Job Description
SCADA Engineer Representative (Senior)- senior (281566)
Duration: 01-Apr-2026 - 31-Dec-2026
Offshore
Description:
The S&C Commissioning Engineer Representative is a critical execution role responsible for
ensuring that SCADA commissioning activities are delivered safely, on time, and to the
required technical and quality standards across both onshore and offshore environments.
The role sits at the intersection of engineering, site execution, and stakeholder coordination,
with direct impact on the successful energisation and handover of Substation Control
Systems and Metering.
The position requires a strong on-site presence, including offshore work during key
commissioning phases, where the ability to operate effectively in a high-pressure, multi-
contractor environment is essential. The individual is expected to take ownership of day-to-
day commissioning execution, ensuring that progress is maintained, risks are actively
managed, and technical integrity is upheld throughout.
A central part of the role is to lead and coordinate SCADA commissioning activities across
interfaces. This includes close collaboration with SCADA contractors, electrical
commissioning teams, and project stakeholders to ensure alignment with the overall
commissioning plan. The role is not limited to coordination but requires active supervision
and management of commissioning personnel and activities, ensuring that testing is
executed correctly, documented properly, and aligned with project requirements.
The S&C Commissioning Engineer Representative is responsible for maintaining a clear and
accurate overview of commissioning progress, providing structured reporting to the SCADA
Package Manager and Commissioning Manager. This includes highlighting deviations,
driving corrective actions, and ensuring that delays or quality issues are addressed
proactively. The role requires a high level of ownership in maintaining momentum on site and
removing execution barriers as they arise.
Quality assurance and compliance are core elements of the role. The individual ensures that
all commissioning activities are carried out in accordance with project HSE standards,
internal requirements, and applicable local legislation. This includes validating contractor
deliverables, approving checklists and test documentation, and ensuring full traceability
across commissioning activities. The role also involves driving the completion and closure of
snagging activities to ensure a clean and compliant handover.
From a planning perspective, the role contributes actively to the development and
maintenance of commissioning schedules and plans. This includes defining scope, timelines,
and QA/QC requirements for SCADA commissioning, as well as ensuring that the necessary
resources are available to execute the work. Where gaps or constraints are identified, the
role is expected to escalate and request additional support to maintain delivery
commitments.
The technical scope of the role includes commissioning of Substation Control Systems and
Metering, with active participation in FAT, SAT, and SIT activities. The individual plays a key
role in ensuring that systems are tested, validated, and integrated correctly, and that all
documentation supporting these activities is complete and approved.
The position carries a significant degree of responsibility and decision-making authority in
relation to commissioning execution. The individual is expected to initiate actions required to
maintain progress, propose changes where necessary, and ensure that the commissioning
strategy is effectively translated into site-level execution.
To succeed in this role, the candidate must bring a solid technical foundation combined with
proven experience in project execution or commissioning environments. A background at
B.Sc. level or equivalent is expected, along with relevant project management experience
and preferably certification such as IPMA or PMP. Just as important is the ability to lead in a
site-based environment, manage multiple stakeholders, and drive structured execution under
pressure.
Given the nature of the role, offshore work is a mandatory requirement. The candidate must
be willing and able to work offshore for extended periods and hold the necessary GWO and
safety certifications. The role requires both the physical readiness and the mindset to
operate in offshore conditions where planning, discipline, and decision-making have
immediate operational consequences.
Ultimately, this role is defined by execution impact. Success is measured by the ability to
deliver commissioning activities safely, efficiently, and without compromising quality, while
ensuring that all systems are ready for handover in line with project expectations.

PCs, mobile phones and iPads must always be up-to-date with the latest iOS release. The
owner must allow AirWatch security and management software for iPhones and
iPads to be installed. The app is mandatory on all mobile devices used by staff

to remove all apps and data. The IT Service Desk can only support privately owned
equipment in connection with AirWatch security and management software.
