🔐 Senior Consultant – Operational Technology (OT) Cyber Security
Location: UK-wide (Remote/Hybrid with some travel)
Type: Permanent | Full-Time
Sector: Industrial / Critical Infrastructure / Cyber Security
Salary: £60,000 – £75,000

Are you a cyber security expert with hands-on experience protecting industrial systems? We’re working with a fast-growing UK-based consultancy that is delivering major security programmes for organisations operating in high-risk, high-impact sectors – including energy, utilities, and manufacturing.

They’re now looking to expand their specialist team with a Senior OT Cyber Security Consultant, someone who understands how industrial systems work – and more importantly, how to secure them.

🛠️ Your Role

This is a client-facing consulting position focused on safeguarding operational environments – think control systems, remote access, and critical automation. You’ll work across a variety of industries to design, advise, and deliver real-world cyber solutions for operational networks.

Day-to-day, you could be:

• Carrying out risk assessments on OT environments (e.g., SCADA, PLCs, DCS)
• Helping clients build or improve their cyber security strategies and operating models
• Designing network architecture and remote access controls suited to legacy systems
• Guiding clients through frameworks such as IEC 62443, NIST 800-82, CAF, ISO 27001
• Writing and reviewing technical policies, standards, and procedures
• Translating complex technical challenges into clear, actionable plans
• Supporting the delivery of wider cyber transformation programmes

You’ll work with organisations where uptime, safety, and resilience are critical – so your work will have direct operational impact.

🔍 What We’re Looking For

We’re after someone who blends technical expertise with strong communication and consulting skills. You don’t need to be from a pure consultancy background, but you must be confident engaging with stakeholders and delivering structured solutions.

To succeed in this role, you’ll need:

• A solid background in cyber security, with a focus on OT environments
• Familiarity with industrial systems like PLCs, SCADA, DCS, HMIs, etc.
• Awareness of the cyber threats, vulnerabilities, and risks in industrial sectors
• Experience designing or assessing network architectures and access control for OT
• Working knowledge of security standards (IEC 62443, NIST, ISO 27001, CAF, etc.)
• Strong documentation and reporting skills – policies, assessments, risk analysis
• Experience working in (or with) sectors like energy, transport, water, or manufacturing
• Experience with governance, compliance and risk within cyber security.

Bonus if you’ve worked on security transformation projects or helped organisations move from low to high cyber maturity.

🌍 Why Join?

• Work on high-impact projects across critical sectors
• Be part of a growing team of OT specialists, backed by a wider cyber consultancy
• Opportunities to shape client strategy and lead technical delivery
• Flexible working model – mostly remote with client site visits as required
• Competitive salary, strong benefits package, and long-term career growth
