SCADA System Intern Aveva System Platform

About the Project:

DNMC (Doha Network Management Center) in Qatar oversees the centralized SCADA system supporting critical infrastructure operations. The SCADA platform is built using Aveva System Platform (formerly Wonderware) and integrates various subsystems including water drainage and smart infrastructure monitoring.

This internship offers hands-on experience in one of the regions most advanced SCADA environments working closely with engineers and project managers on real-time systems dashboards alarms communication protocols and system enhancements.

Key Responsibilities:

• Assist the SCADA team with daily operations and troubleshooting of the Aveva System Platform.
• Support in configuring testing and deploying HMI screens and industrial dashboards.
• Participate in system documentation including asset registers configuration manuals and system diagrams.
• Aid in integration testing of field devices (RTUs PLCs sensors) with the SCADA system.
• Work alongside senior engineers during system upgrades backups and patch implementations.
• Learn and apply industrial protocols like Modbus OPC DNP3 under supervision.
• Attend project meetings and contribute to internal knowledge-sharing sessions.
• Follow cybersecurity protocols and ensure documentation is stored in compliance with DNMC guidelines.

Requirements:

Education: Recent graduate or final-year student in Electrical Engineering Mechatronics Computer Engineering Industrial Automation or related field.

Technical Skills:

• Basic understanding of SCADA PLCs or industrial control systems.
