The role

From evolving security tooling and capabilities, to advising on complex programmes and shaping solution design, or building resilient, secure infrastructure foundations-your work will directly support the systems that power renewable energy.
You'll collaborate with delivery teams, suppliers, and senior stakeholders to design secure solutions, influence key decisions, and translate regulatory requirements into practical outcomes. This is a role where your judgement, communication, and ability to drive change will matter just as much as your technical expertise.
