We’re seeking a Senior OT Security Architect to join a fast-paced consulting engagement within a complex, high-impact technology environment.
The Senior OT / CNI Security Architect will help secure some of the most critical environments in the UK – from energy and utilities to transport, manufacturing and wider CNI clients.
You’ll blend hands-on technical expertise and security architecture with a consulting mindset, acting as a trusted advisor to clients and shaping secure-by-design OT/ICS and hybrid IT/OT solutions.
What you’ll do:
* Design and deliver OT / CNI security architectures for ICS/SCADA, industrial networks and hybrid IT/OT environments
* Produce key artefacts: threat models, risk assessments, high/low-level designs, security roadmaps
* Work with client engineering, ops and security teams in a trusted advisor capacity
* Lead or support cyber/OT security assessments and transformation projects
* Contribute to the development of our OT / CNI consulting offerings and collateral
What we’re looking for
* Strong experience designing and implementing cybersecurity controls across OT and/or hybrid environments
* Experience cyber / information security consulting or auditing
* Good knowledge of frameworks such as IEC 62443, NIS/NIS2, NIST, ISO 27001, CIS, CAF, Cyber Essentials
* Comfortable engaging with both technical and non-technical stakeholders
* Adaptable, curious, and able to work across different sectors and technologies
Nice to have
* CISSP, CISM, CISA, SABSA, TOGAF, ISO 27001 Lead Auditor/Implementer
* Cloud (Azure / AWS) and/or IAM / PAM experience
* Background in OT, CNI or industrial environments
Why join our client:
* A genuinely flexible environment – work where and how you’re most productive. The team comes together regularly for meetups and technical sessions that feel more like catching up with friends than formal meetings.
* A culture built on trust and respect – you’ll find leaders who listen, colleagues who share knowledge freely in an autonomous environment.
* Genuine work-life balance – they know great work comes from happy people, not long hours.
* Continuous growth – ongoing training, certifications, and support to help you develop into senior architecture and advisory roles.
* Variety and impact – projects span OT, secure infrastructure, identity, network, and endpoint security across on-premises, cloud, and hybrid environments (Azure, AWS, M365).
