* Support the implementation of secure and segmented OT networks
* Produce technical documentation relating to configuration, testing and implementation
Experience required
* Strong Operational Technology / OT cyber security background
* Industrial networking and cyber networking experience
* Windows Server configuration and security

* Experience configuring, testing and troubleshooting secure industrial networks
* Understanding of cyber security standards and network hardening
* Comfortable working with engineers, architects and other technical stakeholders
* Ability to investigate unfamiliar technology, configure it, test it and document the resulting solution
Experience with NIST and/or IEC 62443 would be useful, alongside knowledge of secure, highly available industrial networks.
