The Opportunity

At Hitachi Energy Cooling Systems, we have global responsibility for the development and manufacturing of highly reliable cooling systems for power electronics and power transmission applications. Our solutions play a critical role in enabling safe, stable, and efficient operation of HVDC and other high‑power installations worldwide.

As power demand and cybersecurity requirements continue to grow, the boundaries between machine OT networks and customer IT environments are becoming increasingly interconnected. We are now looking for a Project Engineer – Network & Cyber Security to strengthen our engineering team in Landskrona.

In this role, you will work close to both technology and projects, acting as a key link between industrial automation systems and customer site networks. You will support secure network design, implementation, and lifecycle management of machine networks, while also serving as a cybersecurity focal point in customer projects. The role combines hands‑on technical work with coordination, documentation, and continuous improvement in a global engineering environment.

How you’ll make an impact

• Design and integrate secure network architectures between machine OT environments and customer site IT networks.
• Configure, commission, and support industrial network equipment such as switches, routers, firewalls, and gateways in project deliveries.
• Act as a cybersecurity representative in customer projects, ensuring compliance with internal policies, customer requirements, and applicable regulations.
• Prepare and maintain cybersecurity‑related technical documentation, risk assessments, and compliance evidence.
• Support troubleshooting and incident resolution during commissioning, operation, and lifecycle phases.
• Collaborate closely with automation engineers, customer OT/IT teams, and suppliers to ensure robust and secure system integration.
• Contribute to continuous improvement of network, cybersecurity practices, tools, and ways of working.

Your background

• A Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Electrical/Electronic Engineering, Industrial Automation, or equivalent practical experience.
• Several years of experience working with industrial networks and cybersecurity in OT/IT environments within sectors such as power transmission, substations, manufacturing, or process industries.
• Solid understanding of industrial networking concepts, including Layer 2/3 networking, segmentation, redundancy, and routing in OT contexts.
• Experience with industrial communication protocols such as IEC 61850, PROFINET, Modbus TCP, OPC UA, EtherNet/IP, or similar.
• Familiarity with industrial cybersecurity principles, standards, and frameworks (e.g. IEC 62443, ISO 27001, NIST, EU CRA).
• A structured, proactive, and collaborative working style, with the ability to communicate clearly with both technical and non‑technical stakeholders.
• Fluency in English, both written and spoken; Swedish language skills are considered a strong advantage.

Meriting experience

• Hands‑on experience with PLCs, HMIs, drives, or industrial automation systems.
• Experience with network monitoring, diagnostic, or security assessment tools.
• Certifications such as CCNA/CCNP, CompTIA Network+, or IEC 62443‑related training.
• Exposure to virtualization, high‑availability networks, or secure remote access solutions in industrial environments.

What we offer

• Collective agreement
• Flexible working time
• Health care and wellness allowance
• Fantastic career possibilities within Hitachi Energy both within Sweden and globally
