The SCADA Lead also works closely withthe CMAS team to ensure data integrity, accurate event capture, and consistency between SCADA and central monitoring systems. Overall, the role enables quick fault visibility, supports remote diagnostics, and strengthens operational decision-making to maximise asset availability and generation.

The SCADA Lead operates within the O&M function to ensure continuous monitoring and accurate data flow from Solar and Wind assets to support real-time operational decisions. The role requires close coordination with OEMs, site teams, and the CMAS team to maintain SCADA availability and uphold data integrity across all monitoring layers. As the central point for SCADA-related operational issues, the role must balance system reliability, regulatory compliance, and fast turnaround for fault visibility.
