Monitoring Systems:

• Monitor and analyze real-time data from remote sensors, devices, and equipment within the SCADA system to track performance and operational conditions.
• Respond to alarms or deviations from standard operation and take corrective actions.

Data Interpretation:

• Analyze data to identify patterns or potential problems that could affect system reliability, efficiency, or safety.
• Compile reports for higher-level management or engineering teams.

Control Operations:

• Operate control systems to adjust settings and parameters of equipment, such as pumps, valves, motors, or turbines, based on real-time data or predefined operating conditions.
• Implement predefined procedures to address operational problems, such as equipment malfunctions or environmental changes.

Troubleshooting & Problem Solving:

• Diagnose and resolve issues with the SCADA system or the infrastructure being monitored (e.g., electrical substations, water treatment plants).
• Coordinate with field technicians and engineers when repairs or manual interventions are needed.

Preventative Maintenance:

• Regularly perform checks and maintenance tasks to ensure SCADA equipment and connected devices are functioning correctly.
• Update and maintain system software and hardware.

Communication & Coordination:

• Work closely with engineers, technicians, and other departments to ensure optimal system performance and to troubleshoot issues.
• Communicate with other control room operators or site personnel when required for coordination.

Emergency Response:

• Respond promptly to alarms or system failures by taking corrective action or escalating the issue.
• Ensure that all safety protocols are followed during emergencies or critical situations.
