Control Systems Plant Engineer

As a Control Systems Plant Engineer at PGE, you will design, develop, implement, and maintain advanced control systems that monitor and regulate critical instrumentation, equipment, and processes across our generation facilities. Your expertise will ensure these systems operate with maximum efficiency, reliability, and safety while meeting our cybersecurity standards.## About the Team The Plant Control Systems Engineering Group is a specialized team of cybersecurity and controls engineers providing comprehensive support to PGE's diverse generation portfolio, including hydro, thermal, wind, solar, and battery storage facilities.

We're seeking an experienced professional with:
* Strong background in Plant Control Systems
* Experience with Emerson, ABB, Rockwell/ Allen-Bradley, and GE Control Systems
* Project management expertise   This position will be filled at the P2-Intermediate or P3-Senior depending on candidate experience. See determining qualifications below.

Designs, develops, implements, and maintains security controls for operational technology (OT) systems used to control and monitor critical infrastructure, equipment, and processes. Ensures these industrial control systems and SCADA environments operate efficiently, reliably, and safely while protected from cyber threats.

Key Responsibilities
** Production:
Control Systems Function
** Develops procedures and job aids for design, configuration, operation and maintenance of the system. Designs, develops and manages generation plant control systems, instrumentation and other related equipment and machinery; reviews work of other engineers. Creates and maintains plant control system DCS network plans.
** Production:
Control Systems Cyber Security Function
** Design, implement, and maintain security controls for industrial control systems (ICS), SCADA, and other operational technology environments, Conduct vulnerability assessments and penetration testing on OT networks and systems, Develop and maintain security policies, procedures, and standards specific to OT environments, Monitor OT networks for security events and respond to incidents according to established protocols, Collaborate with IT security teams to ensure appropriate segmentation between IT and OT networks, Ensure compliance with NERC CIP, NIST, and other relevant regulatory standards, Evaluate and recommend security technologies specific to industrial control systems.

** Knowledge Sharing:
** Serves as a technical specialist and provides consultation/guidance to project teams in a particular practice area; actively fosters knowledge management and provides mentoring; implements resource-management strategy. Identifies training and testing requirements for new and complex control systems; provides guidance to other engineers, plant technicians, draftsmen, designers and less experienced colleagues on new systems, applications and cybersecurity network standard
** Engineering Standards:** - Maintains currency in state-of-the- art engineering practices and independently applies professional knowledge of engineering processes and standards to assignments/projects.  
** Production:
** Designs, installs and maintains generation plant control systems, instrumentation and other related equipment and machinery [(e.g., programmable logic controllers (PLC), distributed control systems (DCS), interfaces to variable-speed drives and SCADA/EMS devices]. Identifies and resolves routine DCS network problems following company standards and procedures.  
** Project Coordination:
** Assigns tasks and coordinates with other internal/external team members on assigned projects; shares information and provides professional guidance in executing project tasks.  
** Knowledge Sharing:
** Shares current knowledge of latest technology and processes; may assist with mentoring, recognition and any corrective actions required.  Education/Experience/Certifications
