Job Description

Scope

The SCADA Engineer is responsible for the design, development, and maintenance of Supervisory Control & Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems that monitor and control critical industrial processes. A key focus for this role is supporting municipal water and wastewater-treatment facilities, so prior experience with water / wastewater process control is highly desired. The engineer will collaborate with cross-functional teams to optimize plant operations, ensure regulatory compliance, and introduce new technologies that boost reliability, cybersecurity, and overall system performance.

Duties & Responsibilities

  • System Design & Development
  • Design, configure, and maintain SCADA architectures for water and wastewater plants (lift stations, pump stations, clarifiers, digesters, dechlorination skids, etc.).

  • Develop HMI / GUI screens that clearly represent process equipment such as influent pumps, aeration blowers, UV disinfection banks, sludge press lines, and chemical-feed skids.
  • Integrate SCADA platforms with Allen-Bradley PLCs / RTUs.
  • Oversee field installation, I / O check-out, loop calibration, and full functional testing at treatment plants and remote sites.
  • Validate process-control logic for flow pacing, PID aeration control, pump VFD ramping, and wet-well level sequencing.
  • Maintenance & Troubleshooting
  • Perform routine firmware upgrades, tag database modifications, and network-switch patching in accordance with AWWA and ISA / IEC 62443 guidance.

  • Diagnose sensor issues (pH, DO, ORP, turbidity), telemetry faults (cellular, fiber, licensed radio), and PLC / RTU failures, restoring systems to minimize plant downtime.
  • Documentation & Reporting
  • Produce P&IDs, network topologies, and control narratives; maintain redlines / as-builts.

  • Generate regulatory and operational reports (flow totals, chemical-feed rates, SCADA alarm histories) to support DEC / EPA compliance.
  • Coordinate with process, mechanical, and electrical engineers, integrators, and plant operators to ensure seamless system performance.
  • Train plant staff on alarm management, trending, and basic HMI navigation.
  • Compliance & Standards
  • Ensure all designs adhere to NYC DEP, NYS DEC, and EPA wastewater regulations, NFPA 820 electrical safety, and ISA 101 HMI, ISA 18.2 alarm-management standards.

  • Implement defense-in-depth cybersecurity measures (network segmentation, firewall rule-sets, VPN, multifactor authentication).
  • Qualifications

    Education

  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Control Systems, or related field (Master's preferred).
  • Required Experience

  • 4-7 years designing and supporting SCADA systems for water or wastewater-treatment plants or other continuous-process utilities.
  • Hands-on experience with AVEVA System Platform.
  • Field startup / commissioning of process instrumentation (flow meters, level transmitters, AUMA / SIPOS valve actuators, VFDs).
  • Technical Skills

  • Strong understanding of biological nutrient removal (BNR), aeration control, pump-station automation, and distributed telemetry networks.
  • Solid grasp of industrial protocols : Modbus TCP / RTU, DNP3, EtherNet / IP, Profibus / Profinet, OPC UA / DA, MQTT / Sparkplug-B.
  • Networking fundamentals : managed Ethernet switches, VLANs, cellular / fiber backhaul, virtual private networks, and fail-over redundancy.
  • Cyber-secure architecture design per ISA / IEC 62443 and AWWA G430 / G200 guidelines.
  • Soft Skills

  • Excellent analytical and troubleshooting ability; comfortable working in live plant environments.
  • Clear, concise communication with operators, consultants, and municipal stakeholders.
  • Ability to balance multiple projects, travel to facilities across the NYC metro area, and respond to off-hours emergencies when required.
  • Certifications (preferred)

  • ISA / IEC 62443 Cybersecurity Certificate, Certified SCADA Security Architect (CSSA), PE (Control Systems) licensure, or NICET Industrial Instrumentation.
  • Additional Information

  • Frequent travel to water and wastewater facilities, pump stations, and remote telemetry sites within the NYC region.
  • Must be able to climb stairs and ladders, work in confined-space or elevated areas, and adhere to site PPE requirements.
  • Role is fast-paced and may involve occasional night / weekend work during plant cut-overs or emergency call-outs.
  • Application Questions

  • Which of the 4 locations would be best for you to work at?
  • How many years of SCADA programming experience do you have?
