Network Security Engineer
We are seeking a Network Security Engineer to design, implement, and maintain secure, resilient network infrastructure across a complex technology environment. The successful candidate will help protect systems, applications, and data by developing effective security controls, monitoring network activity, and responding to emerging threats. This role will work closely with infrastructure, cloud, systems, and compliance teams to ensure security is embedded throughout the organisation’s network architecture.
Key responsibilities include configuring and administering firewalls, VPNs, intrusion prevention and detection systems, secure web gateways, network access controls, and other security technologies. You will analyse alerts and traffic patterns, investigate security incidents, support vulnerability remediation, and contribute to incident response activities. The role will also involve conducting network security assessments, reviewing rules and configurations, maintaining technical documentation, and assisting with security testing and audit requirements. You will recommend improvements to network design and operational processes while helping to develop standards, procedures, and disaster recovery plans.
Applicants should have proven experience in network security engineering, with strong knowledge of TCP/IP, routing and switching, DNS, DHCP, authentication protocols, segmentation, and secure network design. Practical experience with enterprise firewalls, IDS/IPS, SIEM platforms, vulnerability scanners, and cloud networking is highly desirable. Relevant certifications such as CISSP, CCNP Security, PCNSE, or equivalent experience would be advantageous. You should be comfortable troubleshooting complex technical issues, interpreting logs, and communicating clearly with both technical and non-technical stakeholders. A methodical approach, strong analytical skills, and a commitment to continuous learning are essential, along with the ability to manage priorities effectively in a changing environment.
