1. Comprehensive C&I System Design Proficiency: Knowledge and experience in the systematic design lifecycle of C&I systems including specification, design, assessment, verification, testing, installation, commissioning and maintenance of safety or process critical C&I systems.
2. Adherence to Industry Standards: Knowledge and experience of relevant industry standards for systems important to safety (e.g. IEC 61508, IEC 61226, IEC 61513).
3. Application of Advanced System Methodologies: Knowledge and experience of applying systems engineering methodologies including Model Based Systems Engineering to C&I systems.
4. Effective Stakeholder Communication: Experience in taking information, understanding, and presenting it in an appropriate and compelling format, which includes formal communications to the appropriate stakeholders.
5. Technical Oversight Proficiency: The ability to provide technical oversight of the work carried out by supply chain partners.
Training & Qualification Requirements
1. Hold a degree level qualification in one or more of the engineering disciplines of electrical, electronics, instrumentation, control systems, mechatronics, physics or computer science.
