The role
What a control and instrumentation engineer actually does, day to day.
As a Control and instrumentation engineer, you design the systems that control big industrial machines. You choose the sensors and controls that will work best, then watch over them to make sure everything does what it should. You work in factories, power plants, water treatment works and other places where lots of things need to run automatically and safely.
Your day involves planning new systems on a computer, testing them to make sure they work, and sometimes going out on site to help install and fix them. You work closely with other engineers and technicians, and you need to understand both the computers and the machinery. Safety is everything in this job - you check equipment carefully and make sure it meets all the rules and standards.
