You’ll lead the development of a secure OT architecture that protects vital systems like SCADA, PLCs, and industrial networks. Working closely with cross-functional teams, you’ll embed cybersecurity into every layer of our infrastructure enhancement programme.

Hybrid working: The places that you work from day to day will vary according to your role, your needs, and those of the business; it will be a blend of Company offices, client sites, and your home; noting that you will be unable to work at home 100% of the time.​

Your role

• Design and maintain a comprehensive OT cybersecurity architecture aligned with best practices and regulations
  
  
• Conduct risk assessments and vulnerability analyses across OT environments

• Collaborate with engineering and project teams to integrate security into infrastructure upgrades
  
  
• Provide expert consultation on OT cybersecurity to internal teams and stakeholders
  
  
• Develop incident response plans tailored to OT environments

• Ensure compliance with standards such as NIS Directive, NCSC CAF, ISO 27001
  
  
• Conduct audits and penetration testing of OT systems
  
  
• Advise on secure integration of IIoT and other emerging technologies

  Your skills and experience​
  
  
• A degree in Computer Science, Cybersecurity, or a related field (Master’s preferred)
  
  
• 8+ years of cybersecurity experience, including 5+ years focused on OT or industrial control systems
  
  
• Deep knowledge of OT security principles, architectures, and technologies
  
  
• Familiarity with industrial protocols (e.g., Modbus, DNP3, OPC) and their security implications
  
  
• Experience securing SCADA systems, PLCs, and industrial networks
  
  
• Understanding of standards like IEC 62443, NIST SP 800-82, ISA/IEC 62443
