Project Manager (SecOps)

Cadent Gas Ltd

Be the driving force behind secure transformation at Cadent.  

At Cadent, we don’t just deliver gas to 11 million homes — we deliver peace of mind, resilience and reliability every single day. As the UK’s largest gas distribution network, we’re investing heavily in the future of secure energy. Our Security Operations (SecOps) team is central to that mission — and we’re looking for a talented and driven Project Manager to help us deliver critical, high-impact projects that protect our infrastructure, systems, and customers.

This isn’t your average project manager role. You’ll sit at the heart of one of our most strategic programmes — leading the delivery of cutting-edge security projects that span cyber, physical, operational and regulatory domains. From implementing threat detection platforms to embedding national security standards, your work will play a vital role in safeguarding our people, our data, and the energy systems that keep the UK moving.

If you're excited by the idea of taking ownership, managing risk, driving transformation, and working alongside top experts in security and resilience — this is your opportunity to shine.

This is a  hybrid role with 3 days a week based in one of our offices (Ansty,Coventry / Leicester), with flexibility around how the remaining time is spent.

Why you’ll love this job  

This role gives you the chance to do what you do best — manage complex projects — but with real purpose. You’ll be driving forward a security agenda that protects millions and supports a safer, smarter energy future. All while developing your career within a growing, highly visible function at the heart of Cadent.
