Cyber Security Engineer - Enterprise Security

Midland, Texas

Are you a hands-on cybersecurity engineer who wants to protect critical energy infrastructure and make a real-world impact every day?

We’re partnering with Permian Resources (NYSE: PR), a leading independent oil and natural gas company, to recruit a Cyber Security Engineer for their Enterprise Cybersecurity Team. This is an opportunity to work at the heart of a fast-paced, operationally critical environment where security is fundamental to business continuity—not just a tick-box exercise.

This role is ideal for a technically strong security professional who enjoys designing, implementing, and operating security controls while collaborating closely with IT, cloud, and operational teams.

As a Cyber Security Engineer, you’ll:

• Design, implement, and maintain enterprise security solutions including firewalls, IDS/IPS, EDR, SIEM, IAM, PAM, and DLP technologies.
• Develop and enforce security policies, procedures, and standards to protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of company data.
• Conduct threat analysis and vulnerability assessments, proactively identifying and mitigating cyber risks.
• Lead incident response activities, including containment, eradication, and recovery.
• Monitor security tooling and logs to detect, investigate, and respond to security incidents.
• Collaborate with infrastructure, cloud, and IT teams to embed security across on‑prem and cloud environments (AWS, Azure, GCP).
• Research and evaluate emerging threats and new security technologies.
• Contribute to security awareness initiatives and help strengthen the organisation’s overall security posture.

You’ll be a strong fit if you are:

• An experienced cybersecurity engineer with 5+ years in security engineering or a closely related role.
• Confident designing and implementing security controls in complex enterprise environments.
• Well‑versed in incident response, threat analysis, and vulnerability management
  .
• Familiar with NIST CSF, ISO 27001
  , and security policy development.
• Technically strong across one or more of the following:
• Firewall Management & WAF
• SIEM
• IAM & PAM
• DLP
• Cloud Security (AWS, Azure, GCP)
• A strong communicator who can work effectively across multidisciplinary teams.
• Analytical, detail‑oriented, and comfortable operating in a fast‑moving environment.

• Experience securing OT / Industrial Control Systems (SCADA) environments.
• Industry certifications such as CISSP, Security+, or equivalent experience
  .

• Mission‑critical impact: Secure systems that support large‑scale energy operations.
• Hands‑on engineering: Design, build, and operate—this is not a purely advisory role.
• Enterprise exposure: Work across cloud, IT infrastructure, and operational environments.
• Growth & stability: Join a well‑established organisation investing in cybersecurity maturity.
• Inclusive culture: A diverse, collaborative environment where your expertise is valued.

If you’re a practical, technically driven cybersecurity engineer who wants ownership, challenge, and real operational impact, this is a role where your skills will truly matter.
