About the Organisation
This organisation is a multi-disciplinary electrical engineering and systems integration firm with nearly 40 years of experience serving industrial and commercial markets across the United States and internationally.

- Manage OT cybersecurity practices, including network segmentation, patching, access control, and endpoint protection
- Maintain documentation for deployed OT systems and configurations
- Collaborate with project engineers to deliver technically sound OT solutions on schedule
Qualifications
- 5+ years of experience in OT/IT roles within an industrial, manufacturing, or systems integration environment
- Hands-on experience with industrial OT network systems (Cisco, Fortinet, Rockwell, or similar)
- Strong working knowledge of OT networking protocols (EtherNet/IP, Modbus, Profibus) and OT network architecture
- Hands-on experience with industrial control systems (Rockwell, Siemens, Emerson, or similar)
- Experience with virtualization platforms and secure remote access in OT environments
- Familiarity with OT cybersecurity frameworks (ISA/IEC 62443 considered an advantage)
- Comfortable managing multiple active projects simultaneously with minimal oversight
- Ability to work on-site at customer facilities across the United States
- Certifications such as Cisco, Fortinet, or ISA99 are preferred
Location
Maine-based, with flexibility to work across offices in Rumford, Gray, and Bangor. Approximately 25% travel is expected.
