Energy Management System; EMS) Engineer Job Hubbard Texas USA,Engineering

The APEX Power Co. Project in Hubbard, TX, currently under Phase 1 construction, is expected to expand to 1.6 GW. It features a diverse mix of generation technologies, including Siemens SGT-800/400 simple cycle turbines, MAN/Everllence 18V51/60G gas reciprocating engines, GE LM6000/LM2500 simple cycle turbines, Pratt & Whitney FT8 simple cycle turbines, and a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS), enabling flexible, reliable power output.

Future expansion may include additional GE aero and large frame units (6B, 7FA/7FB/7H) in simple or combined cycle configurations, allowing the plant to efficiently meet varying energy demands while supporting data center grid reliability.

Opportunity Summary

The Energy Management System (EMS) Engineer provides technical leadership for the plant's Energy Management System (EMS), Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA), and real-time operational monitoring systems throughout commissioning and commercial operations. This role supports EMS architecture, system integration, real-time monitoring of plant generation and electrical system performance, and optimization of power flow, grid connectivity, and dispatch capabilities. Working closely with Operations, Controls Engineering, Electrical Engineering, OEMs, and contractors, the EMS Engineer develops and maintains EMS and SCADA solutions that improve situational awareness, operational reliability, and grid performance.

As

EMS Engineer, your responsibilities specific to the Pre-Commissioning Phase include:

Lead commissioning and functional testing of the Energy Management System (EMS), SCADA, communications infrastructure, and associated monitoring systems to ensure safe and reliable startup.
Coordinate EMS integration with DCS, PLC, turbine controls, Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS), electrical systems, and plant instrumentation to support complete operational visibility.
Verify EMS displays, one-line diagrams, alarms, historian interfaces, real-time data acquisition, communications, and operator graphics prior to commercial operation.
Support Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT), Site Acceptance Testing (SAT), startup activities, and system turnover while resolving EMS, SCADA, and communications issues using structured Root Cause Analysis (RCA).
Ensure EMS databases, network architecture, operating displays, documentation, software backups, communications mapping, and CMMS/EAM records are complete for operational turnover.

Your scope of responsibility as EMS Engineer includes the following primary functions:

Provide technical leadership for the plant's Energy Management System (EMS), SCADA, and real-time operational monitoring systems to maximize plant reliability, situational awareness, and operational performance.
Monitor real-time plant generation, electrical loading, power flows, transmission interfaces, Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS), and grid operating conditions to support safe, reliable, and efficient plant operation.
Develop, configure, maintain, and optimize EMS applications, SCADA displays, one-line diagrams, operator graphics, alarms, historian interfaces, and real-time data acquisition systems.
Analyze EMS, SCADA, and operational data to identify system abnormalities, communication failures, equipment issues, and opportunities to improve plant performance and grid reliability.
Support Control Room Operations by providing engineering expertise related to plant dispatch, operating limits, power flow monitoring, equipment loading, and system availability.
Coordinate EMS integration with DCS, PLC, turbine control systems, electrical protection systems, and plant communication networks while supporting system upgrades and modifications.
