Junior Offensive Security Consultant
We are seeking a Junior Offensive Security Consultant to support the delivery of high-quality penetration testing and security assessment services across a range of client environments. Working alongside experienced consultants, you will help identify, validate and communicate security weaknesses in applications, infrastructure, networks and cloud environments. This is an opportunity to develop practical offensive security skills while contributing to engagements that help organisations improve their resilience against real-world threats.
Your responsibilities will include assisting with scoping and preparing assessments, conducting vulnerability research and testing, documenting evidence, and analysing findings to determine their potential business impact. You will contribute to clear, accurate technical reports and help prepare client-facing presentations or debriefs. Depending on experience and project requirements, activities may include web application testing, internal and external network assessments, vulnerability validation, configuration reviews, wireless testing, and supporting red-team or social-engineering exercises. You will be expected to maintain professional communication with clients, manage tasks effectively, follow agreed methodologies, and handle sensitive information responsibly.
Applicants should have a genuine interest in offensive security and a foundational understanding of networking, operating systems, authentication, common vulnerabilities and security testing principles. Familiarity with tools such as Burp Suite, Nmap, Metasploit, Wireshark or equivalent technologies is desirable, as is experience with scripting or programming in Python, PowerShell, Bash or a similar language. Relevant certifications, academic study, home-lab experience, capture-the-flag participation or demonstrable personal projects will be welcomed. Strong written and verbal communication, analytical thinking, attention to detail and a willingness to learn are essential. The successful candidate will be organised, curious, ethical and comfortable working collaboratively while developing the skills required for progression within offensive security consulting.
