Job Description
The Anglian Water Strategic Pipeline Alliance (SPA) project currently involves the planning, design and construction of circa 320km of new strategic, large diameter, clean water interconnector pipelines and associated infrastructure across Anglian Water’s region. The SPA Alliance is also taking on responsibility for future interconnector pipelines, a further 260km of strategic interconnector pipelines and associated infrastructure.
The successful candidate will be expected to perform as a key member of the ECS team by developing the role described in this summary. Remote work is possible, but the candidate will be required to attend the Peterborough office once a week.
Responsibilities
The ECS is being developed and deployed in collaboration with the SPA Digital and Engineering teams, Equipment Suppliers and Anglian Water personnel. Success depends upon an effective and well‑managed Development Lifecycle and Configuration Management System (CMS). The CMS is currently implemented using SharePoint and Azure DevOps technologies.
* Development of Enterprise Control System “Advanced Applications” that implement system‑wide coordinated control of the SPA pipeline
* Documentation of development in parallel to design
* Comply with, and support development where needed, of standards, templates, libraries, and best‑practice guidance
* Develop knowledge‑transfer resources such as videos and manuals
* Drive a culture of continuous improvement in Health & Safety (H&S), ensuring consistent H&S standards are maintained
* Ensure completion of a full induction to H&S in accordance with company policies, procedures, and standards
Essential Knowledge, Skills, and Experience
* A full understanding of control system engineering, experience deploying and managing cloud applications on Microsoft Azure, and a methodical approach to software testing, system integration, and configuration management
* Development experience in the following key aspects:
o Industrial automation / process control / SCADA, ideally including experience with Inductive Automation’s Ignition and cyber‑security standard ISA99/IEC62443
o Good understanding of IP networking and routing protocols, including best practice design in IP‑enabled OT networks
o Good industrial UI practice such as ISA 101, ASM and EEMUA 205
o Good communication and team‑working skills
o Proven Windows/Azure/O365 experience
* Ability to solve problems and work effectively to tight deadlines
Desirable

o Central MQTT broker used to implement a Universal Namespace (UNS)
o Central management of configurations to support object‑oriented designs
* Application of ISA S88 and S95 principles to achieve modular, object‑oriented control and monitoring of industrial processes, focusing on:
o Modular control‑and‑equipment‑modules to achieve real‑time regulatory, sequential and coordinated control
o Recipe management including interface to production planning
o Real‑time optimisation
o Production and asset information management and analysis
* Current cyber‑security practices compliant with critical infrastructure installations
* DCS systems such as those offered by Emerson, ABB and Honeywell (other DCS systems are available!)
* Azure or other hyperscaler resource management and edge integration
Qualifications
* Development of complex applications in Python or similar
* Use of productivity tools to auto‑generate code or perform testing
* Flexibility and communication skills essential to working within a fast‑paced and innovative team
* Ability to develop and document design in parallel
* Good object‑oriented design practice
Desirable (additional)
* SQL design and programming
* Web UI development
* Programming of industrial control systems in IEC 1131 language
