• Guide and mentor team members to achieve individual and team goals.
• Monitor and manage team budgets and expenditures as required.
• Serve as the main point of contact for team-related inquiries and issues.
• Coordinate engineering resource planning, review and advance projects, and provide mentorship and guidance to project teams.

We are looking for a committed and talented individual with:

• Degree level qualification in Cyber Security, Computer Science, Electrical and Electronic Engineering or a related field (or equivalent professional qualifications and/or experience).
• Proven experience in cyber security management, specifically within an OT environment.
• In-depth knowledge of OT systems, industrial control systems (ICS), SCADA and DCS technologies.
• Strong understanding of cyber security frameworks and standards, such as IEC
  62443, NIST, CIS and others.
• Excellent analytical, problem‑solving and decision‑making skills.
