OT Security Engineer
We are seeking an OT Security Engineer to strengthen the protection of operational technology environments across critical industrial and manufacturing operations. In this role, you will help secure industrial control systems, supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) platforms, programmable logic controllers, engineering workstations, industrial networks and related connected assets. You will work closely with operational, engineering, IT and compliance teams to identify risks, improve resilience and support the safe and reliable operation of essential processes.
Your responsibilities will include conducting OT security assessments, identifying vulnerabilities and developing practical remediation plans that recognise the availability and safety requirements of industrial environments. You will support the design and implementation of network segmentation, secure remote access, asset visibility, identity and access controls, endpoint protection, logging and monitoring capabilities. You will also contribute to incident response planning and investigations, threat modelling, security risk assessments, vulnerability management, audit activities and the development of OT security standards, procedures and technical documentation. The role may involve supporting projects involving plant upgrades, system integrations, cloud connectivity and new industrial technologies.
Applicants should have professional experience in OT, industrial cybersecurity, control systems engineering, network security or a related discipline. A strong understanding of industrial protocols, OT architectures, security frameworks and relevant regulatory requirements is essential, along with practical knowledge of firewalls, network monitoring, vulnerability assessment and incident response. Experience with platforms such as PLC, DCS or SCADA systems and familiarity with standards including IEC 62443, NIST or ISO 27001 would be advantageous. You will be an analytical and collaborative professional who can communicate effectively with both technical and non-technical stakeholders, manage competing priorities and translate security risks into clear, workable actions. Relevant professional certifications in cybersecurity, networking or industrial security are desirable.
