• Create and maintain object templates, symbols, graphic libraries, dashboards, and reusable application components.
• Configure alarms, trends, equipment status indicators, KPIs, and operational displays for ROC operations.
• Support continuous improvement of ROC SCADA applications and monitoring tools.
• Maintain application documentation, design standards, and object libraries.
• Configure and maintain tag mappings between customer systems and ROC applications.
• Integrate operational data from PI System, OPC DA/UA, historians, DCS platforms, PLCs, and other industrial systems.
• Validate data quality, scaling, equipment status, alarm conditions, and operational functionality.
• Troubleshoot data communication and integration challenges, including commissioning and testing of new site integrations.
• Develop industrial operator graphics and displays for ROC operators, including recreating customer site operating displays within the ROC environment.
• Ensure graphics accurately reflect process conditions, equipment status, alarms, and critical operating information, and keep graphics current as customer systems change.
• Develop equipment-specific and site-specific visualizations and support onboarding of new generation, renewable energy, and battery storage assets into the ROC.
• Develop and maintain fleet-wide SCADA visualization standards for the EthosEnergy ROC, including reusable graphic templates, symbols, navigation frameworks, and object libraries.
• Establish standards for alarm presentation, color usage, equipment status indication, trends and historical data displays, screen layouts, navigation structures, and operator workflow consistency.
• Standardize visual representation for gas turbines, HRSGs, steam turbines, auxiliaries, renewable assets, and battery energy storage systems.
• Collaborate with ROC Operators and Controls Engineers to improve operator effectiveness and situational awareness, including governance and quality control for graphics deployments.
• Review customer control system architectures and available data sources, and participate in integration testing, commissioning, and validation.
• Align ROC displays with customer operational requirements and existing site practices, working with OT personnel and customer SMEs as needed.
• Support platform upgrades, migrations, and system enhancements, and contribute to continuous improvement initiatives supporting ROC operations.
