Head of Cyber Security Renewables & Thermal

Reference: iwwv6ncq1nm2dbiz55se

We are seeking an experienced Head of Cyber Security to lead the protection of renewable energy and thermal generation assets across a complex, evolving operational technology environment. This senior role will define and execute the cyber security strategy for generation sites, corporate systems and critical infrastructure, ensuring that security is embedded across the full asset lifecycle—from project development and engineering through to commissioning, operation and decommissioning.

You will provide strategic leadership for cyber security governance, risk management, incident response and resilience across information technology and operational technology environments. Key responsibilities include developing security standards and policies; overseeing threat and vulnerability management; establishing effective monitoring, detection and response capabilities; and ensuring compliance with relevant regulatory, industry and infrastructure protection requirements. You will work closely with engineering, operations, technology, risk, legal and project teams to assess cyber risks, prioritise investment and deliver practical security improvements. The role will also involve managing security requirements for third parties, suppliers and major capital projects, as well as leading responses to significant cyber incidents and supporting business continuity and recovery planning.

The successful candidate will bring substantial experience in cyber security leadership within energy, utilities, industrial, manufacturing or another critical infrastructure environment. You will have a strong understanding of OT and IT security principles, industrial control systems, network architecture, cloud technologies, identity management and secure-by-design practices. Experience working with recognised frameworks and standards such as NIST, IEC 62443 or ISO 27001 is highly desirable. An ability to communicate complex risks clearly to senior stakeholders, influence at board and executive level, and build effective relationships across technical and non-technical teams is essential. You should be commercially aware, decisive and able to balance robust security controls with the operational demands of safe, reliable energy generation.
