At Jacobs, we're challenging today to reinvent tomorrow by solving the world's most critical problems for thriving cities, resilient environments, mission-critical outcomes, operational advancement, scientific discovery and cutting-edge manufacturing, turning abstract ideas into realities that transform the world for good.

Our Cyber and Operational Technology teams help clients protect the systems and services that society depends on every day. From energy networks and water infrastructure to transportation and critical manufacturing environments, we work alongside our clients to strengthen cyber resilience, reduce risk, and safeguard critical national infrastructure.

As demand for cyber security expertise continues to grow, we're looking for OT Cyber Security Consultants to join our expanding team. You'll work on meaningful projects across a diverse range of sectors, helping clients tackle complex security challenges while developing your own career within a collaborative and supportive environment.

As a OT Cyber Security Consultant, you'll act as a trusted advisor to clients, providing practical cyber security expertise across technology programmes, operational environments, and security transformation initiatives.

Working closely with technical specialists, project teams and senior stakeholders, you'll help organisations make informed security decisions, improve resilience, and embed security into the design and operation of their critical systems.

You'll have the opportunity to work across multiple industries, including energy, water, transport, manufacturing and other critical infrastructure sectors, giving you exposure to a wide variety of clients, technologies and challenges.

What you'll be doing

• Providing cyber security advice and assurance across complex IT and operational technology environments.
• Supporting clients in implementing secure-by-design principles across programmes, projects and technology change initiatives.
• Conducting cyber risk assessments, security reviews and control assurance activities.
• Translating industry standards and frameworks such as NIST CSF, NCSC CAF, ISO 27001 and IEC 62443 into practical, business-focused solutions.
• Helping clients understand regulatory requirements including NIS and NIS2 and supporting effective compliance.
• Working closely with delivery teams, engineers, architects and operational stakeholders to implement proportionate and effective security controls.
• Building trusted relationships with client teams and supporting cyber security decision making at all levels of an organisation.
• Contributing to the continuous improvement of our cyber capability through knowledge sharing, innovation and mentoring.

We know that no candidate will meet every requirement, and we'd encourage you to apply if your experience aligns with most of the following:

• Experience delivering cyber security consultancy, assurance or secure-by-design services.
• Knowledge of recognised frameworks and standards such as NIST CSF, ISO 27001, IEC 62443 or NCSC CAF.
• Experience completing risk assessments, security reviews and control validation activities.
• Strong stakeholder management skills with the ability to communicate effectively across technical and non-technical audiences.
• Experience working within regulated or critical infrastructure environments.
• Knowledge of one or more areas including OT/ICS security, cloud security, network security, infrastructure security or security architecture.
• A collaborative approach and passion for helping clients solve complex security challenges.

Ideally, you'll also have

• Industry certifications such as CISSP, CISM, ISO 27001 Lead Implementer, SABSA or IEC 62443.
• Experience within critical national infrastructure sectors including energy, utilities, water, transportation or nuclear.
• Experience supporting security transformation, governance or compliance programmes.
• Understanding of operational technology environments and industrial control systems.
