SCADA Engineering Manager (m/f/d) – Utility Scale PV & BESS

Saarbrücken

Full-time

Permanent employee

Overview

As SCADA Engineering Manager, you take technical ownership of SCADA, monitoring, plant control and communication systems for our utility-scale PV and BESS projects. You act as the central technical interface between engineering, project teams, customers, grid operators and external suppliers such as Gantner or meteocontrol — ensuring these systems are correctly specified, integrated, tested and commissioned.

This role combines strong technical understanding with coordination and stakeholder management: you translate between grid operator requirements, customer expectations, supplier solutions and EPC project realities.

Most importantly, when a plant reaches commissioning, you ensure SCADA, PPC and communication systems work reliably — rather than becoming the project's last unresolved interface.

Your mission

Technical ownership of SCADA, monitoring, plant control and communication systems
Supplier management — coordinating SCADA/PPC providers (e.g. Gantner, meteocontrol) and holding them accountable for correct specification, integration and delivery

Engineering & project coordination across the full plant lifecycle

Your profile

Degree in electrical engineering, automation engineering, control engineering, mechatronics, computer engineering, or a comparable technical discipline
Several years of professional experience in SCADA, industrial automation, power plant control, renewable energy, or grid integration
Experience with utility-scale PV, BESS, substations, or other power generation assets highly desirable
Good understanding of SCADA architectures, industrial communication networks, and plant control systems
