Sr. Engineer, Operational Tech Cyber Security

The position of Senior Engineer, OT Cyber Security is a part of the Engineering Services Department and a team of engineers that support the operations of Iroquois’ natural gas pipeline system. This position will be responsible for managing the Operational Technology (OT) cyber security program. This includes developing and implementing strategies to ensure all OT devices are protected from cyber threats. OT devices include PLCs, RTUs, HMIs, Engineering Workstations, and network communication devices. This person will work with operations personnel, engineers, and IT personnel to coordinate activities, share information, troubleshoot issues, and prepare failure analysis. This position may be required to supervise contractors and/or consultants on some projects and will spend time at field locations., This position will also require a strong electrical and control (E&C) engineering background for providing expertise necessary for design and enhancement and for operational troubleshooting of E&C equipment primarily at Iroquois Meter Stations, Valve Sites, and Compressor Stations. This includes administration and programming of station and unit programmable logic controllers (PLCs)for Solar and Siemens turbine packages (Allen BradleyPLC 5 and Control Logix Processors and RS Logix programming software). The position works with vendors and consultants on the design of new control systems and on troubleshooting existing systems. In addition, this position will provide support for installation, programming, and maintenance for remote terminal units (RTUs) unit programmable logic controllers (PLCs), and flow computers at valve sites and meter stations. This position will also lead the E&C team weekly review and prioritize issue response, while mentoring junior E&C engineers.
