Cyber Security Operations Manager in Gloucester

Curious about how your cyber expertise can protect critical national infrastructure? Ready to lead meaningful work that keeps systems secure and resilient? At EDF, Success is Personal – and here, your impact on safety, security and the future of energy really matters.

The Opportunity

As a Cyber Security Operations Manager, you’ll join our Nuclear Services business – our technical centre of excellence, which supports our fleet of nuclear power stations and our nuclear new-build projects. In this role, you’ll lead across cyber operations and threat intelligence, be a key part of the incident response capability and engage with our Security Operations Centre ensuring our nuclear businesses stay resilient against evolving risks. You’ll also shape awareness and training across the organisation, helping colleagues understand the cyber threat, associated risk and how to manage it. From engaging with regulators to building strong partnerships, your work will strengthen trust, performance and long-term security. This is a hybrid role where our teams are present for 2-3 days a week at Gloucester Business Park, with the expectation you may join our nuclear emergency scheme and therefore need to live within a one-hour commute of this office. There will be the need to travel periodically to our nuclear sites.
