How will you help power the Netherlands? By making sure the automation, SCADA and OT systems supporting our offshore assets are ready to be operated and maintained safely, reliably and securely for years to come.
Within Operational Readiness, the Operating Engineer connects Project Delivery, Engineering and the future Operations organisation. The focus is not on owning the detailed design, but on reviewing and challenging solutions from an O&M perspective.
Your responsibilities include:
-
Represent the future Operations organisation by providing O&M input during engineering, testing, commissioning and handover.
-
Review operability and maintainability of SCADA, automation and OT systems.
-
Identify operational, lifecycle and cybersecurity risks and challenge technical solutions where required.
-
Support maintenance concepts, lifecycle planning, backup and recovery strategies and service requirements.
-
Safeguard documentation, configurations, software information and vendor knowledge before handover.
-
Attend/review FAT, SAT and commissioning results from an Operations perspective.
-
Capture lessons learned and translate operational experience into improvements for future projects.
The technical scope includes SCADA, DCS and PLC-based automation, HMI, historians, industrial servers, virtualised OT environments, OT networks, firewalls, secure remote access, backup and recovery, software lifecycle management and industrial communication protocols such as Modbus, OPC-UA and Profinet. Interfaces with systems such as HVAC, pumps, diesel generators, UPS and fire and safety systems are also part of the role.
The focus is specifically on automation, SCADA and OT technology supporting auxiliary systems. High Voltage systems, HV protection & control and HVDC converter control are outside the scope of this position.
Being a specialist in every technology is not required. A broad automation/OT background is more valuable: strong knowledge of industrial automation or SCADA, combined with enough breadth to understand OT infrastructure, cybersecurity and multidisciplinary interfaces.
