SCADA System Designer & Developer Expert
Join a pivotal team responsible for the real-time balance of a vast power perimeter, designing and developing solutions for a cutting-edge SCADA platform. You will ensure continuous grid stability and power balance by enabling real-time decision-making and critical interactions with key energy operators.
CONTEXT
Imagine a world where the flow of energy, the very lifeblood of our modern society, is precisely balanced, minute by minute, second by second. Our client, a major player in its sector, stands at the heart of this intricate dance, managing an expansive power perimeter where the continuous equilibrium between production and consumption is not just a goal, but an absolute imperative. This balance is maintained by a highly sophisticated, business-critical SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) system, operating tirelessly 24/7. They are now embarking on a transformative journey to build a new generation SCADA platform, a project that will redefine real-time energy management. You will be a crucial architect in this endeavor, designing and developing the solutions that ensure grid stability, empower critical decision-making for Power Dispatch and Energy Management teams, and facilitate seamless interaction with Transmission System Operators (TSOs). This is an opportunity to contribute to the very infrastructure that powers nations, in a role that demands expertise, precision, and a passion for high-stakes, real-time systems.
ACTIVITIES
- Design and develop robust, scalable, and high-performance solutions for a new SCADA platform based on AVEVA System Platform / OMI.
- Collaborate with Power Dispatch, Energy Management, and Transmission System Operators (TSOs) to understand their real-time operational needs and translate them into technical specifications.
- Implement functionalities that support real-time decision-making, ensuring the continuous balance of power production and consumption.
