This is not a traditional IT or desk‑based cyber role. We’re looking for an experienced Operations Technician - Cyber or Instrumentation, Control and Automation (ICA) Technician, known internally as a Cyber Technician, to join our West 4 Operations Team, based out of our Wormington site, supporting the security and resilience of the National Gas Transmission System, one of the UK’s most critical national infrastructures.
This is a home‑start, field‑based role covering the West 4 patch. You’ll spend your time out on operational sites rather than behind a desk, working hands‑on with live Operational Technology (OT) environments. From major gas terminals to smaller, remote installations, you’ll be directly involved in maintaining and protecting the systems that keep gas flowing safely across the country.
Rather than monitoring cyber threats from a screen, you’ll be on site, working with real industrial assets control systems, industrial PCs, firewalls and managed switches applying cyber security where it truly matters: in the physical world.
If you’re an ICA or OT professional looking for an operational, technical cyber role with genuine impact and responsibility, this is a chance to work at the very heart of the UK’s energy infrastructure.
What you’ll be doing
Put health and safety first by consistently applying safe systems of work across all operational sites.
Act as the OT cyber subject matter expert providing ICA and operational cyber expertise across the West 1 patch.
Plan and prioritise maintenance, investigations and defect resolution in collaboration with the planning team.
Maintain ICA and cyber assets and investigate faults across operational gas sites.
Protect critical infrastructure by securing OT systems through backups, credential management, malware scanning and upgrades.
Work closely with central cyber security teams to support compliance, readiness and asset upgrades.
Support cyber assurance activities by facilitating site access and assurance visits.
Install new OT and cyber assets and securely decommission retired equipment.
Participate in a 1‑in‑4 standby rota following training to support operational resilience.
