Exploring SCADA Engineering Career Opportunities in Australia
Australian Control Engineering (ACE) was proud to participate in the ECU Careers Fair, where we showcased real-world applications of SCADA and Control Systems engineering to students preparing to launch their careers. We met with talented graduates eager to understand their next steps in electrical, electronic, and mechatronic engineering—and how they can build successful futures in automation and renewable energy.
Our team shared how control systems are essential across industries like utilities, renewable energy, manufacturing, and mining, and how BESS and SCADA integration projects are creating exciting engineering pathways in Australia.
Why Start Your SCADA Career with ACE?
ACE offers hands-on experience across critical infrastructure projects including battery energy storage systems (BESS), solar farms, and grid-connected SCADA platforms. For graduates, it’s the ideal entry point into a high-demand field with long-term growth opportunities.
Our team culture is collaborative, mentor-driven, and built to support learning. We believe in helping young engineers become SCADA specialists—equipped with skills in PLC programming, HMI development, OT network design, telecommunications, and project delivery.
A Career Launchpad in Control Systems
SCADA and automation touch nearly every industry—and mastering them can unlock access to careers in energy, mining, oil & gas, utilities, transport, defence, robotics, and more. ACE is deeply embedded in these sectors and provides a practical environment where engineers gain both technical and project experience.
We pride ourselves on staying agile, passionate, and free from the red tape of large corporations. At ACE, every graduate is part of a close-knit team with access to real projects, meaningful mentorship, and a career they can shape on their own terms.
Why align with ACE? The current Australian engineering landscape is competitive. At times it can be difficult to get a foot in the door without experience. SCADA, control systems and automation are now ubiquitous across every industry in some way and a great gateway career to enter Mining, Oil & Gas and Utilities. The latter of which ACE specialises in and has a great reputation.
