Your role
The IT/OT Convergence Engineer is a hands‑on technical delivery role within an IT/OT convergence and SCADA consultancy, responsible for engineering, configuring, and supporting operational technology and industrial network environments at enterprise scale. The role combines practical OT engineering delivery with a clear development pathway toward emerging IT/OT convergence technologies—such as industrial data platforms, OPC UA, MQTT, edge computing, and cloud integration—supporting the long‑term evolution of digital industrial architectures across multi‑site water and utilities organisations.
Key responsibilities
- Execute hands‑on engineering activities across OT, SCADA, and industrial network environments, including configuration, testing, commissioning, and fault resolution
- Support the deployment and integration of IT/OT connectivity solutions, including switches, firewalls, secure remote access, and site‑to‑enterprise data flows
- Assist with the implementation and validation of modern OT data exchange mechanisms (e.g. OPC UA, MQTT) under guidance from senior engineers
- Participate in site and enterprise engineering activities, working safely within live operational environments
- Contribute to the development and use of standard engineering designs, build guides, configuration templates, and reusable patterns
- Produce and maintain accurate as‑built documentation, network diagrams, and configuration records
- Actively build capability in emerging IT/OT convergence technologies, including edge, cloud, and industrial data platforms, through delivery participation and structured learning
Your profile
You’ll bring practical, hands‑on experience working with OT systems such as SCADA platforms, PLCs, RTUs, and associated field infrastructure, alongside a solid grounding in industrial networking and cyber‑secure operations. You’re comfortable diagnosing and resolving issues in live operational environments, have a good awareness of modern IT/OT convergence technologies, and are keen to continue developing your expertise. Experience in regulated or asset‑intensive sectors such as water or utilities will be an advantage.
Key strengths
- Hands‑on OT systems and industrial networking experience, with a strong focus on reliable and secure operations
- Problem‑solving mindset with awareness of modern IT/OT technologies and OT cyber security principles
