Background

About Caleb Cain

I’m a Senior Electrical Controls Engineer with over a decade of experience designing, commissioning, and leading safety-critical automation systems in oil & gas, chemical processing, and manufacturing environments. My expertise spans hazardous-area electrical design (NEC, ATEX, IECEx), functional safety, and system integration — including PLC/HMI/SCADA, instrumentation, and motor control systems. I’ve led multi-disciplinary teams delivering complex projects such as $65M offshore rig BOP control systems and high-uptime distillation plants. I’m passionate about building reliable, compliant, and maintainable systems that balance technical rigor with operational efficiency. Whether coordinating cross-functional teams or troubleshooting in the field, I thrive on turning complex engineering challenges into safe, robust solutions. Specialties: Electrical design, PLC/HMI programming, functional safety (HAZOP, LOPA, ESD), hazardous-area compliance, FAT/SAT leadership, commissioning, vendor/customer interface.
