Derviş Yiğit

I am an Automation, Instrumentation, Control Systems, and Electrical Engineer with more than 12 years of international experience in EPC and industrial project environments. I have led and executed projects in water and wastewater treatment plants, energy generation and distribution facilities, cement plants, iron and steel production, oil and gas installations, glass manufacturing facilities, and industrial machinery systems.

My professional experience includes full lifecycle responsibility for integrated automation and electrical systems:

•Conceptual design and FEED studies

•Control system architecture development

•PLC/DCS software engineering

•Electrical power system design (LV/MV)

•Panel engineering (MCC, PLC, control panels)

•FAT, SAT, site supervision, and commissioning

•Performance optimization and troubleshooting

I have strong hands-on expertise in Siemens automation platforms including STEP 7 (Classic), TIA Portal, PCS 7 DCS, WinCC SCADA, and motion control applications. I have also implemented AVEVA SCADA systems in large-scale process automation projects. Additionally, I possess experience in Allen-Bradley PLC and DCS programming.

My electrical engineering background includes:

•EPLAN P8 and AutoCAD (2D/3D) electrical design

•Power distribution system design

•Short-circuit and protection coordination principles

•Siemens SIPROTEC protection relays

•Medium- and low-voltage switchgear systems

•Functional safety concepts and industrial compliance

I am experienced in leading multidisciplinary teams, coordinating engineering, installation, and commissioning activities under EPC contracts while ensuring compliance with IEC, IEEE, and project-specific standards. My focus is always on reliability, safety, maintainability, and long-term operational efficiency.
