The Position
The Digital Solutions business is blazing a trail to reimagine the renewable energy space by delivering new and innovative solutions that are built on a solid foundation of data and analytics.Our clients will be able to optimise their assets, drive efficiency and gather new insights with their ability to confidently make data-driven decisions. The Edge software product line was developed by the business unit to enhance the output of renewable energy assets. It consists of software deployed to an industrial computer located at the site (., edge box) and communicates with the control systems of the assets to achieve its objectives. Upon contract finalization, the Product Delivery Team spearheads the project's hardware procurement, software configuration and deployment, and ensures ongoing support. Reporting to the Senior Manager – Product Delivery, you will have responsibility for configuring and deploying the Edge software into operating wind and solar farms. In this role, you will coordinate with Site Technicians to have the hardware installed and operating, and with OT Engineers to configure the network for remote communications. You will use the available cloud-based human-machine interface (HMI) to configure the software according to the project requirements and deploy it to the edge box.You will have responsibility for numerous projects that may be in different stages of their life cycle and may be across different product lines.
