 * Scripting or automation skills (such as Python or Ansible)
 * Background in oil and gas, energy, utilities or manufacturing

## Description

A large integrated energy company is standing up a new dedicated team to bring structure and security to how artificial intelligence is adopted across its operations. We are looking for a network engineer who can support the operational technology (OT) side of that effort, helping teams connect AI use cases to industrial environments safely, reliably and quickly. You will be a hands on engineer who understands both how industrial networks work and how modern AI workflows depend on them.

What You Will Do

 * Design, configure and support routing, switching and network security for industrial and operational technology environments
 * Partner with OT engineers and operations teams to understand their data and connectivity needs, then deliver secure network paths for AI and analytics use cases
 * Help establish standards and guardrails so AI initiatives connect to plant, field and edge systems in a consistent and secure way
 * Support segmentation, secure remote access and data flows between operational networks, edge locations and cloud platforms
 * Troubleshoot connectivity and performance issues, document designs, and contribute to network changes and rollouts
 * Rotate across other network projects as priorities shift, with occasional travel to operating sites
