Automation Engineers design SCADA systems to address operational requirements & emerging trends including Smart Grid, Substation & Distribution Automation applications, Battery Energy Storage, and Microgrid controllers. As an Automation Engineer in our Electric Grid Infrastructure Services business unit you will: Engage in fast-paced client projects to plan, engineer, & design SCADA and communications systems. Develop communication block diagrams, panel layout/bill of material drawings, SCADA AC & DC schematics, fiber detail drawings, & network drawings. Provide reviews/design input of P&C drawings for SCADA system requirements. Develop points lists for data transferred between RTUs, IEDs, and master station connections. Develop configurations for Remote Terminal Units (RTUs) - (SEL RTAC, Novatech OrionLX, SMP Gateway, GE-D20, etc.) Develop configurations for programmable automation controllers (PACs) – (SEL-2440/2411, etc.) Program Human Machine Interface (HMI) applications (SEL Diagram Builder, Inkscape, Wonderware, etc.) Coordinate with relay settings engineers to develop/review communication port settings for protection relays, meters, & other IEDs. Develop network device configurations for switches, routers, & firewalls. (Cisco, Siemens Ruggedcomm, SEL, etc.) Perform troubleshooting of SCADA system network & communication systems (DNP, Modbus, SEL Protocol, IEC 61850, TCP/IP, UDP) remotely and onsite (if required). Develop SCADA system and Network documentation for projects. Develop automation tools to improve project efficiency (python, etc.) Stage, configure & test integrated systems designs, for interoperability & performance consistent with predictive models in our Protection, Automation & Telecommunication Laboratory. Ensure strict adherence to NERC standards for Critical Infrastructure Protection (CIP). Coordinate and provide guidance to other engineers, project managers, client personnel, and suppliers to ensure a complete and timely design. Develop your career via peer-learning through sharing of knowledge with other experienced engineers by way of Sargent & Lundy’s systems of process and associated “Communities of Practice.” Provide guidance as a mentor in the development of less experienced engineers. There is the potential for you to travel to client and vendor offices as needed. This role offers a hybrid work arrangement. You'll spend three days a week in the office, giving you the flexibility to work remotely for two days. Dependent upon your location, this opportunity offers a generous relocation package.
