Gloucester Business Park, Gloucester or Atlantic Quay, Glasgow. Hybrid with flexible home and office working supported. Some travel to EDF power station sites as required.

 

 

Are you ready to lead the charge in safeguarding the future of the nuclear industry from cyber threats?

 

 

The Opportunity…

 

Join us as our Cyber Incident Response Manager as part of our Nuclear Services business. Nuclear Services is our technical centre of excellence, supporting our existing fleet of nuclear power stations and our nuclear new build projects.

 

You’ll play a pivotal role in developing and implementing a robust, end-to-end capability for managing cyber incidents across our nuclear licensees.

 

You will lead efforts to ensure readiness, resilience, and rapid recovery from potential cyber threats, collaborating with key stakeholders, shaping sector-level policies, and representing EDF at national working groups.

 

This is a vital role to protect critical infrastructure, manage risks effectively, and establish a first-class incident response system aligned with government and industry best practices.

 

 

Pay, benefits and culture…

 

Alongside a competitive starting salary (negotiable depending on experience), and a market-leading pension scheme, your package will include a range of benefits, from the big and formal to the small and personal.

 

We’re talking about everything from enhanced parental leave to electric vehicle leasing, health insurance to product discounts, critical illness insurance to technology vouchers, gym membership to season ticket loans.

 

At EDF UK, we embrace flexibility while recognising that everyone's working needs are different. Whether you're in our office spaces, on site, or working remotely, we promote an environment that supports collaboration, connection, and comfort. No matter where you are, our priority is to make sure you feel safe, valued, and celebrated.

 

Here, we do right by each other and everyone’s welcome. We’re on an action-oriented journey, championing equity, diversity, and inclusion. We’d like our future workforce to have an equal gender balance, represent a broad mix of people from minority ethnic backgrounds, LGBTQ+, those with a disability and supporting social mobility.  

 

We’re a disability confident employer and we’ll do all we can to help with your application. Please let us know if you need to request reasonable adjustments.

 

We take pride in fostering a dynamic and inclusive environment, where the diverse backgrounds and experiences of our employees drive fresh thinking and innovation. We understand that success means different things to different people. We believe there are multiple definitions of what it means to succeed. That’s why we support you to pursue a career that’s unique to you. Because success is personal.

 

 

What you’ll be doing…

 

As the Cyber Incident Response Manager, you’ll:

 

• Establish and lead a pool of skilled first responders across nuclear licensees to enhance cyber readiness.
• Develop out-of-hours response capabilities and oversee incident analysis and forensic processes.
• Design, plan, and deliver cyber security exercises, including board-level scenarios, ensuring alignment with nuclear emergency arrangements.
• Advise stakeholders on risks and mitigation strategies based on the latest threat intelligence.
• Build relationships with external agencies like the NCSC and ONR while integrating incident response protocols into existing emergency frameworks.
• Lead a team of experts and retained consultants, ensuring the development and well-being of your group.
• Provide on-the-ground support during major incidents, coordinating containment and recovery efforts.

 

 

Who you are…

 

You’re a strategic thinker and a hands-on leader with a proven track record in cyber incident response, particularly in complex or regulated environments.

 

You have:

 

• Strong knowledge of national and international security standards (e.g., ISO27000, NIST, Mitre ATT&CK).
• Practical experience in addressing complex cyber threats and managing incidents.
• Outstanding communication skills to influence and advise senior stakeholders, including at board level.
• Familiarity with Industrial Control Systems (ICS) and operational technology environments.
• A proactive mindset with the ability to work independently, manage teams, and meet critical milestones.

 

Desirable qualifications such as CISSP, CISM, or SANS certifications would set you apart, as would experience in the nuclear or government sector.

 

 

This is your chance to make a tangible impact on one of the most critical and high-profile sectors in the UK. Lead with purpose, collaborate with experts, and drive innovation in cyber security at EDF.

 

 

Closing Date: 26th January 2025

 

 

Success is personal. It’s your journey, powered by us. Join us and we’ll help Britain achieve Net Zero, together.
