OT Security Engineer
We are seeking an OT Security Engineer to help protect operational technology environments that support critical industrial processes. You will work across engineering, infrastructure, control systems and cyber security teams to strengthen the resilience of plant and operational networks while maintaining safety, availability and regulatory compliance.
Your responsibilities will include assessing OT environments, identifying vulnerabilities and evaluating cyber security risks across industrial control systems, supervisory control and data acquisition systems, programmable logic controllers, remote access solutions and associated network infrastructure. You will design and implement appropriate security controls, including network segmentation, secure configurations, access management, monitoring and incident response procedures.
You will contribute to security assessments, audits and risk reviews, ensuring that technical findings are clearly documented and translated into practical remediation plans. The role will also involve supporting the development and maintenance of OT security policies, standards, procedures and architectural principles. You may participate in incident investigations, threat modelling, vulnerability management and the safe deployment of security tools within operational environments.
We are looking for experience in OT, industrial control systems, industrial networking or a closely related cyber security discipline. You should have a good understanding of protocols such as Modbus, DNP3, OPC or Profinet, together with knowledge of network security technologies, vulnerability assessment and security monitoring. Familiarity with recognised frameworks and standards, such as IEC 62443, NIS2, NIST or ISO 27001, would be advantageous.
You will need strong analytical and communication skills, with the ability to explain complex security risks to both technical and non-technical audiences. A methodical approach, sound judgement and an understanding of the operational impact of security changes are essential. Relevant professional certifications or qualifications in cyber security, networking, industrial automation or engineering are desirable.
This role offers the opportunity to influence security strategy, improve operational resilience and work on meaningful initiatives in a complex, technically varied environment.
