Industrial IT/OT Engineer

We're partnering with a specialist energy operator that manages some of Australia's most critical renewable and power assets. They're looking for an Industrial IT/OT Engineer to bridge the gap between networking, security, and industrial control systems.

This role is perfect for someone who wants variety: one day you're deep in firewall configs and subnet design, the next you're supporting SCADA or embedded Linux devices that keep remote energy systems online. It's a rare opportunity to work across both IT and OT, in environments that directly support communities, industry, and critical infrastructure.

What you'll be doing:

  • Take ownership of network design and management — configuring MikroTik firewalls, VPNs, and multi-subnet environments
  • Work hands-on with embedded Linux devices used in SCADA, generator controllers, and IoT systems, as well as cloud-hosted servers on AWS
  • Strengthen cybersecurity and connectivity across sites with multiple access points, wireless links, and critical infrastructure dependencies
  • Partner with engineers and field staff to solve real-world challenges, translating complex IT/OT issues into clear, practical solutions

What we're looking for:

  • Experience with IP networking, routing, and firewall management
  • Familiarity with Linux systems and embedded devices
  • Awareness of OT / control system environments (SCADA, power systems, or similar)
  • Strong problem-solving skills and ability to explain technical issues clearly
  • Interest in cybersecurity and network hardening

Why this role?

  • Unique exposure to both IT and OT in the renewable energy sector
  • Projects that support communities, critical infrastructure, and sustainability
  • Mix of hands-on technical work and collaboration with engineering teams
  • Be part of a growing business at the forefront of Australia's clean energy transition

If you're an IT professional with a curiosity for OT—or an engineer who wants to strengthen your networking and cybersecurity skills—this is the role that connects both worlds.
