Good to know: you can easily save this vacancy using the print button at the top of the page. After the closing date, this vacancy will be removed from our website. You are the go-to expert for the SCADA platforms that monitor and control our energy production, storage, trading and flexibility assets. You shape how the platform develops, from architecture choices and engineering standards to coaching other engineers. Your work keeps renewable energy and battery storage reliable and connected, which helps us move towards a climate-neutral energy system. Why choose Eneco? At Eneco we work towards one clear goal: being climate-neutral by 2035. Renewable energy and batteries only help us get there if we can see and steer them reliably, in real time. That is what our SCADA platforms make possible. In this role, you keep those mission-critical systems secure and stable while connecting new assets to them. You also work closely with engineers, OT specialists and business colleagues, share your knowledge, and help others grow. What You’ll Do You design, build, configure and maintain SCADA solutions for energy production and flexibility assets. You connect SCADA to automatic generation control (AGC), which adjusts output to match grid needs, and to energy management and distributed energy (EMS and DERMS) platforms. You build and maintain links with battery storage systems, field devices, grid operators and market interfaces. You define and improve interfaces with trading platforms, asset management systems, OT environments and data platforms. You lead design reviews and technical assessments, and you coach fellow SCADA engineers. You investigate major and recurring incidents, find the root cause and make sure the fix lasts.
