📍 Hybrid or On-site | 💼 Full-Time | 🔐 Critical Infrastructure & Grid Security

🛡️ Defend the Grid: Protect the power infrastructure that keeps communities running—from smart grids to renewable energy systems.

🔍 Threat Hunting in Real Time: Monitor, detect, and respond to cybersecurity incidents across IT and OT networks.

💻 High-Tech, High-Stakes: Use advanced tools and collaborate with experts to solve complex cybersecurity challenges in critical infrastructure.

Why Join Us:

Critical Infrastructure Security: Join a leading energy provider where you'll safeguard the power grid and renewable assets against cyber threats in a critical infrastructure environment.
Advanced Tools & Tech: Work with state-of-the-art cybersecurity tools in a company that invests heavily in protecting its smart grid and industrial control systems.
Expert Team Culture: Collaborate with a team of security experts in a culture that values continuous learning, proactive problem-solving, and a vigilant security mindset.

Key Responsibilities:

Monitor the organization’s energy control networks and systems (SCADA/industrial control systems and corporate networks) for suspicious activity or unauthorized access, using intrusion detection systems and security monitoring tools.
Investigate security alerts or incidents in real-time by analyzing logs and network traffic to determine the nature and scope of potential threats, and respond according to the incident response plan.
Conduct regular vulnerability assessments and penetration testing on critical infrastructure components to identify weaknesses in both IT and OT (operational technology) environments.
Implement and maintain cybersecurity measures such as firewalls, intrusion prevention systems, access controls, and network segmentation to protect power generation facilities and grid control systems.
Collaborate with IT and engineering teams to apply security patches and updates to systems and devices, carefully managing any downtime for critical systems.
Develop and update cybersecurity policies, incident response plans, and training programs; educate employees on security best practices (e.g. phishing awareness) to foster a security-conscious culture.
Ensure compliance with industry security standards and regulations (e.g. NERC CIP for power systems), preparing documentation and reports for audits or management review.

Qualifications:

Bachelor’s degree in Cybersecurity, Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related field.
2+ years of experience in cybersecurity analysis or IT security, with exposure to industrial control systems or critical infrastructure security strongly preferred.
Knowledge of network security principles, intrusion detection systems, firewalls, and incident response best practices.
Familiarity with SCADA/ICS environments and protocols (e.g. Modbus, DNP3) and the unique security challenges of operational technology systems.
Relevant security certifications (Security+, CISSP, GIAC/GICSP or similar) are a plus.
Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities, with keen attention to detail and the ability to remain calm and effective during security incidents.
Excellent communication skills for reporting incidents, training staff on cybersecurity practices, and coordinating with cross-functional teams.
