Are you an experienced OT (Operational Technology) Engineer ?

Have you worked in the Energy, Utilities or Manufacturing sectors ?

Do you have experience in Cyber Security or an active interest in it ?

If so I have a fantastic new role with a leading energy company who have significant growth plans.

Due to nature of the role and the type of security testing that they do you will  need to work 5 days a week on-site at their office in Perth (will go to 4 days when experienced in role)

You will be working in their cutting edge security test centre ensuring the safety & reliability of their equipment and systems.

You also need to be eligible to go through security clearance so must have lived and worked in the UK for the last 5 years.

Responsibilities include:

  • Conduct thorough security evaluations of OT devices and create strong hardening configurations and processes.
  • Ensure their systems meet security standards and verify vendor compliance with OT security protocols.
  • Efficiently and effectively complete project tasks.
  • Develop and enhance security processes and procedures, recommending improvements to existing practices.
  • Work closely with wider OT and Field engineering teams to support research and testing for both existing and new devices and systems.

 

Your experience should include:

  • Experience working within an Operational Technology (OT) or Distributed Control System (DCS) environment
  • Working understanding systems like SCADA and PLC
  • Cyber security knowledge
  • Tech skills across networking, Windows and Linux
  • Ability to work on own initiative and manage workload with minimal input from others.
  • Professional security certification, such as a Global Industry Cyber Security Professional Certification (GICSP) would be great to have but not essential.
