Requirements

What we're looking for

  • You have experience in cybersecurity for production plants, industrial environments, energy, utilities, process industries or comparable critical infrastructure.

  • You know NIS2, cyber-risk management and incident-notification obligations, and you have hands-on experience with network architecture, firewalls and privileged or remote access.

  • You can inspect a site, understand current-state infrastructure and design a pragmatic target state, and you bring sound knowledge of Windows and Linux security, virtualisation, backup and recovery, endpoint protection and vulnerability and patch management.

  • You hold a degree or equivalent professional experience in Cybersecurity, Computer Science, Automation, Telecommunications or a related discipline, you're fluent in English and open to travelling internationally.

  • Ideally, you bring OT security expertise - Purdue architectures, industrial protocols, PLC/HMI/SCADA environments or industrial firewalls.

  • Ideally, you're comfortable using data-analysis tools to work with logs, asset data, vulnerabilities and operational trends.

You are pragmatic and hands-on, equally comfortable in a regulatory discussion, a firewall rule review or a plant walkdown. You build trust across cultures and make clear, risk-based decisions. Even if you don't meet every single requirement, we still encourage you to apply.

The role

Join Axpo Biogas International and make cybersecurity tangible: from NIS2 governance to the networks and controls that keep biomethane plants safe. Shape scalable security architecture across Europe and turn regulation into practical, on-the-ground decisions.

What you'll do

  • Own the cybersecurity framework for Axpo Biogas International, with a strong focus on NIS2 and the applicable national requirements across Europe.

  • Lead incident response and act as the company's liaison with the relevant national competent authorities.

  • Define target architectures and produce or approve designs, network diagrams, asset inventories, data-flow maps, migration plans, test plans and rollback procedures.

  • Assess cybersecurity risks and lead technical validation across due diligence, design, construction, commissioning and operation of biomethane plants, including on-site visits.

  • Design and improve secure plant networks - VLANs, IT/OT segmentation, industrial DMZs and controlled conduits between PLC, HMI, SCADA and enterprise systems - and select, configure and govern firewalls and other network-security components.

  • Partner with Engineering, Construction, Operations, IT, Legal and external integrators, evaluate suppliers and technical proposals, and deliver practical security guidance and awareness to plant teams.
