OT Cyber Security Consultant - Critical Infrastructure | UK-wide | Hybrid


Let’s skip the part where we pretend you haven’t seen 17 other roles like this today.


Here’s what’s different:


This isn’t some generic cyber gig stuck in a dark corner of IT. This is OT. Real-world, physical infrastructure, where a misconfigured PLC doesn’t just crash a dashboard - it shuts down half the power grid.


That’s what you’ll be dealing with here.


It’s consulting, yes - but not the kind that’s all slide decks and no substance.


Here’s what you’ll actually do:

  • Tackle industrial control and OT cyber challenges in environments like SCADA, DCS, PLCs and RTUs
  • Work with electricity transmission, oil & gas, nuclear, water, and critical infrastructure clients
  • Design and assess security architecture in line with standards like NIST CSF, ISO 27001/27005, NERC CIP, IEC 62443 and all the other acronyms we pretend to love
  • Translate risk into action. No hiding behind jargon
  • Help clients get their OT security sorted - not just compliant, but actually secure


This role isn’t for someone who wants to coast.You’ll be client-facing, working on things that matter. Sometimes on-site (up to 5 days a week in some cases), often hybrid (2+ days). It varies - this is consulting, not clock-watching.


Salary- Upto 100k+ (plus a bonus)


What’s in it for you?

  • Projects that don’t all look the same
  • Room to grow technically without being pushed onto a management track if that’s not your thing
  • Actual budget for training and certifications
  • A team that values curiosity and straight talk over buzzwords and waffle


You don’t need to tick every box. If you’ve got solid OT security chops and know your way around industrial networks, let’s talk.
