Position Overview
We're looking for a SCADA Systems Engineer to design and deliver high‑quality supervisory control and visualisation systems for complex industrial applications. This role focuses on how systems are monitored, controlled, and understood – covering operator interfaces, data visualisation, alarm management, and system integration.
Responsibilities
- Own the operator interface and visualisation layer of safety‑critical systems
- Design and develop SCADA systems, including system architecture (client‑server / distributed systems) and communications (OPC UA/DA, Modbus, Ethernet/IP)
- Develop high‑quality HMI interfaces: intuitive screen design and navigation, process visualisation and mimic diagrams, consistent UI/UX standards for operator usability
- Configure and manage alarm systems (prioritisation, rationalisation, diagnostics)
- Configure and integrate SCADA/HMI platforms such as Rockwell FactoryTalk/FactoryTalk View, Schneider Citect/Vijeo Designer, Siemens WinCC, AVEVA/Wonderware
- Work closely with control systems engineers to integrate PLC data into SCADA systems
- Perform system configuration and integration, Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT), Customer Acceptance Testing (CAT), Site Acceptance Testing (SAT) and commissioning
- Produce high‑quality technical documentation (design specs, test docs, user manuals)
- Work end‑to‑end from design through to live commissioning
Qualifications
- Degree/HND in Electrical Engineering, Control Systems, or related discipline (or equivalent experience)
- Experience developing SCADA/HMI systems in industrial environments
- Experience with one or more SCADA platforms (e.g. FactoryTalk, Citect, WinCC, Wonderware/AVEVA, etc.)
- Understanding of industrial communications (OPC, Modbus, Ethernet/IP)
- Experience with alarm handling, diagnostics, and system monitoring
- Strong problem‑solving skills and attention to detail
- Ability to work collaboratively within multidisciplinary project teams
Benefits
- Hybrid working (typically 2–3 days per week in the office, depending on project needs)
- Flexible working hours to support work‑life balance
- UK expensed travel required at key project stages (e.g. testing and commissioning)
- Free single medical cover and digital GP service for UK employees
- Family‑friendly benefits such as enhanced parental leave pay and free membership of employee assistance and parental programmes
- Reimbursement towards relevant professional development and memberships
