Amar Halim Joins Apex Automation’s Engineering Department

By: LinkedIn Post Apex Automation

Join Apex in welcoming Amar Halim! Amar is joining their Engineering Department and will be based out of Calgary. With over 20 years of experience in the instrumentation and control world of Canada’s Oil & Gas industry, Amar brings a wealth of knowledge and a truly unique skillset to the Apex team.

Throughout his career, Amar has worked across a diverse range of sectors. From conventional gas plants to SAGD operations, heavy oil facilities, and liquefied natural gas (LNG) projects. His journey has taken him to some of the most remote and challenging locations in the country, including Zama, AB, Norman Wells, NWT, Cold Lake, AB, and Kitimat, BC.

As a Process Control Engineer, Amar has been directly involved in the full lifecycle of major oil and gas assets; from FEED and design to commissioning and startup. His experience spans Emerson DeltaV (PCS & SIS), Honeywell TDC3000, Yokogawa Centum VP, and numerous PLC systems, giving him an unmatched perspective on solving complex industrial automation challenges. For Amar, Integrity is the cornerstone of his work:

“Operations teams trust and rely on our work to keep them safe in critical conditions. Without integrity, even the most intelligent and ingenious solutions lose their weight.”

Amar is also passionate about the future of automation, especially Advanced Control and Multi-Variate Control (MVC). He sees a huge opportunity for Canada’s upstream Oil & Gas sector to leverage these powerful tools to improve safety, efficiency, and reliability.

Please join Apex in giving Amar a warm welcome to Apex Automation Ltd! They can’t wait to see how his technical expertise, commitment to safety, and vision for the future will help them continue delivering Intelligence, Ingenuity, and Integrity to their clients and communities.
