- Oversee communication with vendors and other IT personnel for problem resolution
- Be responsible for troubleshooting network, hardware and software issues
- Be part of design and implementation of processes for ensuring efficient IT operations in an organization
- Communicate with internal stakeholders to identify their requirement and ensure their needs are met
What you need to be successful
- +10 years of working experience with OT or IT administration
- Experience with networking (firewalls, routers, switches)
- Experience with fundamentals of cybersecurity
- Experience with Windows and Linux administration
- Experience with virtual machines
It's an advantage to have:
- Degree in a relevant subject (Computer science or computing engineering)
- Experience as SCADA Engineer or in automation (platforms like Wonderware/AVEVA, PcVue, Ignition)
- Exposure to OT cybersecurity tools (Claroty, Nozomi, Tenable OT)
- Experience with project management
- Experience with network monitoring software
- Experience with programming languages or scripting
- Experience with industrial protocols (Modbus, IEC 60870-5-104, OPC UA)
- Familiarity with NIS2
Competencies needed:
- You are a versatile professional, comfortable working across multiple technical domains

- You succeed as part of a team and it comes naturally to you to collaborate and share knowledge
- Generalist mindset with the curiosity to go deep when needed
- You have good communication skills and are fluent in English (speaking and writing)
- Last, but not least, you must be able to work within an international team
What we'll hook you up with:
- Opportunity to join a reference business group with a strong international presence
