Full job description
Sword is a leading provider of business technology solutions within the Energy, Public and Finance Sectors, driving transformational change within our clients. We use proven technology, specialist teams and domain expertise to build solid technical foundations across platforms, data, and business applications. We have a passion for using technology to solve business problems, working in partnership with our clients to help in achieving their goals.
About the role:
As an OT Security Architect, you will play a leading role in helping secure critical national infrastructure by shaping and enhancing security monitoring, detection and visibility across complex operational technology environments.
Working with some of the UK's most important energy and infrastructure organisations, you'll provide architectural leadership across OT security initiatives, helping clients strengthen cyber resilience while maintaining the safety, reliability and performance of operational systems.
This role combines technical architecture, security assessment and strategic advisory responsibilities. You'll work closely with OT engineers, cyber security specialists, SOC teams and senior stakeholders to assess existing capabilities, define future-state security architectures and deliver practical improvements that enhance detection maturity and operational visibility.
The role offers the opportunity to influence OT security strategy, establish best practice and contribute to the protection of critical industrial environments that underpin essential services.
As an OT Security Architect, you will:
Design and assess secure OT architectures across Purdue Levels 3–3.5
Review network segmentation, security controls and monitoring integrations within industrial environments
Conduct assessments of OT SIEM platforms, logging coverage and detection maturity
Evaluate the effectiveness of existing monitoring and threat detection capabilities
Identify gaps and develop practical recommendations to improve visibility and security outcomes
Define OT logging and telemetry strategies, including data sources, collection methods and retention requirements
Support the implementation of monitoring and detection capabilities across OT environments
Establish approaches for detection engineering, monitoring governance and continuous improvement
Ensure solutions align with recognised frameworks including NCSC CAF and IEC 62443
Support compliance activities, audits and security improvement programmes within critical infrastructure environments
Collaborate with OT engineers, SOC teams and business stakeholders to ensure solutions are practical and operationally effective
Develop roadmaps and recommendations that balance security requirements with operational constraints
Prepare and present technical documentation, reports and architecture outputs
We're looking for someone with significant experience in OT cyber security, security architecture and industrial environments, combined with the ability to influence stakeholders and provide technical leadership across complex programmes.
You'll bring:
Proven experience working within OT security architecture, industrial cyber security or OT consultancy roles
Strong understanding of the Purdue Model and industrial network segmentation principles
Experience assessing or implementing SIEM platforms within OT environments
Knowledge of OT logging, monitoring and detection strategies
Familiarity with industrial control systems, SCADA environments and OT protocols
Experience working with security frameworks and standards such as NCSC CAF and IEC 62443
Experience defining security roadmaps and architecture recommendations
Strong analytical and problem-solving skills
The ability to communicate technical concepts clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders
Strong stakeholder engagement and consultancy skills
Experience working within critical infrastructure, utilities, energy or industrial sectors
Qualifications & technical experience:
Relevant degree or equivalent practical experience
Experience designing or assessing OT security architectures
Understanding of security monitoring, detection engineering and governance practices
Knowledge of Critical National Infrastructure (CNI) environments
Utilities, energy or industrial sector experience highly desirable
Security certifications such as CISSP, GICSP, GRID, SABSA or equivalent are beneficial but not essential
