Leading role in responsibilities for managing the design, engineering and integration of the various SCADA and control systems, infrastructure and services associated with the project to ensure that the design is successfully completed and implemented for the project. Our client has recently been awarded with the seabed lease rights to develop a 1.5 GW project in the UK. The project is in the Development Phase with the aim to achieve all the necessary consents and complete the necessary surveys and engineering to enable the project to become operational before 2030. The position is an important role within this integrated JV project team.  The position is in London with flexibility on work from home or elsewhere with regular visits to our client’s London Office (Farringdon). Occasional business travel in UK and possibly further afield may be required for this post. Our client is looking for a SCADA and Control Systems Engineer to join the Engineering team. You will work as part of the wider project development team enabling the project definition supporting in a variety of topics associated with the works. The SCADA and Control Systems Engineer will play a key role in defining the optimal solution for SCADA and Control Systems engineering work associated with the project. This role with report to our client’s Head of Technical. The successful candidate will have strong project management skills and knowledge of the engineering design which is required for an offshore wind farm. Experience working in offshore wind is required.
