The position requires 5 years of experience in: * Experience using EtaPRO for power plant performance monitoring, diagnostics, and asset performance analysis in operational generation environments. * Experience with industrial communication protocols, including OPC, DNP3, and Modbus, within power generation and operational technology (OT) environments. * Experience supporting power plant operational performance and maintenance decision-making through analysis of real-time and historical operational data. The position requires 4 years of experience in: * Cybersecurity principles and best practices applicable to industrial control systems and operational technology (OT) environments in power generation facilities. * Experience supporting regulatory and internal performance reporting for power generation assets, including data validation, KPI reconciliation, and compliance-oriented analytics. * Experience working with SCADA systems and control-system operational data to support power plant monitoring, troubleshooting, and performance evaluation. ## Description DUTIES: Provide specialized technical expertise in performance monitoring and control-system data integration for power generation assets using EtaPRO and SCADA environments, leveraging industrial communications standards (OPC, DNP3, Modbus) to support reliability and operational analytics. Apply transformer diagnostics expertise by interpreting dissolved gas analysis (DGA) results and integrating DGA insights into EtaPRO for continuous asset health monitoring and early anomaly identification. Perform advanced diagnostics and condition assessment using EtaPRO performance indicators, alerting logic, and industry standards (e.g., IEEE C57.104) to support predictive maintenance and reduce corrective maintenance risk. Support regulatory and internal performance reporting by validating operational and asset data quality, reconciling plant KPIs, and enabling analytics consumption through approved enterprise reporting platforms (e.g., SAS, if applicable). Collaborate with I&C, electrical, and cybersecurity stakeholders to ensure secure, standardized industrial communications (OPC, DNP3, Modbus), maintain data interface integrity, and support high availability of monitoring/SCADA connectivity. Provide EtaPRO subject-matter expertise by standardizing configurations, authoring technical guidelines, and training engineering/O&M users to ensure consistent monitoring practices across facilities. Support delivery of operational insights through analytics visualization (e.g., Qlik Sense) by defining KPI requirements, validating data sources, and presenting asset performance trends for engineering and O&M decision- making. Troubleshoot complex performance monitoring and SCADA data issues (signal quality, communications, historian alignment) and provide technical recommendations that improve plant operability, reliability, and data-driven maintenance decisions. ## Related Videos - [Optimizing Land-Based Fish Feeding with Node-RED](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2032-optimizing-land-based-fish-feeding-with-node-red) - [Times of (climate) crisis - How and why sustainable software is a must!](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/988-times-of-climate-crisis-how-and-why-sustainable-software-is-a-must) - [What makes Cybersecurity different for critical infrastructure?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/571-what-makes-cybersecurity-different-for-critical-infrastructure) - [Enabling intelligent logistics automation: home-grown Industrial IoT platform at Austrian Post](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2018-enabling-intelligent-logistics-automation-home-grown-industrial-iot-platform-at-austrian-post) - [Kettle and Pot or Peas in a Pod?
