Point to Point Test Analyst

Point to Point Test Analyst - 6 month Contract - INSIDE IR35 - Hybrid - Warwick
Our global consultancy client is supporting a major UK electricity transmission operator through a significant SCADA transformation programme. As part of the separation from the National Electricity System Operator (NESO), the programme involves migrating all SCADA operations to a new standalone OSI Aspentech/DGM Monarch SCADA platform.
The new SCADA system will manage approximately 350 substations and over 700,000 sensor data points, integrating with wider enterprise systems to reduce manual handling, ensure safety, and support a more digital operation.
To support this, we’re seeking a Point-to-Point Test Analyst to lead a critical testing phase that ensures accurate data migration and telemetry/control functionality between the old and new systems. This involves the simulation and validation of real-world devices using an emulator and live telemetry, ensuring data integrity and control mapping remain consistent across platforms.

  Collaborate with Business SMEs to define, scope, and document the Point-to-Point test stage
  
• 
  Develop and manage the Test Plan for review and approval

• 
  Ensure test support requirements are captured as User Stories and tracked via Jira backlogs
  
• 
  Document tests, record results, and store evidence using JIRA/Xray and SharePoint
  
• 
  Monitor and report on test coverage, progress, and outcomes
  
• 
  Raise and manage defects in line with programme-wide defect management processes
  
• 
  Produce a final test outcome report for the Point-to-Point stage
  

Experience & Skills Required:

• 
  Minimum 3 years’ experience as a Test Lead or Analyst in customer-facing roles, ideally on SCADA or real-time control projects

  Proficient in Jira and Xray (including JQL scripting for queries and reports)
  
• 
  Excellent communication and stakeholder engagement skills across technical and business domains
  
• 
  Strong knowledge of SCADA and NMS platforms (OSI Aspentech/DGM preferred; similar platforms considered)
  
• 
  Familiarity with telemetry, control systems, and protocols/standards such as IEC101, IEC104, GI74, IEC 61850, IEEE
