Principal Engineer, SCADA Engineering (BESS)

We are seeking an experienced Principal Engineer to lead SCADA engineering for battery energy storage system (BESS) projects. This is a senior technical role with responsibility for defining robust, secure and scalable control and monitoring solutions across the full project lifecycle, from concept and detailed design through to commissioning and operational handover.

You will provide technical leadership for SCADA architecture, controls integration and communications across BESS assets, substations and wider energy management systems. Working closely with electrical, controls, protection, software and project delivery teams, you will ensure systems meet performance, availability, cybersecurity and regulatory requirements.

Key responsibilities

  • Own the technical design and engineering standards for BESS SCADA and control systems.
  • Develop functional specifications, control philosophies, network architectures, points lists and interface documentation.
  • Lead the integration of PLCs, RTUs, HMIs, protection systems, power conversion systems, meters and energy management platforms.
  • Review vendor designs, engineering deliverables, software and test documentation to ensure compliance with project requirements.
  • Define and oversee factory acceptance testing, site acceptance testing, commissioning and performance verification.
  • Support grid compliance, remote-control functionality, alarms, historian systems and operational data requirements.
  • Identify technical risks, resolve complex issues and provide guidance to engineers, contractors and project stakeholders.
  • Promote high standards of safety, quality, documentation and cybersecurity throughout delivery.

About you

You will have significant experience in SCADA, industrial automation or control systems engineering, ideally within utility-scale energy, renewables, substations or BESS environments. You should be confident working with industrial communications protocols such as IEC 61850, IEC 60870-5-104, Modbus TCP/IP and DNP3, together with control system networking and remote access technologies.

A degree or equivalent qualification in electrical engineering, control systems, automation or a related discipline is desirable. Experience with grid connection requirements, energy management systems, functional safety or industrial cybersecurity would be advantageous. Strong communication, stakeholder management and problem-solving skills are essential, alongside the ability to lead technically complex work in a fast-paced, project-driven environment.
