The Control Systems Framework have an emerging requirement for a SCADA Engineer to support the TR&S project.
This is a 12-month contract role inside IR35 at market rates and based in Warrington on a hybrid basis.
***Only apply if you are a British Citizen and passport holder and not have worked outside the UK during the past 5 years. ***
You will require BPSS clearance for this role. Eligible for SC Clearance (if required)
ROLE RESPONSIBILITIES:
To design, develop, implement and test HMI/SCADA control systems, producing high-quality and comprehensive engineering design documentation such as:
Requirements capture and traceability documentation (URS/RTM)
System /Functional Design Specifications (SDD/FDS)
Mimic Specifications & Coding Standards
Detailed Software System Specifications (SSS)
Test Specifications (Module/Integration/System/Hardware)
Operation& Maintenance Manuals (O&M)
System Rebuild Documentation
I/O, Alarm & Message Schedules
Support with project Lifetime Quality Records
In addition to the above, the role shall support the Technical Lead Engineer and Project Manager in maintaining the planned delivery schedule, reporting technical issues, changes in scope and variations to the programmed activities where necessary.
Designing and implementing HMI/SCADA applications (such as Rockwell FactoryTalk View), producing standardised modules/objects, control faceplates and display screens in accordance with the design documentation and engineering standards.
Work closely with PLC software engineers to develop the control system architecture, supporting Network Architecture Diagram(s) and applicable interfacing documentation, to support the visualisation of the plant system via an integrated Cyber Secure SCADA system.
Undertake in-house testing of the PLC and SCADA integrated control system with the customer in a formal, controlled manner, ensuring change control and version management is maintained and recorded. Site acceptance testing (commissioning) may also be required following delivery and installation.
Support the generation of installation and commissioning documentation, Operator and Maintenance Manuals and plant personnel training material.
A technical understanding of engineering design drawings, mainly in relation to control system cubicles, enclosures, and interface panels, to assist in ascertaining constraints and design impacts from site visits, working in collaboration with the engineering teams and stakeholders to produce designs and SCADA software to a high-quality level.
EXPERIENCE & QUALIFICATIONS:

Proficient in the design and implementation of HMI/SCADA control systems, ideally fully converse with the Rockwell FactoryTalk View application.
Experience with ergonomic design and Human Factor considerations for Graphical User Interfaces.
Excellent understanding of SCADA programming, object-oriented scripting (C++, VBScript, Python, etc), PC/Server hardware and software, and communication protocols used in industrial (OT) control systems.
Experience with database/historian systems using SQL scripting.
Significant demonstrable SCADA experience in EC&I industry (preferably Nuclear)
Meticulous attention to detail to ensure accuracy, reliability and consistency in SCADA mimic screens, functional scripting, and system interfacing.
Experience in producing control system functional specifications, detailed design documentation and formal Test Specifications to a high-quality level.
Experience in network integration of industrial control systems, databases and third-party applications with SCADA applications.
Experience in undertaking formal and controlled testing and validation activities.
Excellent fault-finding and troubleshooting skills with the ability to analyse complex systems, identify problems, and implement effective solutions.
Ability to work as part of an Integrated Delivery Team or individually, working within sometimes restrictive time constraints.
Demonstrate excellent written and verbal communication skills.
