  • Maintain the station asset inventory and risk register to track actions and report progress.
  • Carry out malware checks in line with established procedures.
  • Administer computer based security and monitoring systems.
  • Carry out software or configuration backups of IT and OT equipment ranging in age.
  • Participate in cyber incident response planning, exercising and digital forensic investigation.
  • Ensure station documentation and network diagrams are maintained and accurately reflect design and configuration changes for new connections.
  • Maintain awareness of current cyber security threats and vulnerabilities facing the industry or station OT assets. Provide advice on practical mitigations proportional to the risk.
  • Contribute to new initiatives making use of technological developments to improve security and work closely with counterparts within the fleet to share information and experience.
  • Produce and communicate learning briefs for user awareness, deliver training as required to educate and improve the security culture at all levels.
  • Interface with NCSC and ONR, hosting security inspections as directed by the regulator.
  • Handle and appropriately protect sensitive or restricted information.

Who you are

An understanding of relevant industry security standards and frameworks such as IEC 62443, ISO 27001 or NIST 800.
  • Working knowledge of typical OT plant computing such as ICS, SCADA, DCS, PLC, HMI and smart instruments.
  • Experience of both modern and legacy computer systems, with a breadth of hardware and software technical skills. Familiarisation with all types of storage media and digitisation thereof, including EPROM programming.
  • An understanding of network security principles, aware of DMZ architecture for securing cross domain communication and know about industrial protocols such as serial, Modbus, OPC and HART. Experience configuring switches, routers and firewalls is advantageous.
  • Lead by example demonstrating good digital hygiene practices and be able to assess both standard and unconventional devices for malware.
  • A high level of attention to detail and good record keeping.
  • Ability to work on your own initiative, build effective relationships with system owners and clearly communicate technical security concepts in simpler terms.
  • Hold or be able to attain professional certifications such as CISSP, GICSP or CCNA.
  • Hold or be able to attain and maintain SC national security vetting.

Location
  • Site based location, East Lothian. Potential of hybrid remote working after an initial probation period.
