The role involves defining technical specifications, managing contractors through design and build phases, and ensuring submitted designs align with project requirements, industry standards, and Elgin's cost reduction objectives.
 
This role is critical in driving best value across SCADA systems, delivering high-quality solutions while optimising costs and improving system reliability.

  • Lead cost optimisation and best value through system standardisation, design reviews, and identification of innovative, cost-effective solutions.
  • Collaborate with contractors, external engineers, and internal project teams to ensure systems meet utility, cybersecurity, and off-taker requirements.
  • Ensure compliance with cyber-security standards for industrial control systems 
  • Validate technical documentation, including functional design specifications, communication protocols, and IP address lists.
  • Review and challenge SCADA/control designs to identify opportunities for efficiency improvements and CAPEX/OPEX reduction.
  • Support testing processes (FAT/SAT) and oversee system implementation, ensuring performance aligns with specifications.
  • Troubleshoot technical issues during design review, construction, and commissioning phases.
  • Work with protocols including DNP3, IEC61850, Modbus, and OPC to ensure seamless system integration.
  • Collaborate with Asset Management, Grid, and Operational Technology teams to optimise real-time performance monitoring and reporting.
  • Stay current with advancements in SCADA, control systems, and cost-effective technologies for renewable projects.
  • Mentor junior engineers, providing technical oversight and ensuring consistency across projects.
Your profile

What you will need:     

  • Bachelor's Degree in Electrical, Electronic, or related Engineering discipline.
  • Minimum 5 years of experience implementing and maintaining SCADA and control systems.
  • Proven experience in setting technical specifications, managing design and build contractors, and overseeing project timelines and deliverables.
  • Experience commissioning SCADA systems, troubleshooting, and managing vendors during construction and commissioning phases.
  • Proficiency with RTU, PLC, DAQ (Data Acquisition), and IED (Intelligent Electronic Device) technologies.
  • Expertise in communication protocols (DNP3, IEC61850, Modbus, OPC).
  • Knowledge of protective systems, substations, and electrical infrastructure is desirable.
  • Strong communication and interpersonal skills with the ability to collaborate across teams.
  • Experience commissioning SCADA systems and addressing technical challenges on site.
