• Document all investigations, findings, and actions in the SOC ticketing system.
• Participate in ongoing training, tabletop exercises, and simulations related to OT security.
• Stay current on NERC‑CIP (2/3), NIST CSF, the Purdue Model, ISO 27001, and other relevant OT security frameworks.

Required Skills & Experience

• High school diploma required; bachelor’s in IT, CS, cybersecurity, or related field preferred.
• 2–4 years of experience in cybersecurity.
• 1–2 years of experience with OT/SCADA environments is highly desirable
  .
• Certifications such as Network+, Security+, or CYSA+ are a plus.
• Foundational knowledge of industrial protocols (DNP3, Modbus, IEC 104).
• Experience with SIEM, SOAR, and IIDS platforms.
• Strong analytical ability and excellent written/verbal communication skills.
• Ability to work effectively in a 24/7 shift-based SOC
  , including occasional after‑hours or teammate coverage.
