    • Layer 3 networking (routing, VLANs, subnetting)
    • VPN technologies (IPSec, site-to-site tunnels)
    • NAT and firewall policy design
  • Experience performing firewall migrations and cutovers in production environments
  • Ability to work independently in remote and field environments
  • Strong troubleshooting and documentation skills

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience working in utilities, energy, or critical infrastructure environments
  • Familiarity with substation networks and OT/ICS environments
  • Knowledge of security and compliance frameworks relevant to utilities (e.g., NERC CIP)
  • Experience with FortiManager and FortiAnalyzer
  • Relevant certifications (e.g., NSE 4/5/7, CCNP Security, PCNSE)

Work Structure

  • On-Site Requirement: ~1 day per location for hardware replacement and initial configuration
