Location: You’ll work where the client needs you. Which could be London, Guildford, or a muddy substation off the M20. Theres a hybrid model in theory, but in practice… well, it’s the energy sector. Boots on ground still matters.
Salary: Happy to talk up to around the £70,000 mark.
You’ll want this job if:
* You’re good at cyber security consulting and tired of death-by-framework with no real-world impact.
* You know NCSC CAF, NIST and IEC 62443 aren’t Pokémon, and you’ve actually used them in anger.
* You’re sick of working on things that don’t matter and fancy contributing to something with actual national importance – like keeping the lights on. Literally.
Here’s the thing:
The UK’s energy infrastructure is under constant threat. From hostile actors, ageing systems, dodgy third-party vendors, and the odd overzealous intern with admin rights.
It needs people who know what they’re doing. Not “PowerPoint Ninjas” or “Security Evangelists”. Real people. Who understand complex systems, layered risk, and how to balance regulatory frameworks with operational realities.
That’s where you come in.
You’ll be parachuted into high-profile, high-stakes environments where your decisions will directly influence how well the UKs energy sector withstands cyber threats. You’ll be the one making sense of spaghetti systems, aligning them with NCSC-assured practices, and communicating risks without sounding like a Dalek.
Some stuff you’ll actually be doing:
* Advising energy companies, regulators, and infrastructure providers on how not to get breached – or fined.
* Writing documentation that doesn’t send readers into a coma.
* Working within and around frameworks like NCSC CAF, NIST and IEC 62443, and sometimes whatever the client’s CISO found on page 4 of Google.
* Translating technical risk into business risk, and business risk into boardroom decisions.
What you’ll need to bring:
* 5+ years working with complex ICT systems - ideally in or around Critical National Infrastructure and Operational Technology.
* A decent understanding of enterprise ICT and cloud environments.
* Strong opinions, loosely held, and the ability to back them up without being a jerk.
* Experience dealing with risk frameworks – and the good sense to know when to bend them (but not break them).
* Bonus points if youve worked in the energy, utilities, or wider CNI sectors before. If you’ve seen the inside of a substation, that counts too.
Some fine print (but worth reading):
* You’ll need to be eligible for UK Security Clearance. No exceptions.
* You’ll be part of a genuinely smart team at a consultancy that’s NCSC-assured.
* Travel will be a thing. Sometimes all week. Sometimes not. Just don’t expect to hide behind a webcam forever.
What’s in it for you?
Apart from a good salary and solid benefits, you’ll get:
* Career progression without selling your soul to management jargon.
* Funded training (not just the checkbox kind).
* Projects that matter. Like helping keep the UK’s energy infrastructure secure, resilient, and future-proof.
