This is a highly visible role where you will work alongside engineering, OT and operational teams to deliver meaningful change, not simply maintain the status quo.

• Design and implement secure OT architectures across renewable generation assets.
• Lead security reviews and provide technical assurance for new operational technologies.

• Work closely with Engineering, Control & Instrumentation and OT teams to securely deploy new systems.
• Identify and mitigate cyber risks across SCADA, PLC, HMI and industrial control environments.
• Support large-scale modernisation programmes, transforming legacy systems into secure, resilient platforms.
• Contribute to regulatory compliance, cyber resilience and OT security standards across the organisation.

What We Are Looking For:

• Experienced engineers from OT security, industrial networking, control systems, cyber security or critical infrastructure backgrounds.

You will ideally bring experience with:

• OT or industrial control system security
• IEC 62443
• SCADA, PLCs and HMIs
• Industrial networking and network segmentation
• Enterprise or industrial firewalls
• Vulnerability management and patching
• Industrial protocols such as Modbus, DNP3, IEC 61850, OPC, Profinet or Ethernet/IP
• Siemens, GE or similar control systems
• Energy, utilities, manufacturing, oil & gas or other critical infrastructure environments

Why Join?

• Up to £81,000 salary plus minimum 15% bonus
• Opportunity to secure and modernise critical national infrastructure
• Work across a diverse renewable energy portfolio
• Influence the future OT security strategy and architecture
• Exposure to major transformation and investment programmes
• Flexible hybrid working with site travel
• High-performing, growing team with genuine career progression opportunities
