Closing Date: 26th June

Due
to continued growth, we’re looking for a Senior Security Engineer to join our
Operations & Project Delivery function at our office in Glasgow, supporting
the security engineering compliance which includes NIS compliance and
governance.

As a Senior Security Engineer, you’ll be responsible for the
delivery of the strategic Security Engineering programme across our FlexGen
estate e.g. Hydro and BESS assets. Delivering both innovation and strategic
maintenance initiatives, tailored to meet Security requirements across Cyber, physical
and market economics, this provides an opportunity to play an integral role in
Drax’s continued evolution!

This role will require travel to sites across our FlexGen
portfolio throughout the UK.

Who we are:
We’re not just talking about making a difference, we’re
making it happen. We generate dispatchable, renewable power and create stable
energy in an uncertain world. Building on our proud heritage, we have ambition
to become the global leader in sustainable biomass and carbon removals.

You’ll be joining our teams of practical doers, future
thinkers and business champions. We’re enabling a zero carbon, lower cost
energy future for all, and working hard to decarbonise the planet for
generations to come.

About the role: 
As a Senior Security Engineer, you’ll deliver the Hydro
focussed NIS Enhanced Profile plan, including helping draft technical policy
and general documentation. You’ll also assist the FlexGen engineering teams
with the identification, remediation and avoidance of network-based attacks
from internal and external sources.

Key accountabilities include:

Utilise processes and technologies to detect and prevent malicious attacks to the FlexGen networks, ensuring a response to security events, from detection, analysis to closure.

Assist in ensuring the network architecture upholds the three principles of security: confidentiality, integrity, and availability (CIA) utilising pro-active monitoring, resilient technical design, effective capacity planning and identification and remediation of network vulnerabilities.

Maintain documentation of proposed & deployed infrastructure and contribute to Business Continuity Planning and Crisis Management.

Who we’re looking for: 
To be successful in this role you’ll ideally have…  

Experience of operating in a Cyber Security, network engineering, maintenance or operational role, with experience of operating within critical national infrastructure highly desirable.

Knowledge of network security technologies and processes, including understanding of current and emerging security threats and an awareness of systems and methods to counter them.

Design and implementation of security zones and conduits (IEC 62443)

Hands-on knowledge of Firewalls (enterprise and industrial).

Ability to read and interpret network diagrams, IP addressing schemes and VLAN and routing tables.

Strong interpersonal skills, with ability to build and manage relationships with colleagues, senior management and external stakeholders.

Strong oral and written communication skills, comfortable with creating and delivering reports, procedures, presentations.

Ability to interpret and understand complex analytical data to ensure effective decision making.

Rewards and benefits: 
As you help us to shape the future, we’ve shaped our rewards and benefits to
help you thrive and support your lifestyle. If successful in this role, you’ll
get:
