Job Description

We are seeking a versatile Technical Specialist to bridge the gap between modern enterprise automation and industrial field technology. This role is unique: you will manage and scale production solutions within the Microsoft Power Platform and Copilot Studio, while simultaneously providing deep technical expertise for SCADA field device operations.

The ideal candidate is a hybrid expert—comfortable designing AI-driven workflows one hour and troubleshooting DNP3.0 communication protocols the next.

Core Responsibilities

Digital Transformation & AI Automation

  • Power Platform Administration: Provide Tier 2/3 support for production solutions built on Power BI, Power Apps, and Power Automate. Ensure environment stability, security, and performance.

  • AI Agent Development: Lead the near-term initiative to build, deploy, and maintain intelligent AI agents using Microsoft Copilot Studio to streamline internal operations.

  • Next-Gen Development: Evaluate and implement AI-assisted application development tools to accelerate the delivery of business-critical software and reporting.

  • Technical Enablement: Act as a subject matter expert for internal technical teams, facilitating knowledge transfer on Power Platform suite components and best practices.

SCADA & Field Operations

  • Field Device Commissioning: Partner with the Remote Terminal Operations (RTO) team to manage the end-to-end commissioning of SCADA field devices, ensuring seamless integration into the existing network.

  • Infrastructure Management: Support large-scale deployments of new field technologies, maintaining high standards during periods of increased project workload.

  • Network Oversight: Troubleshoot and optimize SCADA Wide Area Networks (WAN) and communication gateways to ensure 24/7 data reliability.

  • Protocol Expertise: Apply deep technical knowledge of the DNP3.0 communication protocol to manage device-to-center telemetry and command execution.

Technical Requirements

Industrial Technology (SCADA)

  • Protocols & Gateways: Deep expertise in DNP3.0 and the configuration of SCADA gateways.

  • Device Management: Experience with Central SCADA Device Management Software for remote configuration, firmware patching, and health monitoring.

  • WAN Engineering: Working knowledge of the networking infrastructure (radio, cellular, or fiber) that supports wide-area industrial telemetry.

  • Field Commissioning: Proven track record of physical and logical commissioning of SCADA hardware in a utility or industrial setting.

Enterprise Software (Microsoft Stack)

  • Power Platform: Advanced proficiency in Power Apps (Canvas/Model-driven), Power Automate (Complex flows/Cloud flows), and Power BI (DAX/Data modeling).

  • Microsoft Copilot Studio: Experience building and tuning generative AI conversational agents.

  • Documentation: Ability to produce professional-level technical specifications, network diagrams, and standard operating procedures (SOPs).
