Manager – SCADA
Department:
Renewable Energy
Employment Type:
Full Time, Permanent
Location:
Hyderabad
Reporting To:
Project Head
Role Overview
We are seeking a technically strong, experienced and hands‑on
SCADA Manager
to lead the design, engineering, implementation, commissioning and integration of SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) systems for our solar power projects. The role involves working closely with electrical and civil teams, procurement, project execution teams, O&M teams (if applicable), and vendors to ensure SCADA systems are delivered on time, meet technical and quality standards, and support reliable plant operation and monitoring.
Key Roles & Responsibilities
- SCADA System Design & Engineering
Lead design and architecture of SCADA systems for solar PV / power‑plant projects: define SCADA/RTU/PLC architecture, communication networks, layout of field devices (inverters, meters, sensors, weather stations, protection devices), and integration plans. Saur Energy+2Progressive+2
Prepare detailed SCADA design deliverables: signal‑lists, point mapping, IP‑addressing schemes, network topology, wiring diagrams, HMI/ dashboard specification, data‑logging & historian requirements, communication protocols (e.g. Modbus, IEC, etc.) and documentation for procurement and execution. Dohaj+2Keka+2Coordinate with other engineering disciplines (electrical, civil, grid‑connection) to ensure SCADA design aligns with overall project design and grid / EB‑line requirements.
- Procurement & Vendor / Contractor Management
Define SCADA scope of work, technical specifications for SCADA hardware and software (RTUs/PLCs, communication modules, servers/HMI, metering devices, sensors, cabling, etc.) for procurement.
Evaluate vendor offers, perform technical due diligence, and coordinate procurement of SCADA & related equipment.Oversee vendor/subcontractor delivery of SCADA scope — ensure compliance to design, quality standards, and timely delivery for installation / commissioning.
- Installation, Integration & Commissioning Oversight
Supervise installation, integration and commissioning of SCADA systems on site — RTUs/PLCs, field devices, networking, servers, HMI, communication channels, metering, protection & control systems. ib vogt+2Dohaj+2
Lead or coordinate commissioning tests: functional tests, communication & data acquisition verification, metering calibration, grid‑tie compliance, signal / data logging validation, HMI/dashboard functionality, remote monitoring setup. ib vogt+2Saur Energy+2Ensure system integration with other plant systems (inverters, transformers, grid‑interface, protection) is smooth and data/control flows work as per design.
- SCADA Quality, Standards, Compliance & Documentation
Define and enforce SCADA engineering standards, configuration control, documentation standards, naming conventions, signal mapping, network security practices.
Maintain comprehensive documentation: design drawings, configuration files, network diagrams, signal logs, commissioning reports, as‑built drawings, vendor handover documents, change logs, and compliance certificates.Ensure SCADA design and implementation meet regulatory or utility‑grid requirements, statutory approvals, and integration norms (especially for EB line / grid‑connected solar plants).
- Team Leadership & Stakeholder Coordination
Lead and mentor a team of SCADA / control‑systems engineers, site‑engineers, technicians and subcontractors. Assign responsibilities, review work, provide technical guidance, and ensure accountability.
Liaise with project management, electrical/civil teams, procurement, O&M (if applicable), external consultants / vendors / utility authorities to coordinate SCADA scope within overall project lifecycle.Act as main point of contact for SCADA-related matters within the project and represent SCADA function in project meetings, reviews, and decision points.
- Project Planning, Schedule & Budget Management
Prepare SCADA scope schedule aligned with overall project schedule — plan milestones for design, procurement, installation, commissioning and handover.
Manage SCADA budget — track procurement costs, vendor/subcontractor costs, labor and commissioning expenses; ensure compliance with project financial limits.Identify risks related to SCADA scope (delivery delays, technical issues, integration risks) and propose mitigation strategies to Project Head / Management.
- Operations Support & Handover (If O&M Scope Included)
In projects with O&M scope, support operations team by configuring remote monitoring, commissioning SCADA for operations, handing over SCADA documentation, ensuring data acquisition, monitoring dashboards and maintenance procedures are in place. AMEA Power+1Provide technical support for troubleshooting SCADA/communication issues during operations, coordinate with vendors or internal maintenance team for corrective measures.
Qualifications & Skills
Education:
B.E./B.Tech in Electrical / Electronics / Instrumentation / Power Systems / Control Systems (or equivalent).
Project Management Skills:
Resource planning, vendor & subcontractor management, scheduling, budgeting, risk management, multi‑discipline coordination.
