Job description
SOLV Energy is a leading provider of infrastructure services to the power industry, designing, building and maintaining utility scale solar, battery storage and high voltage substation projects nationwide.
Job Description Summary:
The Senior Cybersecurity Engineer is a senior, hands-on individualcontributor responsible for the design, implementation, hardening, and continuous improvement of security controls across SOLV Energy's enterprise technology environment, spanning the Azure / Microsoft 365 cloud supporting the Corporate business and the onpremise, NERC CIP-regulated Operational Technology (OT) environments supporting Operations & Maintenance (O&M) and Engineering, Procurement & Construction (EPC). This position combines security architecture with engineering execution: translating risk into actionable, secure-by-design solutions and building, deploying, and operating the controls that protect IT and OT assets. The Senior Cybersecurity Engineer also serves as the Cybersecurity lead for merger, acquisition, and divestiture (M&A) activity, performing technical security due diligence on acquisition targets and integrating acquired IT/OT environments, generation assets, and engineering teams into SOLV's security program. As a member of a lean SOC, this role operates with significant autonomy, partners closely with the Cybersecurity Engineer, Cybersecurity Analysts, SOC Manager and Director of Cybersecurity. This role acts as a senior technical subject matter expert across security architecture, OT security, and incident response.
This role is fully remote. Specific location details and expectations will be discussed during the interview process.
Job Description:
*This job description reflects management's assignment of essential functions; it does not prescribe or restrict the tasks that may be assigned.
Position Responsibilities and Duties:
- Design, implement, and maintain scalable security architectures and controls across IT, OT, cloud (Azure / M365), infrastructure, and application environments, balancing measurable risk reduction with operational reliability and end-user functionality.
- Lead security architecture and infrastructure reviews for new and existing systems, providing secure-by-design recommendations and translating risk into prioritized, actionable roadmaps.
- Manage, develop, deploy, and support advanced security solutions for both cloud and on-premise environments, including Microsoft Azure and, where applicable, Amazon Web Services (AWS).
- Lead cross-functional security initiatives from planning and design through implementation, ensuring measurable risk reduction and stakeholder alignment.
- Drive innovation, automation, orchestration, and integration across the security toolset to improve detection, response, and operational efficiency.
- Lead OT/ICS security architecture and engineering for a NERC CIP-regulated environment, including IT/OT segmentation aligned to the Purdue Model and ISA/IEC 62443, secure remote access, and monitoring of OT assets.
- Design and implement OT-specific controls and visibility (asset inventory, network monitoring, secure data flows) that respect the availability and safety constraints of generation and control systems.
- Partner with OT Engineering and field operations to harden control systems, evaluate vendor and integrator security, and support NERC CIP compliance evidence, walkthroughs, and audits.
- Serve as the cybersecurity lead for merger, acquisition, and divestiture activity, performing technical security due diligence on target companies, project portfolios, and generation/OT assets.
- Assess the security posture, risk exposure, and remediation needs of acquisition targets across both IT and OT, and develop integration plans to onboard acquired environments, identities, and assets into SOLV's security program and monitoring.
- Identify NERC CIP and other regulatory scoping implications of newly acquired or divested assets, and coordinate remediation and integration activities with IT, OT, Engineering, and Compliance teams.
- Act as a senior subject matter expert for incident response and threat mitigation across application, network, endpoint, identity, cloud, and OT domains; lead complex technical investigations and forensic collection.
- Develop and manage a comprehensive vulnerability management program across IT and OT, including regular assessments, risk-based remediation planning, and tracking of vulnerabilities to timely resolution.
- Partner with the SOC team on log source onboarding, detection engineering, and alert tuning to ensure detection coverage across both IT and OT environments.
- Collaborate with the Corporate IT team, Operational Technology, and Business Applications teams to ensure the security architecture supports both existing and planned initiatives, with a focus on scalability and security.
- Collaborate with and mentor the SecOps team, and provide education and training to process/control owners to deepen their understanding of technology control frameworks and their responsibilities.
- Serve as a senior SME supporting complex security projects or sub-projects, owning initiatives end-to-end from concept through implementation.
- Generate detailed reports and technical documentation for the SecOps team, providing insights and recommendations for continuous improvement.
- Contribute to incident response planning, risk assessment, and security strategy as a senior technical resource.
- Maintain current awareness of emerging threats, vulnerabilities, and detection techniques relevant to cloud, identity, endpoint, and the renewable energy / OT sector.
- Partner with software development and engineering teams to embed secure coding and data storage practices throughout the Secure Software Development Lifecycle (SSDLC).
