineering teams for requirements clarification and execution
We are known for our extraordinary people who make the impossible possible every day. Questians are driven by hunger, humility, and aspiration. We believe that our company culture is the key to our ability to make a true difference in every industry we reach. Our teams regularly invest time and dedicated effort into internal culture work, ensuring that all voices are heard.
