Security Engineer – IT/OT

£65,000–£75,000 + benefits

Are you an IT/OT Security Engineer looking to work on meaningful, security-critical infrastructure projects across the UK?

We’re looking for a mid-level Security Engineer to deliver secure-by-design controls across complex IT/OT environments. You’ll play a key role in helping clients strengthen operational resilience, align with regulatory frameworks, and improve cyber maturity across critical infrastructure estates.

The Role

You’ll support both design and implementation of security controls across IT/OT environments, aligned to:

IEC 62443
Purdue segmentation
NIS / NIS2
NCSC CAF
IEC 61850

This is a hands-on engineering role with real impact — combining technical delivery, consultancy input, and client collaboration.

What You’ll Be Doing

Security Design & Consultancy

Produce security design documentation, risk treatments, and test plans
Contribute to SOC visibility requirements and detection use cases
Support compliance and audit readiness

Implementation & Engineering

Execute builds, validation, and remediation activities
Maintain hardened baselines and secure configuration artefacts
Ensure strong authentication, logging, backup, and recovery coverage
Apply defence-in-depth principles across IT/OT estates

Remote Delivery

Deliver diagnostics and changes remotely
Coordinate effectively with site teams and third-party vendors
Maintain accurate as-built documentation and runbooks

What We’re Looking For

3–6 years’ experience in security engineering or IT/OT delivery
Experience working in operational technology or critical infrastructure environments
Strong understanding of segmentation and industrial security principles
Clear communicator, confident engaging with technical and non-technical stakeholders
Comfortable working autonomously in a remote UK role

Desirable Certifications (not essential)

Cisco CCNA / CCNP
GICSP
CISSP
CompTIA Security+ or (ISC)² SSCP

If you're looking to grow your IT/OT security career in a role that blends engineering, governance, and real-world infrastructure impact — we’d love to hear from you.
