What is a Security Engineer at Duke Energy?
As a Security Engineer at Duke Energy, you are stepping into a role that goes far beyond traditional corporate IT defense. You are actively protecting the critical infrastructure that powers millions of homes, businesses, and essential services across the country. In the energy sector, cybersecurity is treated with the same rigor and urgency as physical safety, making this position a cornerstone of our operational stability and public trust.
Your work will directly impact our ability to secure complex environments that blend traditional Information Technology (IT) with Operational Technology (OT) and Industrial Control Systems (ICS). You will collaborate with cross-functional teams to design, implement, and monitor security controls that safeguard our grid, customer data, and enterprise networks from sophisticated, evolving threats, including state-sponsored actors and ransomware campaigns.
Expect a role that balances strategic planning with hands-on technical execution. You will be navigating a highly regulated environment, meaning your solutions must be both innovative and compliant with strict industry standards like NERC CIP. If you are passionate about defending critical infrastructure and thrive in a collaborative, mission-driven environment, this role offers unparalleled scale and real-world impact.
