During your tenure as a Senior Consultant – Senior Manager, you will demonstrate and develop your capabilities in the following areas.

Design OT security

• Define the OT security architecture and reference designs: Purdue-model zoning, IEC 62443 zones and conduits, OT DMZs, secure remote access, and backup and recovery
• Set cybersecurity requirements for OEMs, system integrators and contractors (IEC 62443-2-4, 3-3, 4-2), and review their designs before installation
• Secure new builds through to handover: check that systems are delivered hardened, documented, and with default credentials and unused services removed
• Define secure IT/OT integration patterns for systems that share data with business and smart-city platforms
  
  

Assess OT environments

• Build and maintain the OT asset inventory: controllers, HMIs, servers, network devices and their communication paths
• Run IEC 62443 risk assessments: identify zones, set target security levels, assess gaps and recommend controls
• Assess compliance with NCA OTCC and NCA ECC for OT systems, and track remediation
  
  

Test OT and connected IT environments

• Configuration reviews: review the security configuration of PLCs, HMIs, engineering workstations, SCADA and historian servers, industrial switches and firewalls against vendor hardening guides and approved baselines
• Firewall and segmentation testing: review firewall rule sets at IT/OT and zone boundaries, and test that segmentation actually blocks unauthorized paths between corporate IT, the OT DMZ and control networks
• Network traffic analysis: capture and analyze OT network traffic (e.g. Wireshark, Zeek, OT monitoring platforms) to baseline normal communications, find unknown assets, insecure protocols, cleartext credentials and unexpected external connections
• Connected IT systems: test the Windows and Linux servers, domain controllers, jump hosts and remote access gateways that support OT, covering patching, hardening, accounts and privileges
• Remote and wireless access: test vendor remote access paths, VPNs and industrial wireless for weak authentication and exposure
• Run safe, passive or approved active testing only, with change approval and operations sign-off, so live processes are never disrupted
• Produce clear test reports with risk-rated findings, evidence and practical fixes that suit the operational environment
  
  

Manage OT security operations

• Deploy and manage OT network monitoring (e.g. Nozomi, Claroty, Dragos), and tune detections for industrial protocols (Modbus, BACnet, DNP3, OPC UA, IEC 61850)
• Build OT incident response playbooks with the SOC and operations teams, and run joint exercises
• Manage OT vulnerabilities and patching in line with vendor support and plant safety requirements
• Control and monitor third-party and vendor remote access to OT systems
  
  

Govern and report

• Write OT security policies, standards and procedures aligned with NCA OTCC and IEC 62443
• Work closely with operations and engineering teams on live sites, explaining security in operational terms and respecting safety and uptime
• Report OT risk posture and compliance status to management
  
  

Leadership Capabilities

• Builds own understanding of our purpose and values; explores opportunities for impact.
• Demonstrates strong commitment to personal learning and development; acts as a brand ambassador to help attract top talent.
• Understands expectations and demonstrates personal accountability for keeping performance on track.
• Actively focuses on developing effective communication and relationship-building skills.
• Understands how their daily work contributes to the priorities of the team and the business.

• Working knowledge of industrial protocols (e.g. Modbus, BACnet, DNP3, OPC UA, IEC 61850)
• Practical experience applying IEC 62443 and NCA OTCC
• Hands-on technical testing in OT or converged IT/OT environments: configuration reviews, firewall rule reviews and segmentation testing
• Network traffic capture and analysis skills (e.g. Wireshark, Zeek), including industrial protocols
• Experience with at least one OT monitoring platform (Nozomi, Claroty, Dragos or similar)
• Comfortable working on live operational sites under safety rules
• Experience with building management, district cooling, utilities, ride or show control, or smart-city IoT is preferred.
