Senior Information Security Consultant; OT

We’re problem solvers etimes the answer is technology, sometimes it is strategy, and sometimes it is a strong cup of tea and a bit of thoughtful conversation. Whatever it takes, we work it out with our clients.

We’re an IT consultancy that helps organisations get the best out of their technology. That means keeping them secure and keeping the bad guys out, making sure everything works and is easy to use, and doing smart things with data and software to give their business an edge. It is important work, and we care about doing it well and for the right reasons.

Life at Waterstons is friendly, flexible and built on trust. We hire people who are curious, thoughtful and good at getting to the heart of a problem. You get support, trust and room to grow in a place that still feels human. The unlimited holidays and private healthcare are a nice touch, although most people stay because it feels like the right place to do good work with good people.

As a Senior Information Security Consultant, you'll have an advanced understanding of, and over 5 years experience working with, organisations that have OT networks and standards used in the energy sector, such as the Cyber Assessment Framework and IEC ISA 99/62443.

You’ll be helping multiple clients with different aspects of their security. The role is interesting and varied and a great opportunity for those that prefer spontaneity over routine.

The successful candidate will ideally be based within the Glasgow region or be willing and able to travel to client sites in and around Glasgow for a minimum of two to three days per week, as required by the client.
