Imagine a future where you help keep the critical control systems behind Germany’s renewable energy assets safe, secure, and reliable.

Join us in this role where you’ll maintain and improve production-critical SCADA and Operational Technology systems across our German offshore and onshore assets. You’ll diagnose faults, strengthen system reliability and cyber resilience, and coordinate effective solutions with operations teams, technical experts, and suppliers.

Welcome to CE Engineering

You’ll be part of CE Engineering where you together with your colleagues will support the safe, reliable, secure, and compliant operation of SCADA and OT systems. You’ll collaborate with site operations, global support functions, OEMs, suppliers, contractors, and project teams across the asset lifecycle. As a team, we share knowledge, care about safe operations, and work across organisational boundaries to find practical, lasting solutions.

You’ll play an important role in:

• maintaining, troubleshooting, and improving SCADA and OT systems, including industrial networks, servers, RTUs, HMIs, communication systems, and supporting infrastructure
• diagnosing technical faults and preventing production losses through root-cause analysis, corrective actions, and preventive measures
• developing maintenance strategies and lifecycle plans, including upgrades, retrofits, and obsolescence management for critical SCADA and OT infrastructure
• coordinating incident resolution, maintenance, and technical support with operations teams, global support functions, OEMs, suppliers, and contractors
• supporting OT cyber security, ISMS, compliance, emergency recovery, and business continuity activities
• maintaining accurate technical documentation, asset information, work instructions, and maintenance records in SAP and CMMS systems.

To succeed in the role, you:

• have completed relevant education within electrical engineering, automation engineering, systems engineering, information technology, or computer engineering, or equivalent experience
• have hands-on experience operating, maintaining, and troubleshooting SCADA, industrial control, automation, or OT systems in renewable energy, utilities, power systems, transmission, or another critical infrastructure environment
• understand industrial networks, servers, HMIs, RTUs, firewalls, and communication protocols such as IEC 61850 and IEC 60870-5-101/103/104
• are familiar with OT cyber security requirements and frameworks such as ISO 27001, ISO 27019, IEC 62443, or NIS2
• use analytical thinking and structured fault diagnosis to identify root causes and turn findings into practical reliability improvements
• communicate clearly, build effective relationships across technical and operational teams, and are able to work offshore after obtaining the required certifications.

Maybe you’ve read the above and can see you have some transferable skills, even though they don’t quite match all the points. If you think you can bring something to the team, we still encourage you to apply.
