Job description

Powered by what’s next.

Help modernise the control systems behind Australia’s energy future.

Some of the biggest changes in Australia’s energy system are happening behind the scenes, in the control systems that keep increasingly complex networks operating.

At PSC, you’ll bring your SCADA and EMS expertise to challenging energy and transmission projects, working alongside experienced specialists, clients and technology partners. And as our work in NSW grows, you’ll have the opportunity to help grow the team around you, mentor others and shape PSC’s next phase of SCADA/EMS capability in Sydney.

What you’ll do

• Lead complex SCADA & EMS delivery
  Provide senior technical expertise across SCADA and EMS upgrades, modernisation and integration, from design and configuration through testing, commissioning and operational transition.
• Get hands‑on with the technology
  Apply your experience across EMS/SCADA configuration, network and database modelling, displays and HMIs, alarms, system interfaces, troubleshooting and technical testing.
• Solve integration challenges
  Work alongside clients, technology vendors and system integration partners to connect operational technology with the systems and applications needed to support modern electricity networks.
• Support testing & commissioning
  Contribute to activities including system integration testing, FAT, SAT, UAT, point‑to‑point testing, defect resolution and operational readiness.
• Grow capability around you
  Share your knowledge, mentor developing consultants and provide practical technical guidance. As PSC’s NSW work grows, you’ll have the opportunity to help strengthen our Sydney SCADA/EMS capability and influence how the team develops.
• Build trusted client relationships
  You’ll be more than a technical specialist. You’ll work directly with clients to understand their challenges, provide practical advice and identify where PSC can continue adding value.

What you’ll bring

You’ve probably spent a good part of your career working with SCADA or EMS systems and understand what it takes to keep complex power networks operating. Ideally, you’ll know GE e‑Terra, AspenTech/OSI or a similar EMS platform, and have worked across areas such as configuration, modelling, displays, databases, integration, testing or commissioning. You don’t need to be an expert in everything. What matters is that you’re technically capable, comfortable talking with clients and vendors, and happy to share what you know with the people around you. Experience with SQL, Python or PowerShell is useful, and we’re equally open to relevant qualifications or substantial hands‑on industry experience.

You don't need to tick every box. If you've built strong expertise around complex utility control systems and can see your experience transferring into this environment, we'd still like to hear from you.

Why PSC?

Powered by expertise. Growing through people.

At PSC, specialist expertise matters. You'll join a global team working on complex challenges across the energy industry, while having the autonomy to make meaningful technical decisions and influence how solutions are delivered.

For this role, there's another dimension. We're growing our SCADA/EMS capability in Sydney. You'll join with important client work already shaping the opportunity, while helping us develop the people and capability required for what's next.

Ready for what’s next?

If you're an experienced SCADA/EMS professional looking for the opportunity to combine hands‑on technical work, client influence and team growth, we'd like to hear from you.

PSC is committed to diversity and inclusion and is an equal opportunity employer.

Agency and third-party applications will not be considered for this role.
