Operations Technician - Electrical/Cyber

Salary: £44,642 to £52,519 plus up to 6% bonus, overtime and standby allowance

Locations: Kirriemuir Compressor Station and associated Above Ground installations (Daily site travel)

About the role

We’re looking for a Cyber Technician (known internally as an ICA Technician) to join our Scotland and North S2 Operations Team, supporting the security and resilience of the National Gas Transmission System.

This role is ideally suited to an Operations Technician from an Electrical, Instrumentation, Control or Automation background who is looking to progress their career into cyber security within an operational environment. This is not a traditional IT or corporate cyber role. Instead, it is a hands‑on, site‑based position working directly with Operational Technology (OT) assets that underpin the UK’s critical gas infrastructure.

The role will cover our Kirriemuir Compressor stations as well as remote sites across the area, Daily travel to sites is required.

You’ll be part of a specialist team maintaining critical systems such as control systems, industrial PCs, firewalls, managed switches, and other OT assets across a range of operational gas sites from large gas terminals to smaller, unmanned locations.

In addition to day‑to‑day operational responsibilities, we will invest fully in your personal and professional development, providing training and support to help you build cyber capability and excel within this evolving technical discipline.

What you'll be doing

Placing health and safety first, demonstrating safe working practices to protect yourself, colleagues, contractors, and site visitors
Acting as a technical subject matter expert, bringing specialist operational and instrumentation knowledge into day‑to‑day activities across the Scotland and North S2 area.
Working with the planning team to effectively organise, prioritise and deconflict work, including routine maintenance, investigations and defect management
Completing routine maintenance of ICA and Cyber / OT assets across operational gas sites

Configuring and backing up OT systems
Maintaining asset data and credentials

Carrying out upgrades to meet vulnerability management requirements
Supporting capital project delivery, installation of new OT / Cyber assets, and secure disposal of retired equipment

About you

You’ll be a practical, hands‑on technician with a strong operational mindset and a desire to develop deeper cyber and OT security skills. You’ll take ownership of your work, apply a methodical and safety‑focused approach, and feel comfortable working independently across multiple sites.

You’ll bring:

A proactive attitude and willingness to learn
Strong problem‑solving and analytical skills
The ability to organise, prioritise and manage your workload effectively
A commitment to high technical and safety standards

This role is particularly well suited to someone who has worked in operations, E&I, instrumentation, or controls, and now wants to build a long‑term career in OT cyber security.
