What do we rely on at ENCAVIS? The sun. The wind. And on you.

Welcome to Encavis! Our world is all about the power of the sun, the wind and the more than 400 people across our group who are working together to shape the energy system of the future in order to ensure a sustainable energy supply for future generations.

ENCAVIS Management GmbH & Co. KG is the holding company of ENCAVIS GmbH, one of Europe's leading electricity producers from renewable energies. We operate a broadly diversified portfolio of over 330 onshore wind farms, ground-mounted solar plants and battery storage facilities in 13 European countries with an installed capacity of more than 3.8 GW. And best of all, we are continuing to grow! Our subsidiaries, Stern Energy SpA, which operates throughout Europe as a specialist in technical services for photovoltaic systems, and Encavis Portfolio Management GmbH, which specialises in supporting institutional investors, complement our portfolio.

What does this mean for you? The opportunity to make a difference, to shape and change things. As part of a multinational team that enjoys helping to make the energy transition a success.

Shape the security of our renewable energy infrastructure
As Team Lead Operational Technology Security & NIS2 Compliance, you take on a key role in protecting Encavis’ renewable energy assets across Europe. You combine strategic ownership with hands-on implementation, ensuring that our OT security architecture and compliance frameworks meet the highest standards. Working closely with technical, operational and commercial teams, you build scalable security structures that safeguard our growing PV, wind and storage portfolio. This role offers you the opportunity to make a direct impact on the resilience and security of critical energy infrastructure while contributing to the energy transition.

Your sunny outlook:

  • OT Security Strategy & Governance: You own and continuously develop Encavis’ OT cybersecurity strategy, governance framework, policies and controls across our renewable energy asset portfolio.
  • NIS2 Compliance & Regulatory Implementation: You translate NIS2 and country-specific regulatory requirements into a practical and auditable compliance program, including controls, documentation and reporting.
  • Risk Management & Asset Visibility: You establish a consistent OT risk management framework, ensuring transparency across assets, systems and dependencies throughout the portfolio.
  • Security Standards & Architecture: You define and enforce OT security standards such as network segmentation, remote access, logging, hardening and backup integrity, aligned with IEC 62443 and NIST frameworks.
  • Third-Party & O&M Governance: You manage third-party and O&M cybersecurity governance, including contractual requirements, remote access control and assurance processes.
  • Incident Response & Security Operations: You build and oversee OT incident response capabilities, including playbooks, coordination, exercises, and post-incident analysis.
  • Stakeholder & Interface Management: You act as the central interface across Operations, Engineering, IT/OT, Legal, Audit and external authorities.
  • Team Leadership & Ecosystem Development: You build, lead and develop an OT cybersecurity team as well as the external partner ecosystem.

We'll get wind of that soon:

  • Professional Experience & Background: You bring at least five years of experience in OT / ICS cybersecurity within energy, utilities or critical infrastructure environments.
  • Leadership & Program Management: You have proven experience leading complex, multi-country or multi-stakeholder OT security programs and ideally managing teams.
  • Technical Expertise & Systems Knowledge: You have strong expertise in SCADA environments, industrial networks, network segmentation and secure remote access.
  • Regulatory & Compliance Expertise: You bring hands-on experience with IEC 62443 and a solid understanding of NIS2 requirements and audit expectations.
  • Third-Party & Risk Management: You are experienced in managing external service providers and vendor risk frameworks.
  • Security Operations & Incident Management: You have experience in OT incident response, vulnerability management and secure system architecture design.
  • Communication & Stakeholder Management: You communicate confidently at both executive and technical levels and can translate complex topics into clear actions.
  • Language & International Environment: You are fluent in English; German is considered an advantage.
