We’re Hiring | Principal Architect, OT Process Control Network (PCN)
Zenith Energy Partners is expanding our Operational Technology leadership team.
We are seeking a Principal Architect, OT Process Control Network (PCN) to help define the future architecture of the industrial technology environments supporting our energy operations.
This is not simply a SCADA, networking, or infrastructure position.
This individual will serve as a senior architecture authority for Zenith’s OT ecosystem, establishing the standards, reference architectures, technology guardrails, and long-term technical direction governing our Process Control Networks.
The scope includes:
• SCADA, DCS, PLC and RTU environments
• Process Control Networks and industrial cybersecurity
• OT network segmentation and industrial DMZ architectures
• Historians and operational data infrastructure
• Industrial edge computing and IIoT
• MQTT and Sparkplug B
• Unified Namespace (UNS) architectures
• Kafka and industrial event streaming
• OT-to-enterprise and OT-to-cloud integration
• Remote operations and field technologies
• Brownfield modernization and greenfield projects
• M&A integration of operational assets
• Digital twins, advanced analytics and industrial AI enablement
The person stepping into this role will help answer some of the most important technology questions inside Zenith:
What becomes a standard?
What gets deployed at scale?
What gets modernized?
What gets retired?
And what technology should never enter the OT environment in the first place?
We are looking for someone with deep industrial experience who understands that OT architecture is ultimately about more than technology.
It is about safety, reliability, availability, cybersecurity, interoperability, maintainability and operational continuity.
If you have spent your career designing, modernizing and governing complex industrial environments and are ready to influence OT architecture at the enterprise level, we want to hear from you.
Applications opening soon.
