Job description

Purpose/Objective

Lead OT Cybersecurity Engineer will spearhead the design, implementation and operations of cybersecurity controls across OT/ICS environments. This role acts as the technical authority for securing industrial automation systems, ensuring visibility, resilience, compliance and threat protection across plants and manufacturing operations. The position requires close collaboration with Plant Engineering, OEM vendors, IT Security teams, Cybersecurity team and SOC to strengthen OT cyber maturity, implement secure architectures and drive incident response readiness aligned with global standards (IEC 62443, NIST 800 82, ISO 27001, etc).

Key Responsibilities of Role

• Key Responsibilities: Design and implement OT network segmentation based on the Purdue Model, including DMZs, industrial firewalls, and secure remote access architectures.
• Deploy and manage RBAC, MFA, jump servers, and vendor access solutions with session monitoring and recording.
• Implement zero trust principles tailored for OT/ICS environments.
• Oversee security of IT OT converged systems, PLC, IC…?
• Prepare, validate, and troubleshoot firewall rules for OT zones.
• Maintain accurate OT asset inventories for PLCs, DCS/SCADA, HMIs, historians, engineering stations, and edge devices.
• Manage configuration baselines and secure backups/restore mechanisms including immutable/offline backups.
• Lead risk based vulnerability management, patch cycle planning, compensating controls and OT Change Advisory Board (CAB/MOC) processes.
• Enhance asset management practices and ensure lifecycle security of OT components.
• Manage and enhance OT incident response processes by collaborating closely with site teams and the Security Operations Centre (SOC).
