Requirements Gathering & Technical Documentation (Primary Focus)

• Lead requirements gathering sessions with stakeholders, engineers, and end-users to define functional and technical specifications.
• Develop comprehensive technical documentation, including SCADA architecture, IoT sensor integration, and system communication workflows.
• Translate business objectives into structured system requirements, ensuring compliance with industry standards (IEC 61850, IEEE 2030.5, OPC UA, MQTT, Modbus, DNP3).
• Document SCADA & IoT system interactions, security considerations, and performance metrics.

Project Management & Execution

• Oversee the planning, execution, and monitoring of SCADA & IoT energy projects.
• Manage project timelines, risk assessments, and stakeholder expectations.
• Ensure alignment between IoT devices, SCADA platforms, cloud analytics, and industrial automation systems.
• Work with control system engineers, cybersecurity teams, and developers to optimize system performance.
• Ensure compliance with energy regulatory requirements and smart grid standards.

Stakeholder Collaboration & Communication

• Act as the bridge between technical teams and business stakeholders, ensuring clear and structured communication.
• Provide technical and business documentation, including functional requirements, risk assessments, and process flowcharts.
• Conduct workshops and stakeholder meetings to refine system requirements and project scope.

Required Qualifications

• 5+ years of experience in SCADA, IoT, or industrial automation project management.
• Proven expertise in requirements gathering, stakeholder communication, and technical documentation.
• Knowledge of SCADA platforms (Ignition, AVEVA/Wonderware, GE iFIX, EcoStruxure, or similar).
• Familiarity with industrial communication protocols (Modbus, OPC UA, MQTT, DNP3, IEC 61850).
• Understanding of SCADA-PLC interactions, but PLC programming is not required.
• Experience working on IoT solutions for smart grids, predictive maintenance, or remote monitoring.
• Ability to write functional requirements, detailed technical specifications, and system integration documents.
• Strong problem-solving, leadership, and collaboration skills.
• PMP, PRINCE2, or Agile certification is a plus.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with renewable energy SCADA & IoT applications.
• Familiarity with cybersecurity frameworks for SCADA/IoT systems.
• Understanding of cloud-based SCADA and IoT analytics (AWS IoT, Azure IoT, Google Cloud IoT).
