• Develop HLD/LLD| network topology diagrams| connectivity requirements| IP addressing strategy| segmentation| redundancy| and resiliency requirements.
• LAN/WAN Architecture Design and validate enterprise LAN/WAN connectivity| including routing| switching| VLANs| WAN circuits| SD-WAN| and site connectivity.
• Define redundant connectivity and high-availability requirements for critical plant services.
• Network Security & Segmentation Work with cybersecurity and OT security teams to develop secure network segmentation between enterprise IT and plant/OT environments.
• Support firewall architecture| security zones| access requirements| and network-security controls.
• Ensure the migration adheres to applicable client security and infrastructure standards.
• OT/IT Integration Coordinate integration requirements between corporate IT infrastructure and power plant operational technology.
• Identify connectivity dependencies involving plant systems and other operational applications without introducing unnecessary dependencies between OT and enterprise networks.
• Site Migration Planning Develop the detailed network migration and cutover approach.
• Identify prerequisites| sequencing| dependencies| maintenance-window requirements| validation criteria| rollback requirements| and post-migration activities.
• Design the migration to minimize interruption to site operations
• .Physical Infrastructure & Cabling Assess structured cabling and physical network infrastructure.
