Job description

Are you passionate about helping transport organisations design, develop and deploy sophisticated and innovative solutions? We help our clients protect themselves and critical infrastructures from cyber incidents and ensure safe and resilient transportation.

The transport sector is rapidly changing with a dramatic increase in interconnectivity and the use of smart technologies to manage and operate our infrastructures.

We bring a rich mix of insight and expertise to our clients’ challenges by combining our knowledge and experience across transport, utilities and wider critical national infrastructures. Our priority is to build lasting partnerships with our clients.

Every organisation wants to improve the way it works and make best use of new technology.  Today that means use of digitisation, automation, and artificial intelligence to harness efficiencies and new routes to users.  All of this needs to be done in a way that ensures cyber resilience of our critical infrastructures and protects individuals’ data. As we grow our Cyber Transformation capability, we are looking for dynamic and compelling individuals who can help clients understand the potential benefits of trusted digitisation enabled by digital trust and good cyber security.
