What is a SCADA integration engineer?

SCADA Integration Engineers are professionals who design, implement, and maintain Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems. They are responsible for integrating various hardware and software components to ensure seamless data collection, monitoring, and control of industrial processes. SCADA Integration Engineers work with PLCs, RTUs, HMIs, and network protocols to enable real-time system performance and reliability. Their expertise is crucial in industries such as energy, water treatment, manufacturing, and utilities where automation and remote monitoring are essential.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a SCADA integration engineer?

To thrive as a SCADA Integration Engineer, you need a solid background in electrical engineering, automation systems, and computer networking, often supported by a relevant engineering degree. Familiarity with SCADA platforms (like Wonderware, Ignition, or GE iFIX), PLC programming, and network protocols is typically required, along with certifications such as ISA or vendor-specific credentials. Strong problem-solving, attention to detail, and effective communication skills help manage complex integration projects and coordinate with diverse teams. These skills are critical to ensure reliable system performance, minimize downtime, and deliver seamless industrial automation solutions.

What are some typical challenges faced by SCADA integration engineers when working on multi-vendor system integration projects?

SCADA Integration Engineers often encounter challenges such as compatibility issues between hardware and software from different vendors, varying communication protocols, and inconsistent data formats. Overcoming these requires strong troubleshooting skills, a deep understanding of SCADA standards, and effective collaboration with both internal teams and external vendors. Proactively documenting integration processes and maintaining clear communication with stakeholders can help ensure smooth project delivery and system reliability.

Job description

In this role, we are seeking a Senior Substation SCADA & Communication Engineer to lead the design, implementation, and integration of advanced communication systems for substation automation, SCADA, and telemetry across transmission and distribution networks. This role plays a critical part in utility grid modernization - ensuring secure, reliable, and standards-compliant control infrastructure for substations, renewable generation facilities, and grid interconnection points.
You will serve as the technical lead on SCADA and communication engineering projects, supporting major utility and renewable energy clients nationwide. The ideal candidate will have deep experience with RTU and PLC configuration, industrial communication protocols, grid interconnection, and regulatory compliance (NERC/FERC/LGIA).
Your Responsibilities will Include:
System Design & Engineering
  • Lead the design and implementation of substation SCADA systems, including RTUs, HMIs, PLCs, data concentrators, I/O devices, and communication processors.
  • Develop network architectures and communication topologies (LAN/WAN, fiber, microwave, serial) for transmission substations, renewable plants, and control centers.
  • Engineer communication systems that utilize Modbus, DNP3, IEC 61850, Ethernet/IP, and other standard protocols.
  • Generate complete SCADA design packages, including:
    • SCADA block diagrams
    • Panel layout and equipment drawings
    • Schematics and wiring diagrams
    • Points lists and device mapping
    • Bill of Materials (BOM)
    • Settings files for RTUs/PLCs/switches/firewalls
    • Network diagrams and addressing plans

Project Execution & Commissioning
  • Configure and validate RTUs (e.g., SEL, GE/Harris, NovaTech), IEDs, HMIs, and automation controllers.
  • Perform system testing and field commissioning-including end-to-end SCADA point verification, communication diagnostics, and live troubleshooting.
  • Serve as the primary technical contact for utilities, grid operators (e.g., ISO/RTOs), and interconnection stakeholders during grid testing, energization, and regulatory compliance.
  • Support construction teams during buildout and assist with resolution of field integration issues.

Compliance & Cybersecurity
  • Ensure all SCADA and communication systems adhere to LGIA, utility interconnection, and NERC/FERC requirements.
  • Implement cybersecurity best practices and apply NERC CIP requirements during design and deployment of SCADA infrastructure.
  • Maintain comprehensive system documentation, including device configurations, change logs, test reports, and compliance evidence.
  • Leadership & Technical Guidance
  • Mentor junior engineers and act as technical lead on multi-disciplinary project teams.
  • Provide SCADA/communications technical input during proposal development and bid reviews.
  • Interface with internal protection, automation, substation physical, and IT cybersecurity teams to deliver integrated solutions.
  • Drive innovation through continuous improvement in tools, processes, and emerging technologies (AI-based diagnostics, digital twins, etc.).

Education & Years of Experience:
  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field (ABET-accredited).
  • 8+ years of experience in power system automation, SCADA integration, and substation communication system design.

To Thrive in This Role, You Will need:
  • Professional Engineer (PE) license preferred or the ability to obtain within a reasonable time.
  • Proven expertise in:
    • RTU/PLC/HMI configuration (e.g., SEL RTAC, GE D20, NovaTech Orion, Schneider PLCs)
    • SCADA protocols: DNP3 (serial and TCP/IP), Modbus, IEC 61850/GOOSE
    • Communication media: Fiber optics, microwave radio, serial, Ethernet
    • SCADA software platforms: SEL AcSELerator, GE Enervista, WinCC, Survalent, OSIsoft PI, Wonderware, etc.
  • Working knowledge of:
    • Substation protection & control (P&C) schemes and related data interfaces
    • NERC CIP compliance and substation cybersecurity principles
    • Network configuration, firewalls, and secure device access
  • Experience supporting grid interconnection projects, including familiarity with LGIA, telemetry validation, and control logic for renewable assets.
  • Familiarity with NERC, FERC, and utility interconnection requirements
  • Experience with substation communication system modeling tools (e.g., PathLoss, RadioSoft, or equivalent)
  • Experience with renewable energy SCADA systems, collector substations, and DERMS integration.
  • Experience with PI Historian, EMS/SCADA database management, and alarm modeling.
  • Prior utility consulting, EPC, or grid operator experience is strongly valued.
