Shape the future of how natural gas systems operate
If you're an OT/SCADA professional who loves solving complex problems, influencing architecture decisions, and working on technology that truly keeps operations moving — this might be the kind of role you’d want to hear about (even if you’re not actively looking).
We’re growing our Operational Technologies capabilities and looking for a Technical Architect who can elevate our SCADA, Gas Distribution, and Meter Measurement systems. This role has high visibility across IT, engineering, and gas operations — and real impact on the safety, reliability, and performance of critical infrastructure.
What You’ll Do
• Own the endtoend technical design for SCADA and OT systems
• Lead technical direction for system architecture, integration, and modernization
• Mentor teams and guide best practices for OT system design & implementation
• Partner closely with IT, business leaders, vendors, and engineering teams
• Drive resilience, security, and highavailability architecture
• Influence longrange OT roadmaps and technology strategy
• Assess system changes, evaluate risks, and ensure strong architectural decisions
• Create and maintain architecture standards, documentation, and system frameworks
What You Bring
• 10+ years with SCADA, Meter Measurement, Gas Distribution, or industrial network systems
• Deep expertise in SCADA platforms, Modbus, PLC concepts & industrial networking
• Strong SQL/database design and data modeling experience
• Experience designing SCADA systems (RTUs, HMI, comms, redundancy/HA)
• Ability to troubleshoot, solve complex issues, and strengthen system performance
• Strong communication, leadership, and collaboration skills
• Ability to see the “big picture” and guide longterm architectural vision
• Familiarity with cybersecurity standards like ISA99/IEC 62443 and TSA requirements
Why This Role Is Unique
You won’t just maintain OT systems — you’ll shape the direction, build the roadmap, and modernize the technology that keeps natural gas operations running safely and efficiently.
This is a role for someone who loves influence, ownership, and meaningful technical challenges. Apply today!
