Network Security Engineer (SOC)
We are seeking a Network Security Engineer (SOC) to support the monitoring, protection and continuous improvement of a complex network and security environment. Working as part of a security operations function, you will investigate alerts, analyse potential threats and help ensure that security incidents are identified, contained and resolved effectively. You will monitor network traffic, firewalls, intrusion prevention systems, endpoint controls and security information and event management (SIEM) platforms, escalating incidents in line with established procedures.
Key responsibilities will include triaging and responding to security events, conducting investigation and root-cause analysis, reviewing logs and indicators of compromise, and maintaining clear, accurate incident records. You will assist with vulnerability identification, threat hunting, security monitoring use cases and the development of detection and response procedures. The role will also involve configuring and maintaining network security technologies, supporting firewall and access-control reviews, contributing to security improvements, and collaborating with infrastructure, cloud, service desk and technology teams to remediate risks. You may also support compliance activities, audits, reporting and the preparation of technical recommendations for security resilience.
Applicants should have experience in a network security, security operations or incident response role, with a strong understanding of TCP/IP, DNS, VPNs, routing, switching, firewalls and common attack techniques. Practical experience with SIEM, intrusion detection and prevention, endpoint security, vulnerability management and network monitoring tools is essential. You should be comfortable analysing technical data, prioritising competing incidents and communicating clearly with both technical and non-technical colleagues. Relevant certifications such as Security+, CySA+, CCNA Security, CISSP or equivalent experience would be advantageous. A methodical approach, strong attention to detail, sound judgement and a commitment to continuous learning are essential for success in this role.
