Information Security Officer - Operational Technology | Critical Infrastructure | North West | Hybrid | £Competitive + Excellent Benefits

I'm currently working with a major organisation operating in a highly regulated, mission-critical environment to recruit an Information Security Officer with a focus on Operational Technology (OT). This is a rare and exciting opportunity to join a forward-thinking team driving cyber resilience across industrial systems and critical infrastructure.

As the Information Security Officer - OT, you'll play a pivotal role in shaping and maintaining security posture across complex OT environments. You'll work closely with internal stakeholders and external partners, ensuring policy compliance, managing risks, and supporting incident response activities across key business functions.

💼 The Role:

Act as a trusted advisor to business units on all matters of OT security.

Support the development and maintenance of security policies and ensure alignment with national/international frameworks (NIST, IEC 62443, ISO27001, etc.).

Lead on cyber risk assessments, vulnerability analysis, and compliance reviews.

Assist in incident investigations and ensure lessons learned are captured and implemented.

Help drive the security compliance schedule and contribute to audit, supplier, and project reviews from a security perspective.

Translate complex security threats into business risks and provide clear guidance to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

🧠 What We're Looking For:

Solid experience in an information security, cyber risk, or compliance role within IT/OT environments.

Proven exposure to Operational Technology systems (e.g., ICS, SCADA).

Industry-recognised certifications: CISSP, CRISC, CompTIA Security+, Network+, etc.

Strong working knowledge of NIST, IEC 62443, and ideally ISO27001 audit processes.

Background in regulated sectors such as utilities, energy, or critical infrastructure is highly advantageous.

A confident communicator with the ability to influence and advise at all levels.

💡 Why This Role?

This is more than just a compliance role-it's a chance to make a tangible impact on the resilience of essential systems that affect millions. You'll be part of a collaborative, growing cyber resilience team that is serious about security and backed by board-level support.

If you're passionate about OT security, want to work in a fast-evolving and meaningful space, and are ready to take ownership of policy, risk, and advisory work in a critical infrastructure setting-we want to hear from you.

How Many Cyber Security Tools Do You Need to Know to Get a Cyber Security Job?

If you are trying to build or move forward in a cyber security career, it can feel like the list of tools you are expected to know never ends. One job advert asks for SIEM platforms, another mentions penetration testing tools, another lists cloud security, threat intelligence platforms, endpoint detection, scripting languages and compliance frameworks. Scroll LinkedIn and it gets worse. Everyone seems to “know” dozens of tools, certifications and platforms. Here is the reality most cyber security hiring managers agree on: they are not hiring you because you know every tool. They are hiring you because you understand risk, can think like an attacker and a defender, follow process, communicate clearly and make good decisions under pressure. Tools matter — but only when they support those outcomes. So how many cyber security tools do you actually need to know to get a job? For most job seekers, the answer is far fewer than you think. This article explains what employers really expect, which tools are essential, which are role-specific and how to focus your learning so you look credible, not overwhelmed.

The Skills Gap in Cyber Security Jobs: What Universities Aren’t Teaching

Cyber security has become one of the most critical disciplines in the modern economy. From protecting financial systems and healthcare data to securing national infrastructure, cloud platforms and supply chains, cyber security professionals now sit at the frontline of digital trust. Demand for cyber security talent in the UK has surged. Job vacancies remain high, salaries continue to rise, and organisations across every sector report difficulty hiring skilled professionals. Yet despite this demand, many graduates struggle to break into cyber security roles and employers consistently report that candidates are not job-ready. The problem is not intelligence, ambition or academic effort. It is a persistent and widening skills gap between university education and real-world cyber security work. This article explores that gap in depth: what universities teach well, what they routinely miss, why the gap exists, what employers actually want, and how jobseekers can bridge the divide to build sustainable careers in cyber security.
