OT & Industrial Cyber Security - Future Opportunities | Register Your Interest

UK | Permanent & Contract | Various Locations

Please note: This is not a current live vacancy. This is an opportunity to register your interest in future OT and Industrial Cyber Security opportunities with Sword.

Your next OT opportunity could start here

The world of Operational Technology is evolving quickly, and so are the projects we support.

At Sword, we work with organisations operating complex, critical environments where technology, engineering and cyber security come together. As our work continues to grow, we're building a network of talented OT professionals who would like to hear from us about future opportunities.

You might be actively considering your next move, open to the right contract, or simply interested in keeping in touch.

Either way, we'd like to know more about you.

Who we'd like to connect with

We regularly recruit across a broad range of OT and industrial technology disciplines, including:

• OT / ICS Engineering
• OT Cyber Security & Security Engineering
• OT Infrastructure
• OT / ICS Network Engineering
• OT Security Consulting
• Controls & Automation
• OT Solutions Architecture
• OT Security Architecture
• SCADA & Industrial Control Systems
• OT Technical, Practice & Delivery Leadership

We're interested in OT professionals at different stages of their careers and across a wide range of technical disciplines.

You don't need to fit neatly into one category. OT is a broad space, and many people bring experience across several disciplines. We're interested in understanding where your expertise lies and what you might be looking for next.

The kind of work we do

Our teams support customers across sectors including energy, utilities and critical infrastructure, working within environments where resilience, security and operational continuity really matter.

Depending on the opportunity, this could involve areas such as

• OT/ICS infrastructure and industrial networks
• SCADA, DCS and PLC environments
• OT cyber security and secure-by-design
• Network architecture, segmentation and secure remote access
• Security assessments, risk and vulnerability management
• IEC 62443, NIST and NIS/NIS2
• OT monitoring, SIEM and threat detection
• Automation and infrastructure technologies
• Operational resilience, backup and disaster recovery
• Industrial and engineering platforms

We don't expect you to have experience across everything. We're just as interested in specialists with deep expertise in one area as we are in people with broad OT experience.

Permanent, contract or just keeping an eye on the market?

That's fine too.

Our requirements vary depending on our customers and projects, and we recruit for both permanent and contract opportunities across the UK.

Some roles are hybrid, others are based closer to customer sites or require travel depending on the nature of the project.

When you register, we'll ask a few short questions about the type of work you'd consider, your location preferences, availability and expectations. This helps us contact you about opportunities that are genuinely relevant to you.

Why register your interest?

Not every great conversation needs to start with a live vacancy.

By registering your interest, you'll become part of our OT talent network. When a requirement comes up that aligns with your experience and what you're looking for, our Talent Acquisition team can get in touch.

There's no expectation that you need to be actively job hunting today.

Interested in what could be next?

Send us your CV and tell us a little about what you're looking for.

Whether you're an OT Engineer, Consultant, Architect, Cyber Security specialist or technical leader, we'd be pleased to hear from you and keep the conversation open for the right opportunity.
