OT Cyber Security Engineer

The successful candidate will be responsible for implementing, maintaining and improving security controls across enterprise IT infrastructure, cloud environments, networks, applications and identity platforms.

Experience within energy, utilities, critical infrastructure or other regulated industries would be advantageous. Exposure to OT/ICS environments is desirable but not essential.

Essential Skills & Experience

• Strong hands-on experience in Cyber Security Engineering within enterprise IT environments.
• Experience implementing and managing enterprise security controls.
• Strong knowledge of vulnerability management, security remediation and system hardening.
• Experience with EDR/XDR, SIEM, IAM, MFA, PAM and network security technologies.
• Understanding of firewalls, endpoint protection, network segmentation and security monitoring.
• Experience supporting cyber security incidents and working with SOC teams.
• Good understanding of Windows/Linux security and cloud environments such as Azure or AWS.
• Experience working with infrastructure, network, cloud and application teams.
• Ability to assess technical security risks and recommend practical solutions.
• Knowledge of security frameworks such as ISO 27001, NIST CSF or NCSC CAF.
• Strong communication, troubleshooting and technical documentation skills.

Desirable Skills & Experience

• Previous experience within energy, utilities, electricity generation, critical national infrastructure or regulated industries.
• Exposure to Operational Technology (OT), Industrial Control Systems (ICS) or SCADA environments.
• Knowledge of IEC 62443, UK NIS regulations or Cyber Essentials.
• Experience with supplier security assessments, compliance audits or security assurance.
• Experience participating in cyber incident response exercises.
• Understanding of Zero Trust security principles and secure-by-design practices.

Experience within energy, utilities or OT/ICS environments is an advantage rather than a requirement.
