· Coordinate cross-directorate engagement with Operations, Engineering, Cyber, and Regulatory teams to maintain oversight of OT risk, resilience, and compliance obligations
· Provide senior technical decision-making authority on OT security architecture, system resilience, and change governance — ensuring continuity of safe gas network operations
What you will need
· Proven experience in OT or ICS asset management, including hands-on familiarity with SCADA systems, within a safety-critical or regulated environment
· Strong understanding of OT cybersecurity frameworks and regulatory obligations, including NIS Regulations, the Cyber Assessment Framework (CAF), and IEC 62443
· Experience in physical security asset management at Critical National Infrastructure (CNI) sites or equivalent high-security operational environments
· Demonstrated ability to lead capital programmes and manage cross-functional delivery across engineering, cyber, and operations disciplines
