A key focus for this role is supporting municipal water and wastewater-treatment facilities , so prior experience with water/wastewater process control is highly desired. The engineer will collaborate with cross-functional teams to optimize plant operations, ensure regulatory compliance, and introduce new technologies that boost reliability, cybersecurity, and overall system performance. Duties & Responsibilities Area Key Tasks System Design & Development • Design, configure, and maintain SCADA architectures for water & wastewater plants (lift stations, pump stations, clarifiers, digesters, dechlorination skids, etc.). • Develop HMI/GUI screens that clearly represent process equipment such as influent pumps, aeration blowers, UV disinfection banks, sludge press lines, and chemical-feed skids. • Integrate SCADA platforms with Allen-Bradley PLCs/RTUs Installation & Commissioning • Oversee field installation, I/O check-out, loop calibration, and full functional testing at treatment plants and remote sites. • Validate process-control logic for flow pacing, PID aeration control, pump VFD ramping, and wet-well level sequencing. Maintenance & Troubleshooting • Perform routine firmware upgrades, tag database modifications, and network-switch patching in accordance with AWWA and ISA/IEC 62443 guidance. • Diagnose sensor issues (e.g., pH, DO, ORP, turbidity), telemetry faults (cellular, fiber, licensed radio), and PLC/RTU failures, restoring systems to minimize plant downtime. Documentation & Reporting • Produce P&IDs, network topologies, and control narratives; maintain redlines/as-builts. • Generate regulatory and operational reports (flow totals, chemical-feed rates, SCADA alarm histories) to support DEC/EPA compliance. Collaboration & Support • Coordinate with process, mechanical, and electrical engineers, integrators, and plant operators to ensure seamless system performance. • Train plant staff on alarm management, trending, and basic HMI navigation. Compliance & Standards • Ensure all designs adhere to NYC DEP, NYS DEC, and EPA wastewater regulations, NFPA 820 electrical safety, and ISA 101 HMI, ISA 18.2 alarm-management standards. • Implement defense-in-depth cybersecurity measures (network segmentation, firewall rule-sets, VPN, multifactor authentication). Requirements Education + Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Control Systems, or related field (Master’s preferred). Required Experience + 4-7 years designing and supporting SCADA systems for water or wastewater-treatment plants or other continuous-process utilities. + Hands-on work with AVEVA System Platform + Allen-Bradley programming experience  + Field startup/commissioning of process instrumentation (flow meters, level transmitters, AUMA/SIPOS valve actuators, VFDs). Technical Skills + Strong understanding of biological nutrient removal (BNR), aeration control, pump-station automation, and distributed telemetry networks. + Proficiency in SCADA-related programming/scripting (C#, VB.NET, Python, SQL, JavaScript for web HMIs). + Solid grasp of industrial protocols: Modbus TCP/RTU, DNP3, EtherNet/IP, Profibus/Profinet, OPC UA/DA, MQTT/Sparkplug-B. + Networking fundamentals: managed Ethernet switches, VLANs, cellular/fiber backhaul, virtual private networks, and fail-over redundancy. + Cyber-secure architecture design per ISA/IEC 62443 and AWWA G430/G200 guidelines. Soft Skills + Excellent analytical and troubleshooting ability; comfortable working in live plant environments. + Clear, concise communication with operators, consultants, and municipal stakeholders. + Ability to balance multiple projects, travel to facilities across the NYC metro area, and respond to off-hours emergencies when required. Certifications (preferred) + ISA / IEC 62443 Cybersecurity Certificate, Certified SCADA Security Architect (CSSA), PE (Control Systems) licensure, or NICET Industrial Instrumentation. Additional Information + Frequent travel to water and wastewater facilities, pump stations, and remote telemetry sites within the NYC region. + Must be able to climb stairs and ladders, work in confined-space or elevated areas, and adhere to site PPE requirements. + Role is fast-paced and may involve occasional night/weekend work during plant cut-overs or emergency call-outs.
