Your mission

You'll own complex, international PPC/SCADA projects from kickoff to commissioning — with Africa as a key frontier. You'll be the technical backbone and the client's go-to person, working with a tight-knit team of engineers who are as passionate about solving hard problems as they are about doing great work.

This isn't a "follow the process" kind of role. We want someone who builds the process.

What you'll own:

Project Delivery

• Drive end-to-end project management: budget, timeline, contracts, and risk — autonomously

• Coordinate internal engineering resources (SCADA development, hardware design) and subcontractors

• Be the single point of accountability for customer satisfaction, from kickoff to go-live

• Report progress to leadership and flag risks before they become problems

Technical Execution

• Design SCADA cabinet electrical architecture and plant network topology (high availability, fast comms)

• Configure and master Elum's PPC solution; lead onsite and remote commissioning

• Produce crisp technical deliverables: functional analyses, electrical diagrams, I/O lists, network architecture, exchange table mappings

• Define SCADA HMI technical specifications

• Select and configure hardware (network, I/O interfaces, and more)

Growth & Impact

• Lead internal initiatives to sharpen team practices, templates, and tooling

• Design new device integrations to expand Elum's compatibility with BESS, Gensets, and beyond

• Build and deliver training for newcomers and colleagues

• Surface bugs and product improvements that push Elum's solutions forward

• Support pre-sales with technical assessments and risk evaluations

What you bring

Hard skills

• Master's in Electrical Engineering, Renewable Energy, or equivalent

• 5–10 years of hands-on experience in PPC, SCADA, or control systems within utility-scale PV — this is non-negotiable

• Deep knowledge of SCADA architectures and their application in solar power plants

• Solid grasp of communication protocols: Modbus, IEC 104, OPC UA, IEC 61850, OCPP

• IT network architecture fluency: VPNs, VLANs, redundancy, OSI/TCP-IP

• Onsite commissioning experience — you actually enjoy being in the field

• Bonus points for: BESS/hybrid/off-grid experience, Python/C++/Matlab, energy modeling tools (DIgSILENT, PSS/E, PSCAD)

Languages

• English & Spanish: full professional fluency (both mandatory)

• Any additional language is a genuine asset in our global team

How you show up

• You take initiative and drive decisions without waiting for direction

• You communicate with confidence and adapt your approach to any audience

• You navigate difficult conversations and bring people back to what matters

• You manage complexity across multiple fronts without losing sight of delivery

• You want to grow and you help others grow too

What makes this role different

You'll join a core team of 8 specialists (3 PMs + 5 Technical Managers) where collaboration isn't a buzzword it's how we actually work. Your team leader genuinely invests in individuals, work-life balance, and making sure you feel rewarded for what you bring. We work on projects worldwide, and we solve problems with both experience and a fresh perspective.
