Designation: Automation & IoT Engineer (Water Treatment)
Key responsibilities:
* Design, implement, and maintain automation systems (SCADA, PLC, HMI) tailored for groundwater treatment plants, ensuring seamless integration with existing infrastructure.
* Program and configure PLC/SCADA systems for process automation of pumps, valves, filters,dosing systems, chemical treatment, backwashing, sludge handling, and other water treatment operations.
* Integrate IoT-based real-time monitoring solutions including flow meters, pressure transmitters,water level sensors, and water quality instruments (pH, turbidity, TDS, conductivity, chlorine
* residual, etc.).
* Develop and configure data acquisition systems (DAQ) to collect, process, and analyze operational parameters, ensuring availability of accurate real-time and historical data.
* Set up dashboards and cloud-based remote monitoring platforms for centralized control,reporting, and decision‑making across multiple plant sites.
* Ensure reliable industrial communication protocols (Modbus RTU/TCP, Profibus, OPC‑UA, MQTT,Ethernet/IP, LoRa, GPRS/4G/5G) for smooth data exchange between PLCs, IoT devices, and cloud servers.
* Conduct system testing, troubleshooting, diagnostics, and preventive maintenance of PLCs,SCADA servers, HMIs, sensors, actuators, and communication networks to minimize downtime.
* Collaborate with process engineers and plant operators to optimize plant performance through advanced control strategies (PID tuning, VFD integration, energy optimization, predictive
* maintenance).
* Design and implement cyber security measures to protect automation & IoT systems from unauthorized access, malware, and data breaches.
* Prepare and maintain technical documentation including control logic diagrams, wiring diagrams,SOPs, and system manuals.
* Coordinate with vendors and contractors for procurement, installation, and commissioning of automation hardware/software.
* Support plant expansion and upgradation projects by evaluating new automation technologies and IoT solutions.
* Train and mentor plant operators on SCADA/HMI usage, alarm handling, and IoT dashboards to improve operational efficiency.
* Generate periodic performance reports on plant automation, IoT monitoring, energy consumption and water quality compliance.
