- Provide support to the Interface Management Team to manage the physical Interfaces associated with the elements of the SCADA and communication systems.
- Identify and manage the logical interfaces between the systems ensuring that the data exchanges between the SCADA systems or with 3rd party systems are developed according to the project requirements.
- Develop the cross-project network and DMZ designs, identify the requirements associated with the different work packages and ensure that the communications between the local systems and with remote systems is developed according to the project requirements.
- Develop the cross-project overall FO network design, identify the requirements associated with the different work packages and coordinate the scope of the different suppliers.
- Ensure that the Project’s Cybersecurity requirements and measures are incorporated in the design of the SCADA and communication systems. Develop and maintain a SCADA system design basis that reflects the cross-project approach.
- Ensure SCADA system design work undertaken for the project is undertaken using appropriate methods and is confirmed to be in accordance with applicable standards (e.g. the Grid Code and the STC) and project requirements.
- Where required by the Senior Electrical Engineer, manage contracts or sections of contracts related to the design and delivery of SCADA equipment.
- Prepare and develop technical specifications for all work packages and undertake technical assessment of proposals.
- Provide specialist SCADA support of the company’s Projects where requested.
