## Description

We are looking for a Cyber Security Engineer to strengthen and modernize secure infrastructure across enterprise and industrial environments within chemicals manufacturing operations. This contract position with a path to a permanent role is based in New Jersey, and will focus on shaping resilient architecture for both IT and OT systems while ensuring strong alignment with cybersecurity and compliance expectations. The ideal candidate brings deep experience designing secure, scalable platforms and can partner effectively with technical and business teams to support safe, reliable operations.

Responsibilities:

 * Create and evolve future-state architecture for infrastructure spanning networks, servers, virtualization platforms, cloud services, identity systems, and related core technologies.

 * Develop secure and dependable solutions for corporate and plant environments that balance performance, uptime, and operational safety needs.

 * Establish technical standards, reusable design patterns, and reference architectures to guide consistent implementation across IT and OT domains.

 * Work closely with enterprise architects, application teams, operations technology teams, and cybersecurity partners to align infrastructure decisions across the organization.

 * Design and strengthen infrastructure that supports industrial control environments, including plant networks, programmable control systems, and connected operational technologies.

 * Integrate security-first principles into infrastructure planning by defining controls for segmentation, access management, monitoring, logging, vulnerability reduction, and incident readiness.

 * Contribute to risk reviews, security assessments, and audit activities by identifying architectural gaps and recommending practical remediation strategies.

 * Maintain clear technical diagrams, architecture records, and supporting documentation while advising stakeholders during project reviews and technology evaluations.

 * Guide and mentor infrastructure engineers, promote knowledge sharing, and assess emerging technologies that can improve resilience, protection, and cost efficiency.
