SCADA Engineering Manager (m/f/d) – Utility Scale PV & BESS

Overview As SCADA Engineering Manager, you take technical ownership of SCADA, monitoring, plant control and communication systems for our utility-scale PV and BESS projects.

You act as the central technical interface between engineering, project teams, customers, grid operators and external suppliers such as Gantner or meteocontrol — ensuring these systems are correctly specified, integrated, tested and commissioned.

This role combines strong technical understanding with coordination and stakeholder management: you translate between grid operator requirements, customer expectations, supplier solutions and EPC project realities.

Most importantly, when a plant reaches commissioning, you ensure SCADA, PPC and communication systems work reliably — rather than becoming the project's last unresolved interface.

Your mission Technical ownership of SCADA, monitoring, plant control and communication systems Supplier management — coordinating SCADA/PPC providers (e. g.

Gantner, meteocontrol) and holding them accountable for correct specification, integration and delivery Acting as the central technical interface between engineering, project teams, customers, grid operators and suppliers Testing & commissioning oversight for SCADA, PPC and communication systems Engineering & project coordination across the full plant lifecycle Your profile Degree in electrical engineering, automation engineering, control engineering, mechatronics, computer engineering, or a comparable technical discipline Several years of professional experience in SCADA, industrial automation, power plant control, renewable energy, or grid integration Experience with utility-scale PV, BESS, substations, or other power generation assets highly desirable Good understanding of SCADA architectures, industrial communication networks, and plant control systems Familiarity with communication protocols such as Modbus TCP/RTU, IEC 60870-5-104, IEC 61850, OPC UA or comparable Understanding of active power, reactive power
