Objective
The Contractor shall provide end-to-end IT/OT Project Management and Technical Delivery Services for projects impacting Bulk Electric System (BES) Cyber Assets. All deliverables must strictly adhere to NERC CIP Standards
Summary
The Contractor will lead high-impact IT/OT infrastructure deployments across Transmission and Distribution SCADA environments. The ideal candidate will blend rigorous project management frameworks (PMP) with hands-on experience navigating NERC CIP compliance controls. Rather than acting as a traditional IT project coordinator, the Contractor must possess the technical acumen to converse with system operations engineers, network architects, and compliance auditors alike. They will be directly accountable for ensuring that every hardware deployment, software upgrade, network modification, and commissioning activity is delivered on schedule, on budget, and with zero residual compliance risk. The Contractor must demonstrate a deep understanding of the fundamental differences between IT and OT systems—specifically prioritizing safety, high availability, and deterministic system behavior in the OT space—while simultaneously enforcing enterprise-grade security controls.
