Manage IT and OT network infrastructure at hydropower facilities, ensuring high availability and reliability. Implement network security controls (ACLs, segmentation, IDS/IPS) and support vulnerability scanning and remediation. Review proposed system and infrastructure changes for security, compliance, and architectural impact.
Provide Tier 1/Tier 2 support for hardware, software, network connectivity, VPN, and remote access issues. Maintain accurate ticket documentation and contribute to knowledge base articles.

Education and Experience:
- Bachelor’s degree in information security, information systems, computer science, engineering, or a related field, or equivalent experience.

- Working knowledge of the NERC CIP compliance lifecycle, including self-certification, self-reporting, mitigation, and audit.
Hands-on experience in network administration and/or IT support, ideally in a multi-site or critical-infrastructure environment.
Regulatory compliance/audit experience is a plus; working knowledge of the NERC CIP compliance lifecycle is a strong plus.

Communication and Collaboration:
- Strong written communication and documentation discipline to produce audit-ready evidence and clear compliance reporting.
