You'll act as the go-to technical resource connecting customers, project leadership, SCADA engineering, and field crews, making sure everything from design docs to final deliverables holds up to scrutiny and stays on schedule.Core responsibilities:Drive technical delivery of SCADA and controls systems across the full project lifecycle, from concept through startup and handover.Act as the go-to engineering contact for clients, fielding technical questions as projects progress.Work closely with SCADA engineers, project leads, startup/commissioning crews, and other technical partners.Help build and review system architecture, technical documentation, equipment layouts, and field wiring diagrams.Vet drawings, design packages, quality documentation, and other materials headed to clients before they go out.Keep project records accurate, thorough, and aligned with what clients actually need.Join client check-ins to report on progress, flag risks, and walk through open items.Monitor engineering milestones and help keep deliverables on pace with the broader project schedule.Help diagnose and resolve technical snags that pop up during buildout and startup.Stay accountable for technical quality across a rotating slate of active projects.What we're looking for:Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Computer Science, or a related technical field.3+ years of relevant experience, ideally in large-scale renewable energy projects.Utility-scale solar/PV experience highly preferred, with an understanding of how projects move from design through commissioning.Background in SCADA, plant monitoring, industrial controls, or energy management platforms.Solid grasp of SCADA architecture, field hardware, communication networks, and related technical paperwork.Comfortable reading and evaluating electrical/controls drawings and system schematics.Track record supporting projects from design through buildout and startup.Strong sense of ownership and the ability to coordinate across engineering disciplines.Confident working directly with clients, contractors, and outside partners.Solid writing and documentation habits.Able to juggle multiple live projects and prioritize on the fly.This isn't a traditional PM role.
