Network Security Consultant
We are seeking an experienced Network Security Consultant to help protect complex IT environments and support the design, implementation and continuous improvement of secure network infrastructure. This role will suit a security professional who can combine strong technical expertise with excellent communication and consulting skills.
You will assess network architectures, identify vulnerabilities and recommend practical improvements aligned with business and security objectives. Responsibilities will include designing and reviewing secure network solutions, configuring and monitoring firewalls, intrusion prevention systems, secure remote access, segmentation and related security controls. You will also support security assessments, risk reviews, incident investigations and remediation activity, ensuring that identified issues are documented and addressed effectively.
The successful candidate will work closely with infrastructure, cloud, applications and governance teams, translating technical risks into clear, actionable advice for both technical and non-technical stakeholders. You will contribute to security standards, policies, technical documentation and project assurance, as well as keeping current with emerging threats, regulatory expectations and industry best practice. Occasional participation in out-of-hours support or incident response may be required.
Applicants should have proven experience in network security consulting or a closely related role, with a strong understanding of TCP/IP, routing, switching, network protocols, firewalls, VPNs, identity controls and security monitoring. Experience with cloud networking, zero-trust principles, vulnerability management and security information and event management platforms would be advantageous. Relevant professional certifications, such as CCNP Security, CISSP, CISM or equivalent, are desirable.
You will need strong analytical and problem-solving abilities, a methodical approach to risk management and the confidence to challenge constructively. Excellent written and verbal communication skills are essential, along with the ability to manage competing priorities and deliver high-quality work to agreed timescales. This is an opportunity to contribute to meaningful security improvements while working across a varied and technically challenging environment.
