Coordinate with cross functional teams to ensure SCADA deliverables align with overall project requirements and critical path schedules.

Track design schedules, communicate status and risks, and ensure critical dates are met on time.

Maintain system specifications and configurations for SCADA, power plant controllers, RTUs, and IT/OT equipment to improve reliable operation and maintenance.

Oversee delivery of clean, complete as-built turnover packages (schematics, bills of materials, configuration/programming settings) to Operations for long-term maintenance and reliability.

Support technical due diligence with independent engineers and project partners by providing accurate, technical input and evidence.

Stay current on technology and best practices through training, conferences, and continuous learning.

Take on additional responsibilities as assigned by leadership to support team priorities and business needs.

Ability to coordinate and manage multiple concurrent projects.

Considerable knowledge in computer and server operation.

Strong project management skills.

Strong oral and written communication skills and strong interpersonal skills.
