Full job description
Gas Operations Cyber Technician
Salary: £42,813 to £47,850 plus up to 6% bonus, overtime and standby allowance
About us
National Gas is securing Britain’s energy. We transport gas throughout Great Britain, repair and maintain gas pipelines, and manage the meters that allow millions of homes and businesses to access the energy they need. We are the national gas network, providing secure energy to power Britain, achieve net zero, and maintain our industrial competitiveness.
About the role
We’re looking for a Gas Operations Cyber Technician to join our Operations team, supporting the security and resilience of the National Gas Transmission System. This is not a typical IT or corporate cyber role. This is a hands-on position working directly with Operational Technology (OT) assets that underpin the UK’s gas infrastructure.
You’ll be part of a team maintaining critical systems such as control systems, industrial PCs, firewalls, and managed switches across a variety of operational sites, from major gas terminals to smaller Above Ground Installations (AGI's). Your work will directly contribute to the cyber resilience of our gas operations, ensuring that essential infrastructure remains secure, compliant, and operational.
What you'll be doing
Supporting routine cyber maintenance across operational gas sites
Backing up configurable OT devices and ensuring business continuity
Maintaining accurate asset data and managing access credentials securely
Carrying out upgrades to meet vulnerability management requirements
Securely disposing of retired OT assets
Assisting with malware sweeps and cyber incident investigations
Facilitating cyber assurance visits and supporting site access for upgrade projects
Keeping network drawings and asset records up to date
Participating in an on-call rota for key cyber functions
Collaborating closely with the central security team to ensure compliance and readiness
About you
You'll be a practical problem-solver with a methodical approach to your work and a strong sense of ownership. You'll be confident working independently and as part of a team, with the ability to organise, prioritise, and manage tasks effectively. Your attention to detail and analytical mindset will help you navigate challenges and contribute to the smooth running of operational environments. You'll bring a proactive attitude, a willingness to learn, and a commitment to maintaining high standards in everything you do.
