Tract Capital goes beyond simple investment by acting as a strategic partner and catalyst for innovation within the sector. We ensure our engagements not only generate strong financial results but also develop essential digital infrastructure to meet growing demands. Tract Capital has introduced two digital infrastructure strategies. The first is a horizontal powered land strategy focused on creating master planned data center campuses called Tract. The second is the mega-campus vertical development strategy called Fleet Data Centers.

The Senior Controls Engineer owns controls discipline design for Tract's for behind-the-meter (BTM) generation solutions and integration into our monitoring and command center operations. This role develops controls standards and BOD, coordinates with vendors and product teams, and ensures OT systems meet reliability, cybersecurity, and operational requirements for mission-critical environments.

How will you make a difference?

• Own controls discipline design and Basis of Design (BOD) for BTM generation systems, including PLC/RTU architecture, network design, telemetry points, alarms, and historian requirements.
• Coordinate with Power Generation equipment (Reciprocating Engines, Turbines, Fuel Cells, Batteries etc.) vendors on control panels, engine controllers, switchgear controls, and ancillary skids to ensure consistent interfaces and robust fault handling.
• Define integration requirements to Tract monitoring systems (dashboards, alarm priorities, escalation paths, and runbooks) and ensure clear demarcation of responsibilities during incidents.
• Partner with Product and Security to align cybersecurity requirements (segmentation, access control, logging, secure remote access) with customer and enterprise standards.
• Support commissioning, controls validation, and site acceptance testing; troubleshoot issues related to sequencing, protection interfaces, and communications.
• Develop and maintain standard operating procedures (SOPs), modes of operation (MOPs), and change-control practices for controls modifications and setpoint management.
• Establish KPIs for controls performance and reliability (nuisance alarm rate, comms uptime, MTTR) and drive continuous Support after-action reviews and root cause analysis for controls-related events; implement corrective actions and prevent recurrence.

Basic Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Controls Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related discipline.
• 7+ years in industrial controls/OT engineering, SCADA integration, or mission-critical controls for generation/power systems.

Required Qualifications

• Proven ownership of controls discipline design and Basis of Design (BOD) for complex BTM or power generation systems (PLC/RTU architecture, networks, alarms, historian)
• Demonstrated experience integrating controls/OT systems with centralized monitoring or command center platforms, including alarm prioritization and runbook alignment
• Hands-on experience supporting commissioning, controls validation, and site acceptance testing, including troubleshooting sequencing, protection interface, and communications issues
• Track record establishing and maintaining SOPs, MOPs, and change-control practices for controls logic, setpoints, and configuration changes
• Experience defining and tracking controls performance and reliability KPIs (e.g., nuisance alarm rate, communications uptime, MTTR) and driving corrective actions through post-incident reviews and root cause analysis

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with generation controls, paralleling/synchronizing systems, and integration with protection relays and switchgear.
• Experience implementing OT security best practices (IEC 62443 concepts, secure remote access, network ha
