TL;DR · OT Cybersecurity Consultant

As an OT Cybersecurity Consultant, you will join the security practice to lead hands-on engagements across industrial environments such as energy, manufacturing, and water utilities. You will assess, design, and implement security solutions for OT/ICS ecosystems while collaborating with engineers and operators to reduce risk without disrupting operations. Your daily work involves conducting assessments against frameworks like NERC CIP, IEC 62443, and NIST CSF, performing threat hunting in SCADA environments, and deploying tools such as Dragos, Claroty, Nozomi, RunZero, and NetRise. You will also manage network segmentation, asset inventory, and incident response while serving as a subject matter expert for new business pursuits. Required expertise includes industrial protocols like Modbus and DNP3, infrastructure components like data diodes and firewalls, and specialized knowledge of the Purdue Model to protect critical infrastructure.

What you'll do

  • Conduct OT/ICS security assessments against frameworks like NERC CIP, IEC 62443, and NIST CSF.
  • Evaluate client security posture across Purdue Model layers to identify gaps in network segmentation and asset inventory.
  • Deploy and configure OT-native security tools for network monitoring and asset discovery.
  • Perform threat hunting, indicator of compromise analysis, and incident response in SCADA environments.
  • Develop detailed security assessment reports, risk registers, and remediation roadmaps for clients.
  • Support the development of OT security programs including governance frameworks, policies, and procedures.
  • Serve as a subject matter expert on active pursuits by contributing to RFP responses and proposal content.
  • Contribute to the internal practice by creating reusable assets and methods for delivery excellence.

What we're looking for

  • Minimum 5 years of relevant experience in OT/ICS environments such as utilities, manufacturing, or power generation.
  • Minimum 3 years of hands-on experience with ICS technologies including SCADA, DCS, RTUs, PLCs, and industrial protocols.
  • Minimum 3 years of cybersecurity experience involving vulnerability management, identity and access management, and incident response in OT contexts.
  • Minimum 3 years of experience with common ICS/OT protocols like Modbus, DNP3, IEC 61850, and PROFINET.
  • Minimum 3 years of experience producing and presenting security deliverables and assessment reports to technical and executive audiences.
  • Minimum 5 years of consulting experience for Fortune/Global 1000 clients or critical infrastructure verticals.
  • Minimum 3 years of experience assessing against NERC CIP, IEC 62443, NIST CSF, or DOE C2M2 frameworks.
  • Experience deploying OT security sensor platforms (Dragos, Claroty, Nozomi) and network visibility tools (RunZero, NetRise).
  • Minimum 2 years of experience in OT/ICS network infrastructure including industrial firewalls and switches.
  • Minimum 2 years of experience in OT threat hunting or SOC operations in an industrial context.
  • Relevant certification such as GICSP, GRID, GCIP, CISSP, or equivalent.
  • Experience with embedded device analysis, firmware inspection, or industrial protocol reverse engineering (preferred).
  • Master's degree in cybersecurity, computer science, or a related field (preferred).
  • Bachelor's degree or equivalent; if an Associate's degree is held, at least 12 years of experience are required.
