Who should apply
It suits electrical engineers with proven SCADA experience on wind projects. It may not suit anyone who cannot commute to or relocate near Chennai.
A typical working day
Your day will mix several tasks. You are likely to set up monitoring and control systems to improve turbine performance, then work with cross-functional teams for smooth integration, and at other times design and develop SCADA systems for wind farms. How the day is split will change with the shift, the workload and the stage of the project.
How to prepare for the interview
Prepare to discuss data, access control and uptime in simple language, because many panels include a non-technical manager.
Many panels ask why you want to join this particular company. Read the careers page and recent company news so your answer sounds informed. One likely question is how you would set up monitoring and control systems to improve turbine performance. Another may ask how you would work with cross-functional teams for smooth integration. Spend extra time on wind farm SCADA, monitoring and control and system integration, because the listing points to them.
Resume tips for a Site SCADA Engineer application
List systems, modules and tools by their exact names, and add the type of work you did in each one.
Use one clean font, clear headings and plain bullet points so that screening software and people can both read your CV.
Borrow the employer’s own terms for tools and duties, but only where they match what you have done. If the employer writes wind farm SCADA or monitoring and control, make sure those exact words appear in your CV. Give proof for SCADA design, and for wind energy experience, with a project, a figure or a result next to each.
Career growth after this role
Experience in plant or business systems is valued across industries, so the skills stay portable. Skills built in this job travel well, so the experience stays useful even if you later move to another employer.
Ask the recruiter how people usually progress at JAKSON Group. A thoughtful question about training and mentoring leaves a good impression.
Questions to ask the recruiter

Avoid speaking badly about a former employer. Keep your answers calm and focused on what you want to learn next.
