This is an onsite position at the DuPont Spruance site. Candidates must live within a daily commutable distance to the site or be willing to relocate to the area at their own expense to be considered for this role.
What You’ll Do
Network Design & Administration
Design, implement, and manage secure, resilient PCN architectures that support reliable site operations.
Administer switches, VLANs, and domain controllers with a focus on uptime, performance, and scalability.
Own firewall configuration, rules, and approvals to strengthen secure connectivity across the environment.
Support key technology migrations, including Honeywell-related work, through pre-migration audits, switch reconfiguration, and VLAN changes.
Cybersecurity Implementation
Shape and enforce cybersecurity practices designed for industrial control and manufacturing environments.
Deploy and manage firewalls, IDS/IPS, antivirus, and endpoint protection solutions to reduce operational risk.
Implement port locking and access controls that prevent unauthorized devices from connecting to the PCN.
Represent the site in global cyber forums, including the Global Cyber Champions network and Honeywell Cyber Customer Advisory Board.
Monitoring & Incident Response
Continuously monitor network traffic and system performance using tools such as Dell OpenManage, ActiveXperts, and LogicMonitor.
Detect, analyze, and respond to anomalies, threats, or breaches.
Lead incident response efforts, including forensic analysis and recovery.
Risk Management & Compliance
Conduct risk assessments to identify vulnerabilities and recommend mitigations.
Ensure compliance with standards such as NERC CIP, ISO 27001, and corporate cybersecurity policies.
Maintain thorough documentation of network configurations, security policies, and compliance audits.
System Maintenance & Disaster Recovery
Perform regular system updates, patches, and lifecycle management (LCM).
Manage backups and restorations for DCS and non-DCS systems.
Oversee WSUS patching strategy and ensure continuity of updates across servers.
Develop and maintain disaster recovery and business continuity plans.
Collaboration & Training
Partner with engineering and IT teams to integrate cybersecurity into process control infrastructure.
Provide training and awareness programs for employees on cybersecurity best practices.
Act as a technical advisor for site leadership on emerging threats and security technologies.
What You’ll Bring

Strong knowledge of industrial control systems (ICS) and process control networks.
