Job Description

Cyber Assurance Engineer – OT / Industrial Environments

Salary: £80k+ • Bonus • Outstanding benefits • Flexible working

A leading UK critical‑infrastructure operator is expanding its cyber function and is hiring a Cyber Assurance Engineer to strengthen security across complex Operational Technology (OT) environments. This is a newly created position with scope to shape, influence, and develop the organisation’s approach to cyber assurance.

This role would suit:

✅ IT Security / GRC Consultants wanting to break into OT security
✅ Cyber Assurance professionals seeking more technical exposure
✅ Individuals eager to learn industrial security frameworks, OT risk, and engineering environments

We are open‑minded about background. If you bring core cyber assurance capability, curiosity, and a willingness to learn OT, we’d love to hear from you.

The Role

You’ll sit within Engineering and provide cyber assurance across a high‑availability industrial environment. Key responsibilities include:

  * Leading cyber assurance activities in line with internal policy and regulatory commitments

  * Conducting technical audits, gap assessments, and compliance reviews against NCSC CAF and internal frameworks

  * Managing requirements and evidence collection for cyber assessment frameworks

  * Tracking cyber KPIs, compliance milestones, and reporting to key stakeholders

  * Coordinating internal and external cyber resources, suppliers, and assessors

  * Supporting the development of incident response plans and OT‑focused recovery playbooks

  * Owning and maturing the Cyber Security Management System (CSMS) to drive continuous improvement

  * Collaborating with engineers to ensure alignment between IT, OT, and security objectives

About You

You don’t need OT experience — just a willingness to learn. We’re looking for someone who can blend assurance, communication, and a pragmatic engineering mindset.

You’ll ideally bring:

  * Experience in cyber security assurance, governance, risk, or compliance

  * Familiarity with standards such as ISA/IEC 62443 (advantageous, not essential)

  * Understanding of differences between IT and OT, or an interest in learning

  * Strong IT literacy, analytical thinking, and attention to detail

  * Ability to work independently and proactively

  * Positive, can‑do attitude and the confidence to own tasks end‑to‑end

  * Degree or recognised cyber qualification (nice to have, not mandatory)

What’s on Offer

  * Competitive salary (£80k+)

  * Annual bonus

  * Private medical

  * Flexible working

  * Salary‑sacrifice pension

  * Ongoing training and development, particularly in OT security

  * Opportunity to work in a unique industrial environment where your impact is tangible

Security vetting is required, generally needing UK residency for 3 of the past 5 years
