- Help drive security improvements across cloud, network and endpoint technologies.

What you'll bring

- 3+ years' experience in Cyber Security, Network Security or Infrastructure Engineering.
- Exposure to OT,ICS or critical infrastructure environments (or a genuine desire to move into OT Security).




- Experience with technologies such as Palo Alto, Fortinet, Microsoft Defender, Sentinel, Splunk, Cisco or similar.
- Solid understanding of networking fundamentals (routing, switching, firewalls and segmentation).
- Knowledge of security frameworks such as the Essential Eight, NIST or IEC 62443 is highly regarded.
- Excellent communication skills and the ability to work with both technical and operational stakeholders.

What you'll learn

- Gain hands‑on experience securing Operational Technology (OT) and Industrial Control Systems.
