IT network and Security Engineer

How to contribute to our vision

This role is created to support a HVDC projects within the Grid Technologies Control & Protection engineering team. The primary business aim is to provide specialized IT network and security engineering for High-Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) control systems, ensuring robust and secure project delivery. To meet this objective, the role is structured around three core areas: IT Network & Security Engineering for the design and implementation of the system's communication backbone; System Integration & Verification to ensure all components function correctly according to technical and security requirements; and Project Coordination to manage stakeholder communication and documentation throughout the project lifecycle. Given the focus on industrial control systems, the ideal candidate will possess advanced knowledge of network engineering for industrial applications (e.g., SCADA), IT security standards such as IEC 62443 and NERC-CIP, and hands-on experience configuring network hardware. This P3 Senior Professional role requires the ability to work independently on complex technical challenges.

What You Need To Make a Difference
