With a proud legacy and a sharp focus on future-ready, clean energy solutions, Fred.

Your key responsibilities will include

• Develop and implement technical and organisational security controls (IEC 62443, NIST, ISO 27001)

• Establish and manage access policies for the OT infrastructure and systems

• Design and maintain a robust OT network infrastructure, including segmentation, secure remote access, and monitoring

• Lead incident response in the event of cyberattacks or operational security events

• Conduct risk and vulnerability assessments, audits, and OT security planning

• Work closely with OEMs and vendors to ensure compliance and integration related to OT systems

• Define OT system requirements for new projects and support technology selection

• Serve as a strategic and hands-on advisor within the organisation on OT operation and security

• Stay updated on OT and cybersecurity developments and represent Fred. Olsen Renewables in relevant forums

Your qualifications

• A bachelor’s degree in IT, electrical engineering, automation, cybernetics, or a related technical field. Relevant work experience may substitute for formal education.

• Relevant experience from OT/SCADA operations and cybersecurity.

• Strong understanding of access management, authentication, logging, and compliance requirements for OT systems and infrastructure.

• Experience with relevant frameworks and standards (e.g. IEC 62443, NIST, ISO 27001)

• Knowledge of OT protocols (e.g., Modbus, serial communication), IP networking, and secure remote access

• Advantageous with experience from industrial automation, renewable energy, or critical infrastructure

• Strong communication skills -- fluent in English, and ideally with working knowledge of Norwegian

We think the right candidate has a hands-on and solution-oriented mindset --- someone who can set direction, advise, and take action when needed!
