Head of Cyber Security Renewables & Thermal
As Head of Cyber Security Renewables & Thermal, you will lead the strategy, governance and delivery of cyber security across a diverse portfolio of renewable and thermal generation assets. You will protect operational technology, industrial control systems, corporate platforms and critical infrastructure against evolving cyber threats, while enabling safe, reliable and resilient energy operations. Working closely with senior leaders across engineering, operations, technology, risk and compliance, you will translate business priorities into practical security measures and oversee their effective implementation.
Your responsibilities will include developing and maintaining a comprehensive cyber security strategy, standards and roadmap for generation facilities and supporting environments. You will lead risk assessments, security architecture reviews, vulnerability management, incident response readiness, threat monitoring and crisis exercises. The role will also oversee security requirements for new projects, acquisitions, suppliers and technology changes, ensuring that security is embedded throughout the asset lifecycle. You will establish appropriate performance metrics, report risk and maturity to senior stakeholders, and drive continuous improvement through audits, assurance activities and lessons learned. You will also provide leadership during significant cyber incidents and coordinate response and recovery with internal and external partners.
You will bring substantial experience in cyber security leadership within energy, utilities, industrial, manufacturing or another critical infrastructure environment, with a strong understanding of operational technology and industrial control systems. Experience managing cyber risk across geographically distributed assets, leading security programmes and influencing executive stakeholders is essential. You should be familiar with relevant security frameworks, regulatory expectations, incident management practices and third-party risk. Strong communication, decision-making and people leadership skills are required, together with the ability to balance security, operational continuity and commercial priorities. Professional certifications in cyber security, risk management or industrial control systems are desirable, as is experience working across renewable generation, thermal power or other complex energy environments.
