Technical Delivery Support – OT Cyber Security
Contract Role
Scotland / Hybrid | UK Remote Considered
We are supporting a major OT Cyber Security transformation programme within a global FMCG manufacturing environment, with approximately US$10m of investment during FY27 and continued investment planned beyond this.
The programme is focused on strengthening cyber resilience across a large manufacturing estate and includes initiatives spanning network segmentation, secure remote access, asset management, application management, identity and access management, and continuous threat detection.
We are looking for a Technical Delivery Support contractor to work alongside the Technical Lead and Project Managers, providing hands-on technical coordination and delivery support across multiple projects.
This is an ideal opportunity for someone who understands technology within a live FMCG manufacturing or OT environment and is comfortable working across infrastructure, sites, suppliers and technical teams.
What You'll Be Doing
- Provide day-to-day technical delivery support across multiple OT Cyber Security projects.
- Work closely with Project Managers to resolve routine technical and infrastructure queries.
- Identify and coordinate infrastructure, connectivity, hosting, access, environment and site dependencies.
- Work with manufacturing site Engineering and OT teams to understand local environments and deployment constraints.
- Support technical discovery, site readiness, implementation sequencing, testing, cutover and transition activities.
- Coordinate technical prerequisites and dependencies between sites, suppliers and internal technology teams.
- Act as a key coordination point between Project Managers, infrastructure teams, OT teams, suppliers and technical SMEs.
- Maintain technical delivery documentation, site information, dependencies and implementation decisions.
- Apply established technical patterns and standards consistently across sites.
- Identify opportunities to reuse solutions and improve delivery approaches across the manufacturing estate.
- Escalate complex, novel or high-risk technical decisions to the Technical Lead or relevant SME.
What We're Looking For
Essential
- Strong experience supporting technical infrastructure or technology delivery projects.
- Experience working within manufacturing, FMCG, supply chain, engineering or OT environments.
- Understanding of the challenges involved in delivering technology across live operational/manufacturing sites.
- Strong stakeholder and supplier coordination skills.
- Experience managing multiple concurrent projects, dependencies and technical activities.
- Ability to troubleshoot technical issues and coordinate the right teams to resolve them.
- Strong communication and documentation skills.
Desirable
- Previous experience within OT Cyber Security or industrial technology.
- Experience with manufacturing site infrastructure.
- Exposure to cyber security technologies, network segmentation, secure remote access, asset management or related initiatives.
- Experience working with global or multi-site organisations.
- Previous experience within a large FMCG/manufacturing organisation.
Important
This is not an architecture or technical leadership role. You will not be expected to own programme architecture, approve security exceptions or define technical strategy.
Instead, you will be the person who coordinates, unblocks and drives technical delivery forward, allowing the Technical Lead to focus on architecture, technical strategy and governance. The source profile similarly defines the role as coordinating, unblocking, executing and documenting rather than owning programme technical strategy.
Location
Scotland preferred, with hybrid working and regular engagement with manufacturing sites across Scotland.
Candidates elsewhere in the UK can be considered where they have the right experience and are able to travel to site when required.
