Cyber Security OT Engineer
Ipswich | Permanent | Up to £66,000 + 7.5% bonus |
Join UK Power Networks in a pivotal cyber security role protecting critical Operational Technology systems that support essential energy infrastructure. This is an opportunity to work at the heart of OT security, helping safeguard systems that underpin safe, resilient, and reliable electricity distribution.
Reporting to the Cyber Security OT Engineering Manager, you'll help deliver, support, and improve OT cyber security across a complex infrastructure portfolio. You'll work with tools and environments including firewalls, SIEM, PAM, endpoint protection, IDS, Cisco ISE, and SCADA-related systems, while collaborating with internal teams, service providers, and specialist partners.
This role offers broad exposure across implementation, monitoring, incident response, change management, resilience testing, and continuous improvement. You'll contribute to regulated cyber security compliance, support OT projects, and help strengthen protections across critical network and control environments.
You'll be a strong fit if you bring solid cyber security or networking experience in an industrial or OT environment, with knowledge of technologies such as Fortinet, Cisco ISE, VPNs, dynamic routing, Microsoft or Linux security, and virtualised infrastructure. Experience with SCADA, industrial protocols, security standards, or OT incident response will be highly valued.
In return, you'll receive a competitive salary, bonus, pension contribution, 25 days' holiday plus bank holidays, and a wide range of additional benefits including retail discounts, gym membership support, employee assistance, and travel or lifestyle schemes. You'll also join a team focused on resilience, innovation, and protecting nationally important services.
If you're ready to play a key role in securing critical OT infrastructure and want to apply your expertise in a highly impactful environment, we'd love to hear from you.
