SCADA Engineer - Lead Professional
for section headings.
We need to use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose.
We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail.
We must not include boilerplate like EEO etc. Already removed.
We need to ensure we don't create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
Now let's extract content.
About the role: The first paragraph(s) before responsibilities. Let's capture:
"This Opportunity WSP is currently initiating a search for an experienced SCADA Engineer – Lead Professional for our Boise, ID office. Candidates for our offices in Clarkston, WA; Portland, OR; San Diego, CA; Denver, CO; Salt Lake City, UT; and Ft. Lauderdale, FL will also be considered. Be involved in projects with our Electrical Studies, SCADA, and Protection (ESSP) team and be part of a growing organization that meets our clients' objectives and solves their challenges. WSP brings global expertise in power delivery, power generation, and program management, anchored by the acquisition of POWER Engineers, Inc. TRC Companies have now joined WSP, deepening our power practice and expanding our energy advisory and intelligent grid services. We are partnering with clients to shape how energy systems evolve around the world, and we need your help."
That's prose; we can put in
.
Responsibilities: The paragraph starting "Provides technical leadership..." plus maybe the bullet list of responsibilities? Actually the list after "Your Impact" includes many items that could be responsibilities or skills. But we need to separate.
Let's parse "Your Impact" section: It says "Candidates for this role will have familiarity, experience, or expertise with some of the items listed below. A willingness to learn in areas where you do not have experience and to teach others in areas where you do have experience is essential to being successful on our team."
Then list:
- Leadership: Coordinate, review and approve electrical infrastructure design plans for mid-level and complex projects, ensuring data integrity and work is compliant with all applicable codes, ordinances, and regulations.
- Data Acquisition: Prepare points lists of all data to be transferred between control centers and controlled apparatus, assign and program data addressing and routing information, develop Human Machine Interface (HMI) screens, travel to project sites to test and commission data transfer schemes.
- Networking: Design and configure network and communication paths for Remote Terminal Units (RTUs), Data Concentrators, Intelligent Electronic Devices (IEDs), Human Machine Interfaces (HMIs), and other SCADA system equipment inside substations and facilities.
- Communications: Specify and design communication networks including data security and availability. Develop basic specifications for fiber optic, microwave, power line carrier, or radio communication paths; infrequent travel to project sites to troubleshoot and commission network and communication systems.
- Working knowledge or awareness of applicable industry SCADA practices outlined in IEEE, IEC, ANSI, CIGRE, or NERC standards and regulations for design work.
- Applicable network and communication protocols: DNP, Modbus, and IEC 61850 specified protocols Experience with legacy SCADA protocols a plus
- Applicable Logic and Control Platforms: SEL RTAC, NovaTech Orion, Eaton SMP
- Applicable Software: Wonderware, AcSELerator RTAC, NovaTech NCD/Inkscape IEC 61850 System Configuration Tool experience a plus Familiarity with SCADA/EMS/ADMS software a plus
- Logic and Control Systems: Develop, document, and implement logic and control schemes for remote and local operation of power system equipment, including Microgrid, Volt/VAR Control, Load Shedding, and other custom control applications. Develop programs on various platforms for implementation of these schemes and travel to project sites to test and commission control solutions.
- Exercise responsible and ethical decision-making regarding company funds, resources, and conduct, and adhere to WSP’s Code of Conduct and related policies and procedures.
- Perform additional responsibilities as required by business needs.
These are a mix of responsibilities and skills. The earlier responsibilities paragraph also listed some duties. We could combine all duties into Responsibilities section. The skills could go into Skills section.
But we need to avoid duplication. Let's decide: Responsibilities section will contain the duties: "Provides technical leadership and subject matter expertise for the design, engineering, and commissioning of utility and commercial power projects. Responsibilities include the development and commissioning of transmission and distribution substations, power distribution and regulation systems, renewable energy facilities, and protection and control systems. Guides project teams, resolves complex technical challenges, and ensures designs meet industry standards for quality, safety, and functionality." plus maybe the items that are action-oriented like "Coordinate, review and approve electrical infrastructure design plans..." etc. Those are responsibilities.
Skills section will contain technical competencies: knowledge of standards, protocols, platforms, software, etc.
Requirements (Required Qualifications) section: Bachelor’s Degree, 7-10 years experience, flexible schedule, occasional travel, safety track record.
Qualifications (Preferred Qualifications) section: Engineer license, Master’s Degree, consulting experience, mentoring/leadership experience.
Benefits section: as given.
Pay section: compensation ranges.
Now we need to format lists where appropriate.
For Responsibilities: we have a prose paragraph plus maybe a list of specific duties. Could combine into
- for each duty. Let's extract duties:
- Provides technical leadership and subject matter expertise for the design, engineering, and commissioning of utility and commercial power projects.
- Development and commissioning of transmission and distribution substations, power distribution and regulation systems, renewable energy facilities, and protection and control systems.
- Guides project teams.
- Resolves complex technical challenges.
- Ensures designs meet industry standards for quality, safety, and functionality.
- Coordinate, review and approve electrical infrastructure design plans for mid-level and complex projects, ensuring data integrity and work is compliant with all applicable codes, ordinances, and regulations.
