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

OverviewAs 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 missionTechnical ownership of SCADA, monitoring, plant control and communication systemsSupplier management — coordinating SCADA/PPC providers (e.g. Gantner, meteocontrol) and holding them accountable for correct specification, integration and deliveryActing as the central technical interface between engineering, project teams, customers, grid operators and suppliersTesting & commissioning oversight for SCADA, PPC and communication systemsEngineering & project coordination across the full plant lifecycleYour profileDegree in electrical engineering, automation engineering, control engineering, mechatronics, computer engineering, or a comparable technical disciplineSeveral years of professional experience in SCADA, industrial automation, power plant control, renewable energy, or grid integrationExperience with utility-scale PV, BESS, substations, or other power generation assets highly desirableGood understanding of SCADA architectures, industrial communication networks, and plant control systemsFamiliarity with communication protocols such as Modbus TCP/RTU, IEC 60870-5-104, IEC 61850, OPC UA or comparableUnderstanding of active power, reactive power, volta
