  • Support implementation of procedural and policy changes across sites to improve operational consistency and compliance.
  • Contribute to projects spanning systems integration, system administration, and field operations with moderate to high impact.
  • Stay up to date with industry standards, regulatory requirements, and emerging technologies in ICS and critical infrastructure protection.
Basic Qualifications

  • Bachelor's or Master's degree and 5-8 years of relevant experience.
  • Proven experience supporting Industrial Control Systems (ICS) in high-availability or mission-critical environments.
  • Strong background in mechanical, electrical, or HVAC systems, with hands-on expertise integrating these with ICS platforms.
  • Demonstrated ability to create and deliver technical training focused on system uptime and incident management.
  • Excellent communication and technical documentation skills.
  • Strong vendor management capabilities, including coordinating technical support and managing system enhancements.
  • Extensive experience with control system configuration and management. Preferably with Ignition.
Preferred Qualifications
  • Experience with Ignition
  • Experience with Tridium Niagara Framework (N4)
  • Experience in system administration, systems integration, or network installation in critical infrastructure settings.
  • Familiarity with Microsoft Windows environments and relevant industrial automation software.
  • Working knowledge of configuration management, document control, and system lifecycle support.
  • Certifications such as CompTIA Network+, Security+, CCNA, or similar.
  • Familiarity with ITIL frameworks or other service management practices.
  • Experience with policy implementation, procedure development, and cross-team collaboration in large-scale operations.
