Hire SCADA engineers who understand the plant behind the screens
From factory supervision on WinCC, FactoryTalk and Ignition to utility SCADA on IEC 61850 and DNP3 — we screen SCADA engineers on architecture, alarm discipline and live-plant experience, not screen-building alone. Shortlist in about two weeks.
Anyone can draw a mimic. Few can engineer supervision.
The expensive SCADA mistakes are architectural — bad tag structure, alarm floods, fragile redundancy, unsecured connectivity. Our screen goes where the risk lives.
Platform-depth screen
Hands-on interrogation on your stack — Siemens WinCC (incl. WinCC Unified), FactoryTalk View SE, AVEVA System Platform / InTouch, Ignition, GE iFIX / CIMPLICITY — object models, scripting, redundancy, historian integration.
Architecture & alarms
Tag database design, server redundancy, alarm rationalization to ISA-18.2, HMI design per ISA-101, OPC UA connectivity done properly — and where each belongs in the plant network.
Domain fit verified
Factory SCADA is not utility SCADA. For power and infrastructure roles we screen separately on IEC 61850, IEC 60870-5-104 and DNP3 telemetry, RTUs and substation context — and verify it on real projects.
SCADA & supervision roles we fill
Manufacturers, integrators, water and power utilities, infrastructure operators — greenfield builds to migration projects.
SCADA Engineer (Factory)
Supervisory applications for production lines and plants.
SCADA Engineer (Utility / Energy)
Telemetry and control for power, water and infrastructure.
HMI / Visualisation Engineer
Operator interfaces engineered to ISA-101, not decorated.
Historian & Plant Data Engineer
Time-series data, reporting, downstream integration.
Alarm Management Specialist
Rationalization, philosophy documents, flood suppression.
SCADA Migration Engineer
Legacy-to-modern platform migrations with live plants.
What SCADA talent costs in India right now
Our published 2026 salary guide puts SCADA engineers at ₹3.5–5.5 L (0–2 yrs), ₹5.5–11 L (3–6 yrs) and ₹11–18 L (7 yrs+). Utility-side engineers with real IEC 61850 / DNP3 depth are scarcer than factory-side profiles, and OT-security awareness (IEC 62443) is an accelerating premium. The Demand Index tracks these shifts weekly.
Tell us the role and the constraint
Within one business day an engineer — not a salesperson — replies with an honest read: what it takes to fill the role, realistic comp for the profile, and whether we're the right firm to do it.

What employers ask us first
How fast can you send SCADA engineer profiles?
The first technically-screened shortlist typically lands in about two weeks. Migration or outage-window deadlines can move faster — tell us the date and we work back from it.
Do you cover both factory and utility SCADA?
Yes, and we screen them differently. Factory supervision (WinCC, FactoryTalk, Ignition, AVEVA) and utility telemetry (IEC 61850, IEC 60870-5-104, DNP3, RTUs) are distinct skill sets — we never pass one off as the other.
Can you find engineers for a SCADA migration?
Yes — engineers who have executed live migrations (legacy InTouch to System Platform, version upgrades, platform swaps) with cutover planning and rollback discipline, verified on real projects.
What does it cost?
We work on success-fee, retained or ongoing-partnership models, agreed directly with you. You pay for outcomes, and every placement is backed by a replacement guarantee.
Do your candidates understand OT security?
We screen for it. Network segmentation awareness, secured OPC UA connectivity and IEC 62443 fundamentals are part of the interview for any role that touches plant connectivity.
