IT Security Operations Engineer

Birmingham (hybrid – 3 days per week onsite, 37.5hr week)

£55,000 - £60,000 plus outstanding, high-value benefits package

Our client, a public facing and well-known organisation with a people-first approach to both customers and employees is seeking an ambitious IT Security Engineer to join their well established IT department.

This is a great opportunity for a confident, driven IT professional with a strong infrastructure background who's ready to take the next step into security engineering.

You don't need to be a SecOps Engineering expert yet (of course, the more experience, the better), but you do need to be genuinely passionate about cybersecurity, eager to learn and confident working in a hands-on technical environment. You'll be joining a collaborative IT team, working closely with the Information Security Manager.

As Security Operations Engineer, you'll play a key part in protecting and improving the organisation's digital infrastructure. The work is operational and hands-on, maintaining and enhancing existing tools and controls, monitoring vulnerabilities and ensuring systems are patched and secure.

Responsibilities:

  • Managing and optimising security tools and platforms (SIEM, XDR, IDAM policies etc.)
  • Monitoring vulnerabilities, investigating incidents and implementing corrective actions
  • Supporting patching compliance and vulnerability remediation
  • Ensuring security best practices are applied across networks, applications and systems
  • Participating in change reviews and advising on improvements to existing setups
  • Supporting compliance experience against frameworks such as ISO27001, Cyber Essentials+ and CAF

Requirements:

  • A solid background in IT infrastructure and / or network engineering
  • Some exposure to, or a growing focus on, cybersecurity and vulnerability management
  • Understanding of network devices, configurations and security principles
  • Familiarity with common tools and concepts (e.g. SIEM, DLP, endpoint protection, firewalls, Cisco Secure Connect, etc.)
  • Confidence to identify issues, suggest improvements and work collaboratively across teams
  • A genuine passion for cyber security
  • Certifications such as CISSP, SC-200, or AZ-500 would be great to see, but aren't essential

Competitive salary and a range of excellent benefits on offer including free/heavily discounted travel, an industry leading pension scheme, 25 days holiday plus much more.
