Now, imagine taking your expertise in automation to the next level by protecting these vital systems from cyber threats. We’re looking for seasoned professionals like you to join our team of OT/ICS security experts, where your deep understanding of OT environment and system will be a key asset in creating a safer digital society.

2. Security Assessments: Lead in-depth risk and vulnerability assessments across a variety of industrial environments and systems, including SCADA, PLCs, and DCS. You’ll apply your understanding of automation processes to ensure that security measures enhance, rather than hinder, operational efficiency.
3. Strategy Development: Develop tailored security strategies that align with both regulatory requirements and the operational goals of our clients. You’ll ensure that these strategies integrate seamlessly with existing OT environments.
4. Project Leadership: Take charge of projects, leading cross-functional teams to implement security solutions that protect OT environments. Your leadership will be essential in ensuring that projects are delivered with both technical excellence and an understanding of operational realities.

2. Security Knowledge: Familiarity with industry standards such as IEC 62443, NIST 800-82, or NERC CIP is preferred, but if you’re eager to learn, we’ll provide the training to get you up to speed.
3. Problem-Solving Skills: You’re a natural problem solver who can think critically about how to protect complex systems without disrupting operations. Your ability to balance security needs with operational demands is key.
4. Communication Skills: Excellent ability to convey technical information to both technical and non-technical audiences. You can translate complex security concepts into actionable insights for clients and colleagues.
5. Leadership Ability: Experience leading teams and managing projects in an industrial setting. You know how to motivate and guide others to achieve shared goals.
