OT / SCADA Engineer (Industrial Networks) North East Scotland (hybrid role) £63,000 + bonus (flexible for the right person) Working on a role that sits much closer to industrial networks and OT communications than a traditional SCADA position. The focus is on keeping critical OT network infrastructure running reliably across operational energy assets - supporting SCADA systems rather than owning them, and working closely with vendors delivering comms and fibre networks offshore. If your background sits somewhere between networks, control systems and operational technology, this could be worth a look. The Opportunity This role supports critical operational systems across offshore assets, helping ensure reliable communications, robust control infrastructure and secure, resilient performance. You’ll be involved in: • Managing and supporting industrial / OT communications networks, • Working with contractors responsible for fibre and offshore comms systems, • Supporting SCADA and control system infrastructure (OEM-led), • Ensuring reliability and performance across operational assets, • Troubleshooting and improving network / systems performance, • Supporting wider OT systems across a growing portfolio There is also scope to support wider assets across a growing international portfolio, so there's progression and long-term development potential. Why This Role? What makes this stand out: • Broad technical remit, not a narrow support role, • Opportunity to influence and improve systems, • Smaller team environment where you can genuinely affect change, • Exposure across multiple assets and technologies, • Clear progression as the portfolio grows It could suit someone looking to move from a larger, more siloed business into a role with wider ownership and visibility. What We’re Looking For You're likely experienced in utilities, renewables, power or oil & gas environments with some combination of: • SCADA or industrial control systems, • OT / industrial networking, • Communications infrastructure, • System troubleshooting and technical support, • Cyber/security awareness within operational environments If your experience sits somewhere between networks, controls and OT systems, this could be worth a conversation. If this sounds of interest, or you’d like a confidential discussion, get in touch today.
