EDF (UK) Gloucester, England, United Kingdom
About The Role
Gloucester Business Park, Bristol - with flexibility of working from home, minimum 3 days a week in the office. Are you experienced in cyber security and familiar with industrial systems like ICS/OT? Do you have a background in regulated environments and want to grow your skills in incident response and resilience within the nuclear sector? If so, join EDF as a Cyber Incident Response Manager!
The Opportunity
As a Cyber Security Response Lead, you’ll build and maintain a coordinated incident response capability across nuclear licensees, ensuring resilience and alignment with emergency arrangements. You’ll support the rollout of response and recovery capabilities based on the NIST Framework and the Nuclear Cyber Security Strategy.
You’ll lead cyber security exercises, engage with sector working groups (including NCSC), and advise EDF on emerging threats and risk mitigation. When needed, you’ll support licensees during major incidents and provide crisis management guidance.
Pay, Benefits And Culture
Alongside a starting salary of £80,000 and a market-leading pension scheme, your package will include a range of benefits, from enhanced parental leave to electric vehicle leasing, health insurance to product discounts, critical illness insurance to technology vouchers, gym membership to season ticket loans.
At EDF UK, we embrace flexibility while recognising that everyone's working needs are different. Whether you're in our office spaces, on site, or working remotely, we promote an environment that supports collaboration, connection, and comfort.
We’re on an action-oriented journey, championing equity, diversity, and inclusion. We’d like our future workforce to have an equal gender balance, represent a broad mix of people from minority ethnic backgrounds, LGBTQ+, those with a disability and supporting social mobility.
We’re a disability confident employer and we’ll do all we can to help with your application. Please let us know if you need to request reasonable adjustments.
What You’ll Be Doing
As Cyber Incident Response Manager, you will lead response activities across nuclear licensees, managing a team and coordinating with retained consultants to ensure readiness and resilience. Expect to establish and mentor a pool of first responders, including out-of-hours capabilities, while driving continuous improvement through lessons learned and operational experience.
Collaboration with internal and external stakeholders—including NCSC, ONR, DESNZ, and EDF Enterprise IT—is key to sharing threat intelligence, guiding detection capability development, and advising on risk-based business impacts.
Who You Are
You’ll have strong knowledge of cyber security standards like ISO27000 and frameworks such as Mitre ATT&CK. You’ll understand how cyber threats affect both IT and industrial control systems, and have experience managing complex risks in regulated environments.
You’ll lead and support incident response efforts, build response plans, and run exercises to keep teams prepared. Strong communication and leadership skills are key, as you’ll work closely with stakeholders across EDF and external partners like NCSC and ONR.
We’re looking for someone who can work independently, make informed decisions, and guide others through cyber incidents. Experience in the nuclear or government sector is a plus, and qualifications like CISSP, CISM, or SANS would be beneficial.
