Role Summary -

The Project Manager will be responsible for end-to-end delivery of OT SOC/NOC implementation projects across control centres, substations, plants, utilities, oil & gas, and critical infrastructure environments. The role requires strong project management discipline, PMP-based execution capability, and practical understanding of OT cybersecurity implementation in brownfield and greenfield environments.

Key Responsibilities -

• Lead project planning, kick-off, mobilization, execution, monitoring, and closure.
• Review tender/contract scope, BOQ, technical specifications, milestones, risks, dependencies, and acceptance criteria.
• Prepare and manage project schedule, resource plan, communication matrix, risk register, issue tracker, and progress reports.
• Coordinate with customer, OEMs, subcontractors, internal engineering teams, site teams, and management.
• Manage implementation of OT SOC/NOC components including SIEM, SOAR, IDS/NDR, log collectors, VA, EDR/HIPS, NMS, ITSM, firewalls, routers, switches, servers, storage, backup, patch management, IAM, and data diode solutions.
• Oversee site surveys, engineering, HLD/LLD, integration design, FAT, installation, commissioning, SAT, SAVT, training, and final handover.
• Ensure project execution without disruption to live OT operations.
• Track site readiness, material delivery, installation progress, punch points, testing status, and customer signoffs.
• Ensure compliance with applicable OT cybersecurity standards such as IEC 62443, ISO 27001, NIST CSF, CERT-In guidelines, and customer-specific security requirements.
• Manage change requests, scope deviations, project risks, escalations, documentation, and payment milestone tracking.

Required Capabilities -

• Strong experience in managing cybersecurity, OT, SOC/NOC, IT infrastructure, control centre, substation, or critical infrastructure implementation projects.
• Working knowledge of OT networks, SCADA/control systems, industrial communication environments, and brownfield deployment challenges.
• Ability to manage multi-vendor and multi-site implementation projects.
• Understanding of OT SOC architecture, log onboarding, IDS sensor deployment, asset discovery, vulnerability assessment, network segmentation, and security monitoring workflows.
• Good knowledge of project governance, stakeholder management, reporting, documentation control, quality, safety, and acceptance processes.
• Ability to lead cross-functional teams and drive timely delivery under contractual timelines.

Qualification -

• Bachelors degree in engineering, IT, Computer Science, Electronics, Electrical, Instrumentation, or related field.
• PMP Certification is required. IEC 62443, ISO 27001, ITIL, CISSP, CISM, CEH, or OEM cybersecurity certifications will be an added advantage.

Key Deliverables -

Project Management Plan, detailed project schedule, risk register, site survey reports, HLD/LLD coordination, implementation tracker, OEM/subcontractor tracker, FAT/SAT/SAVT coordination, weekly/monthly progress reports, issue and dependency tracker, training records, as-built documentation, and final project closure report.
