Responsibilities
- Provide specialized technical expertise in performance monitoring and control-system data integration for power generation assets using EtaPRO and SCADA environments, leveraging industrial communications standards (OPC, DNP3, Modbus) to support reliability and operational analytics
- Apply transformer diagnostics expertise by interpreting dissolved gas analysis (DGA) results and integrating DGA insights into EtaPRO for continuous asset health monitoring and early anomaly identification
- Perform advanced diagnostics and condition assessment using EtaPRO performance indicators, alerting logic, and industry standards (e.g., IEEE C57.104) to support predictive maintenance and reduce corrective maintenance risk
- Support regulatory and internal performance reporting by validating operational and asset data quality, reconciling plant KPIs, and enabling analytics consumption through approved enterprise reporting platforms (e.g., SAS, if applicable)
- Collaborate with I&C, electrical, and cybersecurity stakeholders to ensure secure, standardized industrial communications (OPC, DNP3, Modbus), maintain data interface integrity, and support high availability of monitoring/SCADA connectivity
- Provide EtaPRO subject-matter expertise by standardizing configurations, authoring technical guidelines, and training engineering/O&M users to ensure consistent monitoring practices across facilities
- Support delivery of operational insights through analytics visualization (e.g., Qlik Sense) by defining KPI requirements, validating data sources, and presenting asset performance trends for engineering and O&M decision-making
- Troubleshoot complex performance monitoring and SCADA data issues (signal quality, communications, historian alignment) and provide technical recommendations that improve plant operability, reliability, and data-driven maintenance decisions
Requirements
- Bachelor's Degree in Computer Engineering
- 5 years of experience supporting power plant operations through power system analysis, EtaPRO-based performance monitoring, SCADA data validation, and operational performance analytics for generation assets
- 5 years of experience using EtaPRO for power plant performance monitoring, diagnostics, and asset performance analysis in operational generation environments
- 5 years of experience with industrial communication protocols, including OPC, DNP3, and Modbus, within power generation and operational technology (OT) environments
- 5 years of experience supporting power plant operational performance and maintenance decision-making through analysis of real-time and historical operational data
- 4 years of experience in cybersecurity principles and best practices applicable to industrial control systems and operational technology (OT) environments in power generation facilities
- 4 years of experience supporting regulatory and internal performance reporting for power generation assets, including data validation, KPI reconciliation, and compliance-oriented analytics
- 4 years of experience working with SCADA systems and control-system operational data to support power plant monitoring, troubleshooting, and performance evaluation
