About the Role

Just imagine a future with us...

Aurecon is a design, engineering and advisory company, but not as you know it!

Drawing on our deep pool of technical and advisory expertise, we co-create innovative solutions with our clients to some of the world's most complex challenges. And through a range of unique creative processes and skills, we work to re-imagine, shape and design a better future.

What will you do?

As part of our Asset Management & Performance (AM&P) team, you will provide independent OT cybersecurity advisory and assurance services across renewable energy, rail and facilities projects — primarily greenfield energy developments and Owner’s Engineer (OE) engagements.

You’ll be involved across the full project lifecycle — from supplier selection through to post-commissioning — ensuring cybersecurity is embedded from day one.

This is an advisory role. You won’t be a gatekeeper. Instead, you’ll provide technical leadership, risk insight and architectural guidance to ensure secure, resilient operational environments.

Your responsibilities will include:

  • Reviewing OT network architectures and segmentation strategies
  • Assessing remote access solutions and monitoring integrations
  • Evaluating vendor and system integrator deliverables
  • Identifying cyber risks early to reduce downstream remediation
  • Translating enterprise IT security requirements into practical OT-aligned controls
  • Supporting compliance with SOCI and evolving regulatory obligations
  • Coordinating across IT security, OT engineering teams, suppliers and integrators

You’ll ensure cybersecurity controls align with safety, reliability and availability requirements critical to energy infrastructure.

What can you bring to the team?

You’re passionate about securing critical infrastructure and understand the unique challenges of OT environments.

We’re looking for someone with:

  • Strong experience in OT cybersecurity within energy, rail, utilities or critical infrastructure
  • Deep understanding of OT architectures, industrial networks and segmentation principles
  • Experience advising across project lifecycles (design through operations)
  • Familiarity with SOCI obligations and industry cybersecurity standards
  • Ability to identify risk and provide practical, commercially grounded recommendations
  • Confidence engaging senior stakeholders, engineers, IT teams and vendors
  • Comfort working in complex, evolving and ambiguous environments

Most importantly, you bring sound judgement, technical credibility and a collaborative mindset.

Our Aurecon Attributes describe the types of people we bring together for our clients. We don't expect you to have all eight of the attributes, but one that is unique to you.

Diversity is at the core of everything we do. We work together to create a culture based on respect, trust, and inclusiveness. Our differences are what fuel our creativity.

Finally, we value that each of our team members brings something different to Aurecon. We look for people who have had a broad range of experiences throughout their career and can demonstrate how they have worked as part of a team to bring ideas to life.
