Monitor construction progress remotely and via on site visits, support resolution of field issues, attend in person meetings with stakeholders, and provide on-site programming and field support during commissioning when required.
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.
