SCADA Engineer (F/M)

Mission

As a SCADA Engineer, you are the expert in the design of supervision and control systems for photovoltaic (PV) plants, Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS), and hybrid power plants developed, built, and operated by Amarenco.

You collaborate with the company's development, construction, and asset management teams, as well as external stakeholders, including suppliers, EPCs, technical advisors, etc., by communicating essential technical information in these areas of expertise.

Your responsibilities include, among others, the creation of technical documents applicable to SCADA systems and their ongoing review and continuous improvement to ensure the alignment of the company's SCADA technical standards with industry standards and the renewable energy market.

You are also promoting the continuous improvement of engineering practices in your area of expertise and evaluate new technologies and designs to optimize project costs and their LCOE.

• Undertake to know and respect the safety rules in force in the workplace.

• Qualify subcontractors (SCADA solution suppliers or integrators, control system suppliers, data analytics software providers, etc.) in collaboration with the Procurement Department.

• Collaborate with all stakeholders in the company to understand the project requirements and translate them into SCADA system specification features needed for operating PV plants, BESS, and hybrid power plants.

• Establish processes, protocols, and guidelines related to SCADA in line with industry and market standards and practices.

• Establish or oversee the creation of system architecture diagrams, general and detailed technical specifications, functional analyses, input/output signal lists, etc., necessary for the proper definition of SCADA systems.

• Collaborate with other internal stakeholders of the company to integrate complementary specification elements:
  • IT Department: specifications related to cybersecurity, including access rules, security protocols, response procedures, etc., in case of external attacks.
  • IT Department: specifications describing protocols, networks, interfaces, etc., for communication between on-site equipment (modems, routers, PLCs, HMIs, etc.) and Amarenco remote control room.
  • Electrical Engineering: specifications describing protocols, networks, interfaces, etc., for communication with on-site equipment (PV inverters and batteries) and electrical substations (SaS, RTU, aggregator boxes, etc.).
  • Electrical Engineering: specifications related to the integration of grid operator requirements, both in terms of modelling (EMTP, PSSE, PSCAD, etc.) and commissioning operations (compliance with grid codes).
  • Structural Engineering: specifications related to the integration of PV tracker controllers.
  • BESS Engineering: specifications related to the integration of communicating systems and equipment specific to BESS (BMU, PMS, EMS, etc.).
  • Asset Management Department: interface specifications for operation and reporting (alarms, performance, efficiencies, etc.) both at local (site) and remote (central control room) level.

• Establish or oversee the creation of construction contract for SCADA (general and specific technical specifications, supply limits, work scope, lists of contractual documents, etc.).

• Participate in the selection processes for SCADA solutions deployed on projects (writing technical documents, analysing offers, identifying deviations, requesting clarifications, preparing technical response files and associated CAPEX, etc.)

• Supervise SCADA technical studies conducted by EPCs and monitor the development and integration of automation/SCADA packages by integrators and subcontractors.

• Participate in the commissioning of strategic projects.

• Conduct technical due diligence on the SCADA scope during acquisition phases.

• Provide support to Asset Management teams in the advanced analysis of bugs.

• Conduct lessons learned sessions with internal stakeholders (General Management, Operations & Maintenance, Engineering, Development & Construction Project Managers, Purchasing, IT).

• Contribute to the development of a culture around SCADA and smart grids across the company.
  • Train internal teams on technical subjects related to SCADA and smart grids
  • Facilitate the induction of technical knowledge and best practices among teams.

• Ensure technology and economic watch of supervision systems, control systems (automation), data analytics software (big data, data mining), IT solutions (cloud hosting, virtualization).
