OT System Engineer

Systems Engineer OT Security Platforms

Location: Abu Dhabi, UAE

A rapidly growing technology organisation is looking for a hands-on Systems Engineer to lead the deployment of OT cybersecurity platforms across critical infrastructure projects in the GCC.

This is not a consulting or advisory role. We are looking for a delivery-focused engineer who can install, integrate, commission, and formally hand over complex OT security solutions within live industrial environments.

You will play a key role across government, oil & gas, utilities, and power sector engagements working directly on high-security, nationally significant infrastructure.

What You'll Be Doing

• Leading full lifecycle OT security platform deployments (installation integration FAT/SAT commissioning handover)
• Integrating platforms with network infrastructure, data historians, and SIEM tools (e.g. Splunk)
• Configuring passive OT asset discovery and validating data integrity
• Supporting SOC integration including alert workflows and detection tuning
• Acting as the primary on-site technical lead across multiple client engagements
• Producing all technical documentation including test plans, integration baselines, and as-built packs

What We're Looking For

• 57 years experience deploying technology platforms in live OT/IT environments
• Strong experience running FAT, SAT, commissioning, and formal acceptance processes
• Experience integrating OT security or industrial monitoring solutions
• Understanding of OT network architecture (Purdue Model, segmentation, DMZ)
• Knowledge of industrial protocols (Modbus, DNP3, IEC 61850, OPC-UA, Profinet)
• Experience working in high-security or critical infrastructure environments

Highly advantageous:

• Exposure to AI-driven security platforms or next-gen SOC solutions
• GCC delivery experience
• IEC 62443 awareness
• Certifications such as CISSP, CISM, GICSP

The Right Person

You are delivery-first. You take ownership from kickoff through to signed client acceptance. You are technically rigorous, comfortable operating independently on-site, and able to manage multiple infrastructure projects without compromising quality.
