Overview
We’ve partnered with a global engineering manufacturer seeking an Information Security Engineer to blend light alert response with delivering security projects and rollouts across a 10k-user enterprise. In a small, lean team (no tiered SOC), you’ll work directly with engineers and business stakeholders to harden controls, ship pragmatic improvements, and support upcoming programmes like DLP and third-party risk.
Responsibilities
- Take ownership of day-to-day security operations, responding to alerts, assessing risk, and following issues through to closure with clear communication.
- Deliver practical security improvements: from M365 hardening and server patching to firewall or network refresh projects.
- Lead and support structured rollouts across Azure, Entra ID, and Windows Server environments.
- Collaborate with Infrastructure and third-party suppliers on tooling such as EDR, web filtering, and email security.
- Drive remediation and coordinate change through CAB/RFC processes.
- Keep documentation current, playbooks, policies, and project summaries that help the wider team.
- Support awareness initiatives and help the business pragmatically adopt security best practices.
Qualifications
- Around 2-4 years’ experience in IT, with at least 12-18 months in a security or infrastructure role.
- A broad technical base across Azure / M365 / Entra, Active Directory, Windows Server, and networking fundamentals.
- Practical experience with EDR and web/email security tools (CrowdStrike, Defender for Endpoint, Zscaler, Mimecast, or similar).
- Evidence of delivering change, e.g., project rollouts, migrations, or improvements you’ve owned end-to-end.
- Confident communicator who can explain technical issues clearly to different audiences.
Benefits
33 days’ holiday (includes Easter weekend & May half-term), on-site collaboration culture, no on-call, early Friday finish, board-backed investment in security with real scope to upskill, on-site canteen and lakeside grounds with Saturday access to the golf course.
