Responsibilities

• Design and review SCADA architecture for BESS projects, including networking topology, server configuration, and communication protocols (Modbus TCP/RTU, DNP3, OPC UA)
 • Define and validate communication interfaces between BMS, PCS, MV skids, and remote/local control centers (SCADA ↔ CCC / dispatch)
 • Prepare and review technical specifications for SCADA systems and fiber optic networks
 • Evaluate and approve engineering designs from Client EPC contractors and third-party integrators, ensuring compliance with interoperability and communication protocols
 • Support supplier evaluation and RFQ/clarification processes; provide technical responses to vendor queries

• Lead and coordinate commissioning of SCADA and control systems on-site, including pre-commissioning checks (FAT/SAT support), signal verification, and interoperability testing
 • Train and guide site personnel and end users on SCADA operation; provide technical support during and after system startup
 • Coordinate escalation and resolution of SCADA-related technical issues across projects, including communication architecture deviations and signal integrity concerns
 • Develop and maintain technical documentation: logic diagrams, signal lists, SCADA specs, commissioning protocols, and as-built records

• Support regulatory compliance related to connection requirements with national coordinators and distributors (e.g., CEN, NTS&CS)
 • Coordinate with HQ Engineering, EPC teams, O&M operators, and equipment OEMs to resolve technical issues across the project lifecycle
 • Contribute to continuous improvement of SCADA standards and commissioning procedures based on lessons learned from executed projects
