  • Conduct cybersecurity risk assessments for SCADA and automation systems, identifying potential vulnerabilities.

  • Support commissioning and site acceptance testing, ensuring systems meet both functional and cybersecurity requirements.

  • Collaborate closely with Protection & Control, Grid Automation, and Cybersecurity teams to implement secure, compliant solutions.

  • Maintain up-to-date technical documentation, cybersecurity policies, and compliance reports.

  • Support intrusion detection and anomaly monitoring solutions for substation environments.

  • Ensure adherence to IEC 62443, NIS2, and other applicable cybersecurity standards and regulations.

Key Requirements:

  • Proven experience in SCADA engineering, with exposure to cybersecurity in industrial control systems (ICS).

  • Deep understanding of SCADA system architecture, RTUs, HMIs, and secure data communication protocols.

  • Proficiency in IEC 61850 configuration and secure integration methodologies.

  • Hands-on experience with SCADA platforms (e.g., Grid Automation tools, Siemens WinCC, ABB MicroSCADA).

  • Strong knowledge of cybersecurity frameworks (e.g., IEC 62443, ISO/IEC 27001) as applied to OT environments.

  • Experience implementing firewalls, secure remote access, intrusion detection, and network segmentation in OT systems.

  • Strong analytical and troubleshooting skills.

  • Ability to work both independently and collaboratively in a multidisciplinary team.

  • Willingness to travel for site visits and commissioning support across Europe.

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Experience with substation automation in high-voltage or offshore wind projects.

  • Familiarity with NERC CIP, NIS2 directive, or regional cybersecurity regulations for energy infrastructure.

  • Relevant certifications (e.g., GICSP, CISSP, IEC 62443 Cybersecurity Expert).

  • Background in electrical engineering or systems engineering.

  • Fluency in English; additional European languages (especially Polish or German) are a plus.
