Lead SCADA Engineer – BESS

Sydney (with site travel) | Renewable Energy & Grid Projects

About the Role

A major battery storage rollout is underway across NSW, involving 12 new sites from 100MW/200MWh utility-scale systems to distributed 5MW projects. We are seeking a
Lead SCADA Engineer
to play a key role in integrating these projects into the grid.

This is a growth role, ideal for a senior SCADA/Control Systems Engineer who's ready to step into leadership.

You'll remain hands-on with integration and testing, but will also be responsible for guiding junior engineers, delegating work, and ensuring compliance with regulatory and grid requirements.

What You'll Do

  • Lead SCADA and control system integration across multiple BESS sites
  • Deliver and oversee FAT/SAT, commissioning, and site acceptance testing
  • Work with platforms including Schneider ADMS, Zenon, and common protocols (IEC 61850, DNP3, Modbus)
  • Coordinate with design, protection, and operations teams to ensure seamless integration
  • Provide technical guidance to junior engineers and subcontractors
  • Support regulatory compliance processes with AEMO and local DNSPs
  • Act as a key point of contact for internal stakeholders and project managers

What We're Looking For

  • Background in SCADA, control systems, automation, or substation integration
  • Hands-on experience with commissioning, protocols, and SCADA configuration
  • Exposure to BESS, renewables, or utility-scale energy projects
  • Comfortable delegating tasks and guiding less experienced engineers
  • Strong communicator – able to explain complex issues clearly to technical and non-technical stakeholders
  • Familiarity with Schneider ADMS or Zenon is highly regarded

Why This Role?

  • Be part of a landmark energy storage program supporting Australia's renewable transition
  • Opportunity to step up into a leadership role while staying close to the technical delivery
  • Join a collaborative, technically strong team where honesty and practical outcomes matter

If you're ready to take the next step in your career and lead the integration of cutting-edge BESS projects, we'd like to hear from you.
