Senior Electrical Engineer SCADA

We are seeking a Senior SCADA Engineer with a strong electrical and panel-building background. This is a hands-on, client-facing senior engineering role supporting water/wastewater, utility, and critical infrastructure clients across the NYC region. You'll lead design and implementation of Allen-Bradley-based control systems, from panel layout through SCADA integration and commissioning.

 

Key Responsibilities

- Lead design, build, and commissioning of industrial control panels (UL 508A standards) for SCADA and process control applications.

- Develop and maintain PLC programs on Allen-Bradley platforms (ControlLogix, CompactLogix, Studio 5000, RSLogix 5000/500).

- Engineer electrical schematics, panel layouts, BOMs, and wiring diagrams using AutoCAD Electrical or equivalent.

- Integrate field instrumentation, VFDs, motor starters, network switches, and I/O with SCADA HMI platforms (AVEVA / Wonderware, FactoryTalk View, or Ignition).

- Conduct FAT, SAT, loop checks, and on-site commissioning at client facilities.

- Support OT network architecture, including industrial Ethernet, ICCP where applicable, and segmentation/cybersecurity best practices (NIST 800-82, IEC 62443 awareness).

- Mentor junior engineers and panel technicians; review designs and red-line drawings.

- Interface directly with client engineering, operations, and project management teams.

 

Required Qualifications

- M.S. in Electrical Engineering** (or closely related discipline).

- 10–12 years of progressive experience in industrial controls, SCADA, or panel engineering.

- Deep hands-on expertise with Allen-Bradley / Rockwell Automation** PLC and HMI platforms.

- Demonstrated panel-building experience to UL 508A; ability to read, mark up, and produce electrical schematics.

- Strong working knowledge of NEC, NFPA 70E, and grounding/bonding for control panels.

- Experience commissioning systems in live industrial environments (water/wastewater, power, manufacturing, or similar).

- Based in or willing to relocate to the NYC metro area; able to work on-site at client locations across the five boroughs and surrounding region.

 

Preferred Qualifications

- Experience with AVEVA / OSIsoft PI, Wonderware, or Ignition SCADA stacks.

- Familiarity with Dell VxRail or virtualized SCADA infrastructure.

- Palo Alto or comparable OT firewall exposure.

- PE license (NY) or EIT track toward PE.

- UL 508A MTR certification.

- Prior work on municipal water/wastewater SCADA modernization projects.
