• Establish secure configurations for ICS components including PLCs, RTUs, HMIs, and IoT devices.
• Conduct threat modeling and risk assessments for OT environments.

Deployment & Operations

• Integrate security technologies such as firewalls, intrusion detection/prevention systems, endpoint protection, and SIEM tools.
• Configure and monitor secure communication protocols (e.g., IEC 61850, OPC-UA, Modbus/TCP, DNP3).
• Perform vulnerability scans and penetration testing across turbine and farm networks.
• Support incident response, forensic investigations, and recovery efforts.

Compliance & Governance

• Apply knowledge of UK and EU cybersecurity regulations (e.g., NIS2, CRA, GDPR) to ensure compliance.
• Implement standards such as IEC 62443 and ISO 27001, with practical experience in IEC 62443-2-4, -3-2, and -3-3.
• Develop and maintain cybersecurity documentation, including policies, procedures, and disaster recovery plans.
• Assist with audits and regulatory reporting.

Project Support

• Address cybersecurity concerns during project planning and customer engagements.
• Contribute to early-stage project activities (pre-FEED and FEED) with a focus on security.
• Oversee secure commissioning and operation of renewable energy sites.
• Ensure data protection and access control across systems.
• Coordinate with engineering teams and international R&D units to embed security into system designs.
• Deliver cybersecurity awareness sessions for OT and SCADA personnel.
• Work alongside IT security teams to support IT/OT integration.

Qualifications

• Degree in Cybersecurity, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related discipline.
• Minimum of 7 years' experience in cybersecurity, preferably within OT/ICS environments.
• Strong understanding of ICS/SCADA systems, network segmentation, and OT protocols.
• Hands-on experience with security tools and vulnerability management.
• Familiarity with critical infrastructure security frameworks (e.g., IEC 62443, NIST CSF).
• Background in renewable energy (e.g., wind, solar, or power generation).
• Certifications such as GICSP, CISSP, CISM, CEH, or IEC 62443.
• Experience with turbine control systems, substations, and grid security.
• Knowledge of cloud-based monitoring and IoT security.
