• Lead/participate in incident response, cyber event triage, and post-incident reviews; maintain playbooks and test recovery procedures.
• Own technical evidence for network/server controls (configs, logs, diagrams, test records) and support internal and external audits as SME.

Monitoring, Telemetry & Change Management

• Deploy and maintain monitoring/observability across servers, network devices, applications, and site communications.
• Implement configuration management, baseline verification and change management processes that adhere to NERC CIP (including approvals, testing, back-out plans, and evidence).
• Maintain accurate OT inventories (hardware, software, firmware), network diagrams, data flow maps, and access lists; ensure audit-ready documentation.

Operations & Support

• Provide support for OT network/server issues, perform root cause analysis, and drive corrective actions.
• Schedule and execute maintenance windows, firmware/patch cycles, and lifecycle refresh plans.
