SCADA Engineer

We are seeking a senior S&C Engineer Representative – SCADA Commissioning to support EPC Electrical Systems within SCADA. The purpose of the assignment is to provide independent supervision and coordination of SCADA commissioning activities, including FAT, SAT, SIT, and on-site execution, ensuring full compliance with client’s standards, project specifications, National Grid requirements, and applicable HSE rules and local legislation.

The consultant will assume day-to-day responsibility for managing and coordinating SCADA commissioning activities on site. This includes supervising contractors, ensuring quality and documentation of tests, signing off contractor checklists, and driving closure of snag lists. The consultant will be expected to draft and maintain the SCADA Commissioning Plan, defining scope, QA/QC requirements, and timelines, and to provide structured progress reporting to the SCADA Package Manager and Commissioning Manager.

The role requires close coordination with SCADA contractors, Electrical Commissioning Managers, and other relevant stakeholders to ensure alignment with the overall project commissioning plan.

The scope covers commissioning of communication networks, radio systems, telephone systems, Substation Control Systems (SCS), WTG SCADA and grid compliance, metering systems, and, where applicable, VTMS systems. The consultant must ensure that commissioning activities are executed in accordance with internal and external requirements, including project HSE rules and National Grid compliance obligations.

Requirements:

• The consultant must demonstrate familiarity with Ørsted’s commissioning governance, reporting structures, documentation standards, and EPC delivery model.
• The consultant must have substantial hands‑on experience with SCADA commissioning in large‑scale infrastructure or energy projects, including direct experience with Hitachi Micro
  
  SCADA and Substation Control Systems. In‑depth knowledge of National Grid requirements and grid compliance processes is essential, including practical experience ensuring that SCADA systems meet grid code obligations during commissioning. The consultant must be capable of managing these interfaces independently without requiring escalation for fundamental compliance matters.
• A minimum of five years of relevant experience is required, supported by a technical background at
  
  B.Sc. level or equivalent. Experience aligned with IPMA B/C, PMP, or equivalent project management frameworks is considered advantageous. Strong stakeholder management, structured documentation practices, and the ability to operate effectively in high‑pressure commissioning environments are expected.
