  • 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

  • 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
