Job Description:

Idaho Power — headquartered in vibrant Boise, Idaho — is looking for a SCADA Engineer to join our Power Supply team. It’s an exciting time to work for Idaho Power. Our work plays a critical role in communities we serve across Idaho and Oregon, and we’re working hard to safely provide our customers with the safe, reliable, and affordable energy they depend on. While this position is based at Idaho Power’s western Boise location, we offer both flexible schedules and the opportunity to work up to 40% remote.

What does a SCADA Engineer do for us?

They specify, design, install, and maintain the hardware and field interfaces that allow monitoring and control of the power grid.

  • Support development and operation of a secure network
  • Develop and implement standards for SCADA system design
  • Develop and implement maintenance and transition plans for SCADA hardware and software lifecycles
  • Provide modeling and troubleshooting support for EMS telemetry infrastructure and SCADA applications

In addition to the meaningful work we do, we offer work-life balance, competitive pay and benefits, an employee incentive plan, and both a 401k employer-match and a pension plan, making Idaho Power one of the best employers in the state.
