We are looking for a skilled OT Network Architect for at project at our client who is vital part of the energy sector. The OT Network Architect assess and Design the enhancement of OT network Architecture, focusing on WAN environments and alignment / harmonization with IT WAN strategies.
Key Deliverables (what you will produce)
– AS-IS documentation: Site-type WAN topology diagrams and narratives based on the existing LLD.
– Gap analysis: Identified OT Network and ID ADD SD-WAN gaps that would need to be covered in the Network ADD (Tetra, island mode, IEC protocols, NIS2/IEC 62443 compliance).
– To-BE contribution: OT requirements integrated into the high-level new (SD)-WAN design; feasibility assessment for offshore/onshore deployment.
– Operational transition plan: Training needs, SLA handover, change windows, acceptance criteria for go-live, and site sequencing.
– Value assessment: Clear articulation of OT operational value (downtime reduction, simplified operations, compliance, safety).
– Pros/cons analysis: Strategic and operational trade-offs including risk of disruption, compliance costs, and change management implications.
Skills:
– Technical expertise in OT networks (SCADA, IEC-based protocols, DMVPN/SD-WAN awareness).
– Standards knowledge: Familiarity with IEC 62443, NIS2, and IEC 62264.
– Design experience: Ability to document complex network topologies and translate them into feasible operational designs.
– Operational understanding: maintenance cycles, and critical infrastructure requirements.
– Stakeholder skills: Can bridge IT architects, OT engineers, and business priorities; translate technical concepts into operational value.
– Risk & compliance mindset: Ability to identify risks, propose mitigations, and consider training/change management implications.
