Cybersecurity Engineer

To solve complex challenges, you need to challenge the status-quo. 

At GHD Advisory we are invested in creating sustainable commercial outcomes with clients driving change in water, energy and urbanization. 

Join a team committed to solving complex challenges across the value chain, from capital deployment to asset management, enabling resilience, growth and sustainability. 
 

Together, we’ll help create a future for generations to come.

 Who are we looking for?   

Operational Technology (OT) infrastructure is vital to the operation of critical infrastructure and is often highly interconnected, containing mutually dependent systems. OT cybersecurity considerations are being integrated into our client’s systems and there is significant need to provide support as they secure their OT systems and networks for reliable and safe operations.

This Cybersecurity Engineer will be an integral part of GHD’s Critical Infrastructure Cybersecurity (CIC) Group, with a strong role inf providing OT cybersecurity design support for GHD’s core engineering services in the water/wastewater, energy, transportation, and building sectors. The successful candidate will also have an understanding of both “IT” and “OT” cybersecurity to be able to translate, communicate and implement best practices across both environments that are increasingly interconnected. 

This position requires the need to understand how to apply industry standard assessment methodologies, assist clients in establishing governance policies, determine and establish OT cybersecurity design requirements, and develop OT cybersecurity design documentation. The candidate should be comfortable working “on the ground floor” of security implementation, as well as adept at communicating with senior management on the various aspects required to create a strong cybersecurity posture for an organization.

This position is available in anywhere in the West region, with the ability to work in a hybrid office/remote environment. The position requires some travel to the client during key project milestones.

No VISA sponsorship is available for this role at this time.
