Employment for this position will be through DB Power Solutions LLC, a DESRI partner company. While the role will support DESRI and its affiliated operations, all employment and payroll administration for this position will be conducted by DB Power Solutions LLC.
DESRI
DESRI (formerly D. E. Shaw Renewable Investments) is a market-leading owner and operator of renewable energy projects throughout the United States. We have acquired or developed approximately 11 gigawatts of contracted capacity across a portfolio of over 70 renewable energy projects in 24 states.
About The Role
DESRI is seeking a talented and motivated individual to join its Engineering and BESS team as an Associate or Manager, SCADA Execution Engineer, title to be commensurate with experience. This individual will focus primarily on battery energy storage systems (BESS) and play a key role in the design review, integration, and implementation of SCADA and control systems across DESRI’s portfolio. The role provides the opportunity to shape how DESRI’s renewable and storage projects are monitored, controlled, and optimized. You will collaborate across engineering, construction, operations, and technology teams to ensure seamless integration of BESS assets into DESRI’s supervisory and data management systems, supporting safe, efficient, and reliable operations.
What You'll Do
You will lead or support the execution of SCADA and controls integration for utility-scale battery storage projects, ensuring robust system performance and operational readiness. Responsibilities include conducting detailed SCADA design reviews, defining technical specifications, and supporting EPC scoping and vendor selection for controls and monitoring systems. You’ll develop integration strategies to connect battery systems with energy management systems (EMS), plant controllers, and DESRI’s central monitoring platform.
You’ll create and maintain comprehensive points lists, alarm and data mapping documentation, and tag naming conventions for BESS and related infrastructure. You’ll oversee or assist with configuration of alarming, data historian setup, and control logic verification, ensuring alignment with operational requirements and industry best practices. You’ll work closely with EPCs and integrators during design, factory acceptance testing (FAT), and site commissioning to verify communication interfaces, system performance, and data accuracy.
You’ll support DESRI’s operations and commissioning teams by troubleshooting SCADA integration issues, validating telemetry data, and ensuring systems are optimized for performance, reliability, and cybersecurity. You’ll contribute to continuous improvement by capturing lessons learned, standardizing SCADA templates, and implementing best practices across DESRI’s growing battery storage and renewable energy portfolio.
