Fred Ackerman is a Principal Lead Instrument/Controls/Electrical Designer with nearly four decades of hands-on experience designing industrial power, controls, and instrumentation for projects ranging from LNG trains and large compressor stations to refinery power distribution buildings. He blends deep code knowledge (NEC, ISA, IEEE, NFPA, API) with practical skills in cable sizing, tray fills, hazardous area classification, MV/HV switchgear, UPS systems, and SCADA/PLC integration. Comfortable leading teams, mentoring designers, and coordinating vendor packages, Fred has repeatedly rescued stalled schedules and delivered complex, multidisciplinary electrical packages. He is highly proficient in AutoCAD and industrial design tools up through current releases and has translated that expertise into detailed conduit/cable routing and DeltaV migration work on live plants. A pragmatic problem-solver, he’s known for inventing test panels and practical autotransfer solutions to simplify installation and commissioning. Based in Greater Houston, he pairs field-tested judgment with institutional knowledge that helps owners and EPCs close gaps between drawings, vendors, and operations.
