  • Maintain system reliability by validating process data, supporting historian databases, generating reports, and assisting with operational and regulatory reporting requirements.
  • Support OT cybersecurity activities including configuration management, patching, backups, access control, vulnerability management, firewall coordination, and compliance with NIST SP 800-82, RMF, and local cybersecurity requirements.
  • Review and maintain technical documentation including electrical drawings, P&IDs, network diagrams, system architecture, and as-built documentation.
  • Support testing and validation of PLC logic, HMI modifications, firmware updates, communications changes, and system enhancements prior to implementation.
  • Coordinate with Public Works personnel, engineering teams, cybersecurity staff, maintenance personnel, environmental stakeholders, and contractors during troubleshooting, upgrades, inspections, and project execution.
  • Provide technical guidance and knowledge transfer to operators, electricians, technicians, and other stakeholders on SCADA operations, alarms, trends, and system functionality.

Required Qualifications
  • Experience supporting industrial control systems (ICS), SCADA, and operational technology environments within water/wastewater or similar utility operations.
  • Working knowledge of relational databases (MS SQL, MySQL) and process historians.
  • Experience performing software, firmware, and security updates for PLCs, HMIs, SCADA platforms, and industrial control equipment.
  • Experience calibrating and troubleshooting field instrumentation including flow meters, pressure transmitters, level sensors, and dissolved oxygen probes.
  • Solid understanding of electrical fundamentals including 4–20mA instrumentation, low-voltage DC systems, and AC motor controls.
  • Ability to read and interpret electrical schematics, P&IDs, control drawings, and blueprints.
  • Understanding of water treatment processes, hydraulics, industrial automation, and applicable EPA reporting requirements.
  • Ability to work effectively with operators, engineers, maintenance teams, cybersecurity personnel, regulators, and contractors in a fast-paced operational environment.
  • Applicants must be U.S. citizens and able to obtain and maintain the required U.S. Government security clearance.
