You'll work closely with engineering, operations, IT, cybersecurity teams and external partners to deliver innovative solutions that support safe and efficient operations.

Key responsibilities include:

  • Designing OT architectures across SCADA, PLC, DCS, HMI, historian and industrial network environments.
  • Developing integrated OT/IT solutions and defining data flows and system interfaces.
  • Providing technical assurance and governance for OT designs and implementations.
  • Supporting OT cybersecurity initiatives and ensuring alignment with standards such as IEC 62443, NIST and ISO 27001.
  • Leading technical engagement with system integrators, vendors and operational stakeholders.
  • Supporting deployment, testing, commissioning and migration activities across OT environments.

You'll bring significant experience in Operational Technology and industrial control system architecture, with a deep understanding of complex operational environments.

We're particularly interested in candidates with:

  • Experience designing OT solutions involving SCADA, PLC, DCS, RTU, HMI and historian technologies.
  • Knowledge of industrial communications protocols such as OPC-UA, Modbus/TCP, DNP3, PROFINET, Ethernet/IP and BACnet.
  • Experience designing secure OT networks, including segmentation, firewalls and Purdue Model principles.
  • Strong understanding of OT cybersecurity, including IEC 62443, NIST and ISO 27001 frameworks.
  • Experience integrating OT environments with wider enterprise platforms, cloud or edge technologies.
  • The ability to influence stakeholders and provide technical leadership across multidisciplinary teams.

Desirable

  • TOGAF, SABSA, CISSP, GICSP or ISA/IEC 62443 certifications.
  • Experience working within highly regulated or safety-critical industries such as water, energy, transport or pharmaceuticals.
  • Exposure to digital twins, predictive maintenance or advanced analytics solutions.

Why join Southern Water?

Why it works

3×

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.
