Role Overview

Join Air Products as an IT/DT Cybersecurity Engineer and play a pivotal role in safeguarding our critical infrastructure, industrial systems, and digital assets. In this dynamic position, you will contribute to the implementation, validation, and documentation of robust cybersecurity controls across global sites, operational technology (OT)/industrial control systems (ICS), industrial networks, and supporting digital transformation (DT) infrastructure. Your expertise will be instrumental in ensuring compliance with industry standards, regulatory requirements, and Air Products’ stringent cybersecurity policies while enabling the seamless execution of projects that drive innovation and operational excellence.

Key Responsibilities

As an IT/DT Cybersecurity Engineer, you will be responsible for the following core functions:

• Technical Cybersecurity Execution:
  • Support the implementation, validation, and documentation of cybersecurity controls across global site systems, OT/ICS environments, industrial networks, cybersecurity tools, and DT infrastructure.
  • Assist in cyber site acceptance testing (SAT) activities, including preparation, execution support, evidence capture, defect logging, issue tracking, and closeout documentation.
  • Collaborate on the collection, validation, indexing, and quality review of proof-of-compliance documentation.
  • Review and support cybersecurity evidence related to network diagrams, system architecture, firewall rules, hardening standards, access control matrices, asset inventories, SIEM/monitoring configurations, and vendor compliance deliverables.
  • Support cyber hygiene initiatives with third-party vendors, subcontractors, and site teams.
  • Assist in tracking and remediating cybersecurity gaps, Cyber SAT findings, Cyber Risk Assessment recommendations, proof-of-concept (POC) evidence gaps, and vendor documentation deficiencies.
• OT/ICS and Site Technical Support:
  • Support OT/ICS cybersecurity activities, including system hardening, firewall configuration reviews, password management standards, secure remote access controls, endpoint/security tooling validation, DMZ implementation, and network segmentation verification.
  • Participate in walkthroughs, field verifications, technical reviews, and cybersecurity control validation activities.
  • Evaluate vendor and subcontractor deliverables for compliance with project cybersecurity requirements, Air Products standards, NCA/HCIS expectations, and approved architecture.
  • Collaborate with process controls, DT infrastructure, plant computing, and vendor teams to resolve cybersecurity issues impacting commissioning, start-up, or handover readiness.
  • Document technical decisions, implementation status, deviations, risk acceptance items, compensating controls, and open action items.
• Compliance Documentation and Evidence Management:
  • Collect, organize, and maintain technical cybersecurity evidence required for proof of compliance and regulatory readiness.
  • Support the preparation of Cyber Security Assessment Tool (CSAT) and POC documentation packages for review by the Cyber Lead, OT Cybersecurity, DT, NGHC, and external assessors.
  • Ensure documentation is complete, technically accurate, consistent, and traceable to applicable requirements.
  • Support responses to NGHC comments, third-party assessor findings, and follow-up requests related to cybersecurity evidence.
  • Maintain accurate trackers for cyber issues, documentation gaps, evidence status, and remediation actions.
• Vendor and Third-Party Support:
  • Coordinate with cybersecurity vendors, EPC subcontractors, OEMs, and external implementation partners during onsite execution, testing, and documentation activities.
  • Support external partners responsible for cybersecurity solution implementation, testing, documentation, and transition support.
  • Review vendor-submitted evidence and escalate incomplete, inconsistent, or non-compliant documentation to the Cyber Lead.
  • Supervise third-party activities when required, validating that field work aligns with approved cyber design and project requirements.
• Coordination and Reporting:
  • Provide regular status updates to the Cyber Lead on technical progress, blockers, risks, documentation gaps, and open actions.
  • Participate in weekly coordination meetings with OT Cybersecurity, DT, site project management, and other cybersecurity stakeholders.
  • Support the preparation of concise technical updates for leadership and cross-functional teams.

Qualifications and Experience

To excel in this role, you should possess the following qualifications and experience:

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Cybersecurity, Information Technology, or a related field. Relevant certifications such as CISSP, CEH, GIAC, or CompTIA Security+ are highly desirable.
• Minimum of 3-5 years of experience in cybersecurity, with a focus on OT/ICS environments, industrial networks, or digital transformation initiatives.
• Hands-on experience with cybersecurity controls, risk assessments, compliance frameworks (e.g., NIST, IEC 62443, ISO 27001), and regulatory requirements.
• Strong technical acumen in network security, firewall configurations, system hardening, SIEM tools, and vulnerability management.
• Experience collaborating with cross-functional teams, including IT, OT, engineering, and third-party vendors.
• Excellent analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills, with the ability to translate technical concepts for diverse audiences.
