Network Plus

Network Plus has been laying and maintaining the UK's physical backbone since 2000 - gas mains, power lines, water networks, fibre, and transport infrastructure. The company employs more than 6,500 professionals and serves millions of customers nationwide across those verticals. That kind of operational footprint means a sprawling attack surface: SCADA systems, field management platforms, IoT-connected assets, and the identity sprawl that comes with a distributed workforce spanning the country. The cybersecurity challenge here isn't abstract. It's about defending critical national infrastructure - gas, power, water, telecoms - where a compromised network doesn't just mean data loss but physical disruption. Network Plus operates with a documented commitment to safety compliance and operational excellence, which translates into strict regulatory obligations around OT security, supply chain integrity, and incident response across utility and transport sectors. Roles here sit at the intersection of industrial control systems and enterprise IT security. Think ICS/SCADA hardening, secure network architecture for field operations, and governance frameworks that satisfy both utility regulators and the realities of boots-on-the-ground infrastructure work. The company's long-term client partnerships across major UK utilities mean security teams operate within complex, multi-stakeholder environments where reliability and compliance aren't optional - they're the job.
