About this role
1. Coordination and Interface Management
• Maintain and own the I&C and SCADA Interface Register for all packages (turbine‑generator packages, balance of plant, switchyard, communication and TNB grid/SCADA). • Critically review interface definitions, identify gaps, and formally instruct the EPCC Contractor to resolve inconsistencies in line with contractual obligations. • Lead regular interface meetings (weekly/biweekly) with EPCC Contractor and their Sub Contractors to identify clashes, responsibilities and due dates; issue clear action lists and follow up to closure. • Ensure alignment of control philosophies, I/O lists, communication architectures and signal lists between turbine suppliers, XD BOP, Anhe and TNB requirements. • Act as the Employer’s technical authority for cross-system integration matters and interface disputes. 2. Commissioning Assurance and Witnessing
• Review and approve the EPCC Contractor’s commissioning strategy, procedures, and detailed schedules for I&C and SCADA systems. • Witness key commissioning stages including pre-commissioning, loop checks, functional testing, energisation, synchronisation, and trial operation. • Verify commissioning readiness prior to critical milestones (energisation, first synchronisation, COD). • Ensure all systems are tested in accordance with approved procedures and contractual acceptance criteria before certification.
3. Technical Review and Clarification (I&C and SCADA)
• Review key I&C and SCADA deliverables for integration aspects: control philosophies, P&IDs, I/O lists, communication block diagrams, network topology, HMI/SCADA screen list, alarm list and event list. • Check that interfaces between PLCs/DCS and SCADA (plant SCADA, TNB SCADA / RTU) are consistent in both hardware (ports, cards, cabling) and protocol (IEC 60870‑5‑104, Modbus TCP, IEC 61850, etc.). • Coordinate resolution of technical queries (TQs) between parties, ensuring responses are technically sound and consistent with contract and TNB standards. • Ensure proper implementation of interlocks, protections, fail-safe logic, and redundancy requirements. 4. FAT / SAT and Commissioning Coordination
• Prepare or review integrated FAT/SAT procedures for I&C, PLCs, protection interfaces and SCADA (including communication and data point testing to TNB). • Ensure that all cross-vendor tests are clearly defined, witnessed where required, and documented. • Support site teams during commissioning and trial runs to troubleshoot integration issues. • Verify that all integration tests, including TNB SCADA data point verification and telecontrol functionality, are successfully completed.
5. Compliance with TNB and Contract Requirements
• Verify that all I&C and SCADA interfaces comply with TNB grid code, SCADA/telecontrol requirements and project technical specifications. • Track TNB comments on submissions, coordinate consolidated responses from EPCC Contractor and vendors, and ensure timely re‑submission and approval. • Oversee compliance with SEDA requirements where applicable (e.g., renewable energy reporting, metering interfaces, performance verification for FiT/REPPA frameworks). • Support the Employer in securing approvals required for energisation, synchronisation, and commercial operation.
6. Documentation and Configuration Management
• Maintain updated integration drawings and lists (communication architecture, I/O and signal mapping, addressing tables, time synchronisation scheme) reflecting agreed solutions. • Ensure as‑built I&C and SCADA documentation from the EPCC Contractor and vendors is consistent and complete before takeover (including licenses, passwords, network diagrams and configuration backups). • Ensure EPCC Contractor meets contractual requirements related to integration, commissioning, and performance guarantees. • Review and certify completion of commissioning milestones and readiness for Taking-Over Certificate (TOC) and Commercial Operation Date (COD). • Provide technical input into contractual notices related to delays, non-compliance, or defects in integration and commissioning. • Maintain detailed records to support claims, variation assessments, and dispute resolution if required.
7. Progress and Risk Management
• Identify integration-related risks (late deliveries, open TNB comments, missing I/O, protocol incompatibility) and highlight them early to SMEC and the Owner with mitigation actions. • Provide concise weekly updates on I&C/SCADA integration status, key issues and required decisions from Owner/SMEC. • Provide independent progress assessments to the Employer, including readiness for key milestones and COD. • Interface with lenders’ technical advisors (LTA), Independent Engineer, and regulators on commissioning status and compliance. • Promote safe commissioning practices in line with Malaysian regulations and international standards.
Required Qualifications and Experience
• Diploma or Degree in Electrical, Electronics, Control, or related Engineering discipline. • Minimum 10 years’ experience in I&C / SCADA for power/utility projects. • Hands‑on experience with PLC/DCS based control systems, plant SCADA and communication protocols (IEC 60870‑5‑104, Modbus TCP/RTU, IEC 61850, DNP3 or similar). • Proven experience in FAT/SAT, commissioning and troubleshooting of I&C and SCADA systems on site. • Familiarity with relevant IEC/IEEE/ISA control and SCADA standards and utility grid/SCADA requirements. • Extensive experience in FAT, SAT, commissioning, and system integration across multi-vendor environments. • Working knowledge of FIDIC contracts and contractual enforcement in project execution.
