About the Company

This is an opportunity to join a family-founded business, now operating at national scale, specialising in security and automation solutions for the Utilities sector. With strong, long-term partnerships in place, the company delivers complex, high-value security projects across electrical substations, fencing, CCTV, and access control systems.

With the agility of a close-knit team and the backing of a major national group, they’re growing fast—and looking for experienced professionals ready to grow with them.

The Role: Project Engineer

As a Project Engineer, you’ll play a critical leadership role in delivering complex security projects across the UK. While not a hands-on installation role, you’ll need to be technically strong and capable of rolling your sleeves up when needed to support and guide teams on-site.

You’ll oversee multiple enterprise-level projects—ensuring the highest standards of quality, compliance, and documentation are met throughout. You’ll liaise directly with clients, coordinate subcontractors and engineers, and ensure all works are delivered on time and within spec.

This is a great opportunity for someone with strong electrical site experience (especially in utilities and National Grid environments) who wants to step into a more strategic, leadership-focused role while staying close to the technical detail.

Key Responsibilities

  • Oversee the delivery of security and automation projects across utility sites
  • Ensure all work meets quality, safety, and compliance standards
  • Maintain project documentation, reporting, and client communication
  • Support teams with technical guidance, problem-solving, and site coordination
  • Collaborate with clients and stakeholders to ensure expectations are met
  • Manage your own diary and workload, particularly in the England-based role

What We’re Looking For

  • Strong background in electrical engineering and on-site experience
  • Previous experience working on utility infrastructure – ideally National Grid sites
  • Proven experience in managing or overseeing technical projects
  • Ability to read, interpret, and produce technical documentation
  • Confident communicator with excellent organisational skills
  • Willingness to travel, with flexibility to stay away when required
  • Full UK Driving Licence (Electric company car provided)

Why Join Us?

  • £45,000 – £50,000 salary DOE
  • Electric company car + fuel card
  • Paid travel time
  • 25 days holiday + bank holidays
  • Clear path for progression into senior roles
  • Ongoing training & support from a technically strong team
  • Work on critical infrastructure projects with national impact
  • Join a company that values your input and invests in your growth

Ready to Step Up?

If you’re a technically experienced professional looking to move into a project-focused role, where you can make an impact without stepping too far away from the tools, we’d love to hear from you. Apply now or contact Courtney Gilgunn for more information.

Where to Advertise Cyber Security Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Where to advertise cyber security jobs UK in 2026: the specialist boards, communities and channels that reach offensive, defensive and GRC security talent. The candidate pool is small, heavily vetted and in high demand across government, financial services, critical national infrastructure and the private sector simultaneously. Many of the strongest candidates hold active security clearances, are not actively job-searching through general platforms, and move primarily through specialist networks and trusted referrals. General job boards reach a broad audience but lack the specificity that security professionals expect. Specialist platforms, government-affiliated channels and cleared candidate networks each serve a different part of the market. This guide, published by CybersecurityJobs.tech, covers where to advertise cyber security roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about hiring across different role types.

Cyber Security Jobs UK 2026: What to Expect Over the Next 3 Years

Cyber Security Jobs UK 2026: roles, salaries and the threat intelligence, cloud security and zero-trust hiring trends shaping UK cyber careers. Cyber security is one of the few sectors where demand for talent has never once dipped. Every major technological shift of the past decade — cloud migration, remote working, AI adoption, the proliferation of connected devices — has expanded the attack surface that security professionals are expected to defend. And every expansion of that attack surface has generated more jobs. But the cyber security jobs market of 2026 is not simply a larger version of what it was three years ago. It is a structurally different market. The threats have evolved, the technologies used to combat them have changed, the regulatory environment has tightened considerably, and the roles being created reflect all of that. A job seeker who understands only the cyber security landscape of 2023 is already working with an outdated map. The candidates who will thrive over the next three years are those who understand where the sector is heading — which specialisms are attracting the most investment, which technologies are reshaping defensive and offensive security practice, and how the definition of a cyber security professional is broadening well beyond the traditional image of a network defender in a SOC. This article breaks down what the UK cyber security jobs market is likely to look like through to 2028 — covering the titles emerging right now, the technologies driving employer demand, the skills that will matter most, and how to position your career ahead of the curve.
