Job Title: OT Security Architect

Location: Falmer or Durrington – Hybrid working (2 days a week)

Salary: depending on skills and experience

Join Southern Water and help protect the critical infrastructure that delivers essential services to millions of customers every day.

We're looking for an experienced OT Security Architect to lead the design and governance of secure Operational Technology (OT) environments across our business. This is a unique opportunity to work at the forefront of cyber security, engineering and digital transformation, safeguarding industrial control systems while enabling innovation across our operational sites.

What will you be doing?

As our OT Security Architect, you'll play a pivotal role in ensuring the security and resilience of our industrial control systems, SCADA platforms, automation networks and connected operational technologies. Working closely with engineering, IT, cyber security and operational teams, you'll define secure architectures, manage cyber risk and embed security-by-design principles across major programmes and projects.

Key responsibilities include:

  • Designing and maintaining OT security architectures, standards and frameworks.
  • Developing secure solutions across SCADA, PLC, DCS, HMI, historian, IIoT and edge environments.
  • Creating secure network designs incorporating segmentation, firewalls, DMZs and Zero Trust principles.
  • Leading OT security risk assessments and ensuring compliance with standards including IEC 62443, NIST 800-82, ISO 27001 and NIS2.
  • Supporting IT/OT convergence initiatives and defining secure integration patterns between operational and enterprise environments.
  • Providing expert guidance, threat modelling and security design assurance for projects and programmes.
  • Supporting cyber incident response planning, resilience testing and recovery strategies.

What are we looking for?

You'll bring a strong background in OT or industrial cyber security, combined with the ability to influence stakeholders and drive secure outcomes across complex operational environments.

You'll ideally have:

  • Extensive experience securing OT, ICS or industrial automation environments.
  • Strong knowledge of SCADA, PLC, DCS, RTU, HMI and historian technologies.
  • Experience designing secure OT networks, including zoning, segmentation, firewalls and DMZ architectures.
  • Knowledge of industrial protocols such as OPC-UA, Modbus, PROFINET, Ethernet/IP, BACnet and DNP3.
  • Strong understanding of OT cyber security frameworks including IEC 62443, NIST 800-82, ISO 27001 and NIS2.
  • Experience with vulnerability management, threat detection, monitoring tools and secure remote access solutions.
  • The ability to communicate complex technical concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences.

Desirable

  • Professional certifications such as CISSP, GICSP, TOGAF, SABSA or ISA/IEC 62443.
  • Experience working in critical national infrastructure, regulated industries or safety-critical environments.
  • Exposure to cloud-connected OT environments, edge computing or IIoT platforms.

Why Southern Water?

This is an opportunity to make a real impact by protecting systems and services that communities rely on every day. You'll work on complex and rewarding challenges, influence strategic technology decisions and help shape the future of OT cyber security across Southern Water.

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
