• Coordinate, liaise, support and conduct meetings to facilitate and validate the implementation in accordance with national and international cybersecurity standards and requirements

[What we are looking for]

• Trained in Electrical, Electronics, Computer or Network Engineering, or equivalent, with preferably 3-5 years of relevant working experience in project management and system implementation
• Experience in project management, vendor management, incident management, problem management
• Experience with the operations or maintenance of safety critical systems (for example, ATM systems) is preferred
• Strong working knowledge of ATMS platform architectures and environments, including server, storage, virtualization (e.g. VMware, Hyper-V), high availability and disaster recovery designs for mission-critical systems
• Strong understanding of enterprise network design and operations, including LAN/WAN, routing and switching (e.g. OSPF, BGP, VLAN), network segmentation, firewalls and redundancy for resilient, low-latency networks
• Working knowledge of cybersecurity and system hardening practices, including security architecture (e.g. zero trust), secure remote access, patch and vulnerability management, security logging and monitoring, and encryption and cryptographic protocols (e.g. TLS)
• Working knowledge of Government IM8 policies and the Cybersecurity Code of Practice (CCoP) for Critical Information Infrastructure, and experience in implementing, assessing and demonstrating compliance with their technical and process controls (e.g. risk assessment, access control, vulnerability and patch management, logging and monitoring, incident reporting and audit readiness)
• Experience in working with vendors, auditors and cybersecurity agencies to review and validate system designs, configurations and test results against CCoP and IM8 requirements, and to drive timely remediation of gaps and audit findings
• Understanding of data centre and equipment room infrastructure, including rack layout, structured cabling, power and cooling, and the interfaces with building and facility systems
• Strong experience in managing business, IT and senior stakeholders
• Sound understanding of the technical aspects of systems integration in an environment with diverse technologies, including interface management, system testing (e.g. FAT, SAT) and system acceptance
• Strong communication skills and ability to influence to gain consensus from multiple stakeholders when required
• Familiarity with Government IM8, CCoP, ITIL practices and the ATM domain (e.g. ICAO and EUROCONTROL requirements) will be an added advantage
• Good analytical skills, and able to multi-task and deliver results in a timely manner
