OT Security SME
We're seeking an experienced OT Security SME to support a major cybersecurity programme within the UK power sector.
This 12-month contract offers the opportunity to work on critical infrastructure security, focusing on cryptographic protection, key management and secure communications across operational technology environments.
You'll contribute to a multi-phase programme covering Hardware Security Module (HSM) implementation, Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) integration and Certificate Lifecycle Management (CLM). Working alongside OT engineering, operations and cybersecurity teams, you'll help assess deployment options, support testing and ensure security solutions are suitable for live operational environments.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
