Senior OT Incident Engineer

Imagine a future where you safeguard the stability and resilience of operational technology systems that underpin offshore and onshore renewable energy generation. 

Join us in this role where you’ll take a leading role in monitoring, triaging, and resolving OT and SCADA incidents across global wind assets. You’ll coordinate incident response across disciplines, drive root cause analysis, and strengthen operational resilience to ensure safe, secure, and reliable energy production. As part of our 24/7 operational setup, you’ll also join an on-duty rotation for one week each month, giving you the opportunity to take ownership when it matters most and help keep our assets running safely and reliably around the clock.

Welcome to OT Guard & Service Management
You’ll be part of OT Guard & Service Management where you, together with your colleagues, will support offshore and onshore assets by ensuring stable, secure, and compliant OT and SCADA operations across regions and time zones. You’ll collaborate closely with control rooms, cybersecurity, engineering teams, and suppliers to manage incidents and maintain high operational standards.

As a team, we we collaborate closely, act with integrity, and share knowledge openly to deliver safe, resilient, and high‑performing operations, even in high‑pressure situations.

You’ll play an important role in:

• monitoring OT system health, security events, and operational alerts across wind assets, substations, and onshore facilities
• triaging and responding to OT and SCADA incidents in close coordination with control room, cybersecurity, and engineering teams
• performing root cause analysis and documenting preventive actions to reduce repeat incidents
• conducting remote diagnostics and coordinating field or supplier interventions when required
• maintaining accurate incident records, handovers, and runbooks to support 24/7 operations
• contributing to continuous improvement initiatives that strengthen system resilience, supplier performance, and operational standards.

To succeed in the role, you:

• have experience working with OT or SCADA systems in critical infrastructure environments, or equivalent experience
• understand industrial control system architectures and protocols, such as IEC 60870‑5‑104, Modbus/TCP, DNP3, OPC UA, or equivalent experience
• are confident troubleshooting networks, operating systems, and system integrations in complex OT landscapes
• communicate clearly and collaborate effectively across disciplines, regions, and suppliers
• remain structured and calm when handling incidents in changing operational conditions
• hold a degree in engineering, automation, computer science, cybersecurity, or equivalent experience.

Maybe you’ve read the above and can see you have some transferable skills, even though they don’t quite match all the points. If you think you can bring something to the team, we still encourage you to apply.
