OT specialist

Are you experienced in OT cybersecurity and industrial network architecture? Do you enjoy designing secure networks, solving

complex technical challenges, and turning cybersecurity best practices into practical solutions?

Join us as an OT Specialist and take an active role in shaping how we secure, standardize, and manage our growing portfolio of

renewable energy assets across Europe.

Alight is an entrepreneurial renewable energy company on a mission to decarbonize the grid by helping energy-intensive businesses

transition to solar power.

Founded in 2013, we have helped shape the Nordic solar industry through some of the region’s largest solar installations,

innovative financing solutions, and pioneering hybrid solar and battery energy storage (BESS) projects.

As a leading independent power producer (IPP) in the Nordics, we own and operate the assets that generate renewable energy. This

means our operational technology (OT) systems are a critical part of the energy infrastructure we manage—and protecting them is

essential to keeping our solar parks secure, reliable, and operational.

As our OT Specialist, you’ll help build and strengthen the cybersecurity foundations of our solar parks. Working closely with our

existing OT Specialist, you’ll take shared ownership of OT security across our portfolio, from improving the architecture of

existing installations to designing secure networks for new projects.

This is a technically focused role with a strong emphasis on network architecture and security. You’ll work with industrial

networks, firewalls, network segmentation, secure remote access, SCADA systems, and the wider OT environment, ensuring that

security is built into our assets from the outset and continuously improved throughout their lifecycle.

You’ll divide your time between strategic improvements, project work, and operational support. This means collaborating with

engineering and project teams on new installations while working with Asset Management to strengthen the security and resilience

of existing sites.

The role is open to candidates based in Sweden, Finland, Norway, or Denmark, with flexible remote and hybrid working options. Our

headquarters are in Stockholm, with a smaller office in Helsinki. The role also involves occasional travel to our project sites

and solar parks across the Nordics.

• Design, review, and improve network architectures for existing and new solar parks, including SCADA systems, dataloggers, and

other OT components.

• Work with Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) teams to ensure security is integrated into new projects from the

design stage.

• Identify, assess, and prioritize vulnerabilities across OT devices, software, and networks, coordinating remediation and

patching activities.

• Contribute to security monitoring, incident response, and the development of practical recovery procedures for scenarios

affecting site operations.

• Collaborate with Asset Management, IT, Engineering, and external partners to balance security improvements with operational

reliability.

We’re looking for someone who understands how industrial networks are built and secured, and who can translate that knowledge into

robust, scalable solutions.

You may currently work in OT cybersecurity, industrial networking, SCADA infrastructure, automation, or network engineering within

the energy, utilities, or industrial sectors. Whatever your background, you’re comfortable looking at an industrial network

architecture, understanding how its components communicate, identifying weaknesses, and determining how to improve its security.

• At least 3 years of relevant experience in OT cybersecurity, industrial networking, or securing technical infrastructure within

the energy, utilities, or industrial sectors.

• Strong knowledge of network architecture, including the ability to interpret network diagrams and understand how firewalls,

switches, and connected devices interact.

• Experience designing, implementing, or securing industrial networks, ideally involving SCADA systems, dataloggers, or other OT

infrastructure.

• The ability to communicate technical concepts and security risks clearly to colleagues and stakeholders with different levels

of technical expertise.

• Experience with centralized privileged access management (PAM), OT asset inventories, or configuration management databases

(CMDBs).
