Network Security Engineer
We are seeking a skilled Network Security Engineer to design, implement and maintain secure, resilient network infrastructure across a complex technology environment. The successful candidate will help protect critical systems and data by strengthening network controls, monitoring for threats and responding effectively to security incidents. This role will work closely with infrastructure, cloud, service desk and risk teams to ensure security is embedded into network architecture, operational processes and technology changes.
Responsibilities will include configuring and managing firewalls, VPNs, intrusion prevention systems, secure web gateways, network access controls and related security technologies. You will investigate alerts, analyse network traffic and logs, identify vulnerabilities and support timely remediation of security issues. The role will also involve contributing to incident response, threat investigations, penetration testing, security audits and disaster recovery exercises. You will develop and maintain technical documentation, security standards and operating procedures, while supporting network segmentation, zero-trust initiatives and secure connectivity across on-premises and cloud environments. Participation in project reviews and change management activities will be required to ensure proposed solutions meet relevant security and performance requirements.
Applicants should have proven experience in network security engineering, with strong knowledge of TCP/IP, DNS, routing, switching, firewalls, encryption, authentication and common attack techniques. Experience with security information and event management platforms, vulnerability assessment tools, endpoint or cloud security controls and network monitoring solutions is highly desirable. Professional certifications such as CISSP, CISM, CCNP Security, PCNSE or equivalent are welcomed. You should be analytical, methodical and confident communicating technical risks to both technical and non-technical audiences. The ability to prioritise effectively, work independently and collaboratively, and remain calm during security incidents is essential. A commitment to continuous learning and keeping pace with evolving threats, technologies and regulatory expectations will be important in this role.
