Lead Infrastructure Engineer
New Today
Join a leading system integrator delivering high-impact OT infrastructure solutions across the energy, utilities, and industrial sectors. This role sits in a well-established engineering team focused on secure, resilient systems design and delivery within highly regulated environments.
Operational Technology (OT) experience is essential. This role won’t suit someone from a purely enterprise IT background.

Key Responsibilities
Lead design and configuration of Windows Server environments, virtualisation (VMware/Hyper-V), and network infrastructure
Define secure architectures in line with IEC 62443 and client-specific standards
Support project lifecycle documentation (FDS, SDS, test plans), FAT execution, and QA compliance
Mentor and review work of junior engineers and provide SME input across bids and live workstreams
Interface with internal cyber teams to ensure systems are secure by design
Key Requirements
5+ years’ experience working in OT or industrial environments (energy, utilities, critical infrastructure, etc.)
Deep technical knowledge of:
Windows Server 2016–2022, domain config, GPOs
VMware or Hyper-V virtualisation
Switch and firewall configuration
Strong understanding of cybersecurity standards (IEC 62443)
Confident producing design documentation and leading technical delivery
Willingness to travel for projects across the UK
Full UK driving licence
Desirables:
SCADA platform experience (Zenon, PCS7, WinCC, FactoryTalk, etc.)
Knowledge of industrial protocols (Modbus, IEC 104/61850, DNP3) and PLC/RTU platforms (GE, Siemens, Rockwell, Schneider)
Experience with IEC 61508/61511 safety systems
Familiarity with simulation tools (e.g. SIMIT, WinMOD) and legacy systems
