My long-term roadmap to Instrumentation & Control (I&C) Engineering — targeting EPC companies in Oil & Gas sector.
⚠️ Status: Early stage — this is a living document that grows as I progress
NOW 2027-2028 2029+
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Industrial Electrician → Automation Engineer → I&C Engineer
(SHW Gießerei, Germany) (Target role) (EPC / Oil & Gas)
My background combines:
- 10 years calibration (precision, metrology standards)
- Panel manufacturing (3000+ panels, electrical systems)
- Industrial maintenance (real-world troubleshooting)
I&C engineering is where this all connects — process control, instrumentation, and safety systems.
- Industrial electrical experience
- PLC basics (Siemens S7, TIA Portal)
- TIA Portal certification
- ISA CCST Level 1
- ISA CAP (Certified Automation Professional)
- Advanced PLC (Function Blocks, Libraries)
- HMI/SCADA design
- Industrial networks (Profinet, OPC-UA)
- TÜV Functional Safety Engineer (IEC 61511)
- DCS fundamentals
- SIS (Safety Instrumented Systems)
- P&ID advanced interpretation
- EPC project experience
EPC (Engineering, Procurement, Construction):
- Fluor, Technip, Wood, Worley
Automation/Instrumentation:
- Emerson, Honeywell, ABB, Yokogawa, Siemens
Bridge option (Turkish EPC):
- Tekfen Construction, Limak
