In industrial measurement and control of processes, the role of control & instrumentation engineer is of key importance because unlike the role of instrumentation engineer it has also to oversee the duties related to control. Some of the key areas and tasks, which are covered by a control & instrumentation engineer, are as follows. 

These engineers must have in depth knowledge of the processes involved in operation and should have experience of many disciplines including procurement services, operating activities, and designing. These activities include evolving new systems. He has to keep the present systems in working condition and do modifications in them if necessary. He also has to facilitate his colleagues on different tasks whether they are from the instrumentation engineering domain, operations (as being the internal stakeholders) about the customers, suppliers, or other external stakeholders. Safety is also one of the key things to be kept in mind by him. 

Expertise as already told in purchasing activities are not only required for the job but also reflect about the true knowledge and ability of the engineer and the dependability the organization can have on him in terms of the reliability of the materials and  equipment being put to use. Computer software applications knowledge with the advancement of technology has become necessary for a control and instrument engineer alongside other important tasks, so the mastery of this domain is also a vital aspect of an instrument engineer’s arsenal.
