SCADA and Communications Technician apprenticeship
These technicians play a critical role in monitoring, maintaining and troubleshooting SCADA systems and the associated communications infrastructure. These systems are essential for the automated control and real-time monitoring of industrial processes such as water treatment plants, electrical grids, and manufacturing operations.
During your 4-year apprenticeship you will achieve a UEE30920 Certificate III in Electronics and Communications that will equip you with the knowledge and skills to effectively manage, maintain and secure SCADA systems and communication networks. This includes the principles of SCADA operation, hardware and software installation, network configuration, data management, cybersecurity measures, troubleshooting, and ensuring regulatory compliance.
Key responsibilities may include
System maintenance and upgrades
Regularly inspect, maintain, and update SCADA systems, performing software upgrades and replacing or repairing faulty hardware components like sensors, controllers, and communication devices.
Installation and configuration
Install and configure new SCADA equipment, ensuring proper integration with existing systems and setting up communication networks, including IP addresses, routers, and switches.
Monitoring and troubleshooting
Monitor SCADA systems and networks to detect and diagnose problems, troubleshoot, resolve software, hardware, and connectivity issues, and respond to alarms to prevent or mitigate operational disruptions.
Data management
Collect, analyse, and interpret SCADA data to ensure operational efficiency, maintain data integrity and accuracy, and generate reports to support decision-making.
Security management
Implement and manage cybersecurity measures, conduct regular security audits and vulnerability assessments, and update security protocols, firewalls, and antivirus software.
Subjects to focus on
Maths
Sound basic addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division are needed for tasks such as measuring cable lengths, calculating quantities of materials needed, or determining costs.
Literacy
Competent language and writing skills are needed to understand documents such as safe-work method statements, wiring rules, standards, and drawings, and to complete documentation requirements.
If you’ve already finished school
Completing a UEE22011 Certificate II in Electrotechnology (Career Start) is a great introduction to the industry. It’s a good idea to complete a CPCWHS1001 Prepare to work safely in the construction industry, also known in the Northern Territory as a White Card.
