This role is focused on supporting our portfolio of generation assets, and therefore will require some travel to sites throughout the UK approximately 30% of the time.

To be successful in this role, you will be able to demonstrate the following:
- An understanding of Operational Technology (OT) environments, including Industrial Control Systems (ICS), SCADA, and plant networks is highly desirable but not required.
- A genuine interest in OT environments coupled with the desire to learn and develop is most important.
- Experience in deploying and supporting cyber security tooling such as security monitoring solutions (SIEM / logging platforms), network intrusion detection systems (IDS) and endpoint protection / EDR solutions.
- Knowledge of networking and infrastructure e.g. network architectures, firewalls and network segmentation.
- Knowledge of cyber security principles and frameworks such as NIS/CAF and IEC 62443.
