Hire Verified Instrumentation & Controls Technicians
Instrumentation and controls technicians for plant maintenance, capital projects, and outage work. Loop calibration, HART, DCS and PLC support, with verified identity and short videos of the work before the first interview.
Also known as: I&C Technician, Instrument Technician, Controls Technician, Analyzer Technician, Loop Tech, Calibration Technician.
The real problem
I&C techs are the bottleneck on every capital project and turnaround, and the gap between someone who can calibrate a transmitter and someone who can actually loop check end-to-end is huge. Resumes will not surface that gap. The first failed loop check on day three of an outage will.
What a instrumentation & controls tech actually does on shift
Real task language so the post matches the work, and candidates self-filter before applying.
- Calibrate pressure, temperature, flow, and level transmitters with a HART communicator and documenting calibrator.
- Install and commission control valves, positioners, and final elements.
- Loop check from field device to DCS or PLC, document as-found and as-left.
- Troubleshoot 4-20 mA, HART, Foundation Fieldbus, and Profibus signal issues.
- Tune basic PID loops with the process engineer in the room.
- Maintain analyzer shelters, sample systems, and process gas chromatographs.

Proof-of-skill before the interview
Short clips of the work itself. You hear how a candidate thinks and see what they actually do, before you schedule a panel.
- Calibrate a smart transmitter on camera, HART communicator in hand, walk through zero and span.
- Loop check a flow loop end to end, field to DCS, with the as-left tag visible.
- Stroke a control valve and read the positioner output, explain what you'd flag to the process engineer.
- Troubleshoot a noisy 4-20 mA signal on camera, walk the audience through your decision tree.
