OT Security Consultant at Packetlabs focusing on security for Operational Technology environments. Responsible for risk assessment, architecture review, and client advisory in high-stakes systems.
Responsibilities:
- Security Architecture Reviews
- Perform holistic tabletop reviews covering both technical and non-technical risk across OT environments, without engaging in high-risk manual or automated activity
- Analyze for areas of negative impact, high risk, and single points of failure (SPOF) within sensitive, legacy networks
- Apply structured judgment to identify where risk is concentrated and where controls are missing
- Adapt review depth and approach to the operational realities of each client environment
- OT Risk Identification & Assessment
- Identify vulnerabilities and weaknesses across Operational Technology environments, including Industrial Control Systems (ICS), SCADA, and field devices
- Assess legacy and sensitive networks where conventional testing methods carry unacceptable operational risk
- Distinguish between theoretical and operationally relevant risk to keep findings actionable
- Prove impact where appropriate, exercising restraint where the environment demands it
- Client Advisory & Program Improvement
- Support OT clients with security program improvements, identifying which critical controls are needed
- Refine testing scope collaboratively as engagements proceed and the environment becomes clearer
- Translate technical findings into guidance that clients can act on across both technical and leadership audiences
- Build client confidence through credibility, clear communication, and operational awareness
- Methodology & Continuous Improvement
- Contribute to the maturity of Packetlabs' OT testing methodology and practice
- Stay current on OT threats, attack techniques, and defensive controls
- Share knowledge with the broader team to minimize blind spots and strengthen collective capability
- Help raise the standard of OT security work across the firm
Requirements:
- A graduate of an Information Security or Computer Science degree program
- Professional qualifications (one or more preferred): GICSP, GRID, GCIP, CSSA, CACE, CISSP, OSCP
- 3+ years experience assessing or operating within OT, ICS, or SCADA environments
- Strong understanding of the operational constraints that make OT testing distinct from IT testing
- Excellent communication skills, with the ability to convey risk clearly to technical and non-technical audiences
- A demonstrated commitment to continuous learning in a rapidly evolving field
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to work independently in unfamiliar or highly specialized environments
Benefits:
- GRRSP with corporate matching in Canada
- Participation in corporate benefit plans within Canada
- Flexible work environment that empowers employees to do their best work
- Receive immediate and ongoing offensive security training, mentorship, and professional development to advance your technical capabilities
