BDO Digital Offensive Senior Security Analyst

We're looking for a lead Instrument & Controls Engineer to take charge of ICSS projects at a busy chemical manufacturing plant. You'll work across a variety of projects from CAPEX to maintenance contributing to everything from concept design to execution.

You'll need solid experience with Siemens and GE Mk 6eS turbine control systems, TUV Functional Safety Engineer certification, and Compex Ex12. Experience with IACS cyber security in a COMAH environment? Even better.

If you're ready to lead technically complex work and make your mark, let's chat.

What will I be doing?

· Take the lead on project delivery managing budgets, timelines, vendors, and everything in between.

· Get involved in the full design lifecycle, from early concept and FEED right through to detailed engineering and execution.

· Shape project plans, write up specs, and back up cost estimates with solid insight while selecting the right instruments and safety devices to ISA standards.

· Review and sign off on key instrumentation documents like P&IDs, loop drawings, datasheets, and FAT procedures.

· Dive into data using tools like SAP, Analytics for Excel, and Tableau to guide smarter decisions and keep control documentation up to date.

· Own the commissioning phase-manage the schedule, tweak scopes where needed, and make sure everything runs smoothly on-site.

What do I need to succeed?

· You know your way around ICSS design standards, safety codes, and specifications like the back of your hand.

· You've worked hands-on with steam and gas turbine control systems-especially Siemens and GE Mk 6eS.

· You're TUV Functional Safety Engineer certified, so safety is second nature to you.

· You've got your Compex Ex12 qualification under your belt.

· Bonus if you bring experience in IACS cybersecurity within a COMAH environment-think oil & gas, petrochemicals, or similar.

What's my next step?

Sound like a good fit? Hit the apply button and we'll be in touch soon to chat through the next steps. This role falls inside IR35 with rates offered on a PAYE basis, but if you'd prefer to go through an umbrella company, that's totally fine too. We'll walk you through the details once you apply

Maths for Cyber Security Jobs: The Only Topics You Actually Need (& How to Learn Them)

If you are applying for cyber security jobs in the UK it can feel like “real security people” must be brilliant at maths. The reality is simpler: most roles do not need degree-level pure maths. What they do need is confidence with a small set of practical topics that show up repeatedly in day-to-day work across SOC, incident response, cloud security, AppSec, threat detection, IAM & security engineering. This guide strips the maths down to what actually helps you get hired. It includes a 6-week learning plan plus portfolio projects you can publish to prove the skills. You will focus on: Number systems & bitwise thinking (binary, hex, bytes, XOR) Modular arithmetic basics (enough to understand how modern crypto “works”) Probability & statistics for detection, triage & risk Discrete maths for logic, sets, graphs & complexity Security maths habits: estimation, false positive control & evidence-led reporting You will not waste time on heavy theory that rarely appears in junior or mid-level cyber security roles.

Neurodiversity in Cyber Security Careers: Turning Different Thinking into a Superpower

Cyber security is all about thinking like an attacker, spotting unusual patterns, protecting systems & responding calmly when everything looks like it’s on fire. It’s a discipline built on curiosity, persistence & noticing things other people miss. That’s exactly why it can be such a good fit for many neurodivergent people. If you live with ADHD, autism or dyslexia, you may have been told your brain is “too distracted”, “too literal” or “too disorganised” for a security role. In reality, the traits that can make traditional office work tough often line up beautifully with cyber security work – from hyperfocus in incident response to meticulous analysis in threat hunting. This guide is written for cyber security job seekers in the UK. We’ll look at: What neurodiversity means in a cyber context How ADHD, autism & dyslexia strengths map to different security roles Practical workplace adjustments you can ask for under UK law How to talk about neurodivergence during applications & interviews By the end, you’ll have a clearer sense of where you might thrive in cyber security – & how to turn “different thinking” into a genuine superpower.
