Information Security Engineer

Overview

We’ve partnered with a global engineering manufacturer seeking an Information Security Engineer to blend light alert response with delivering security projects and rollouts across a 10k-user enterprise. In a small, lean team (no tiered SOC), you’ll work directly with engineers and business stakeholders to harden controls, ship pragmatic improvements, and support upcoming programmes like DLP and third-party risk.

• Take ownership of day-to-day security operations, responding to alerts, assessing risk, and following issues through to closure with clear communication.
• Deliver practical security improvements: from M365 hardening and server patching to firewall or network refresh projects.
• Lead and support structured rollouts across Azure, Entra , and Windows Server environments.
• Collaborate with Infrastructure and third-party suppliers on tooling such as EDR, web filtering, and email security.
• Drive remediation and coordinate change through CAB/RFC processes.
• Keep documentation current, playbooks, policies, and project summaries that help the wider team.
• Support awareness initiatives and help the business pragmatically adopt security best practices.

• Around 2-4 years’ experience in IT, with at least 12-18 months in a security or infrastructure role.
• A broad technical base across Azure / M365 / Entra, Active Directory, Windows Server, and networking fundamentals.
• Practical experience with EDR and web/email security tools (Crowd Strike, Defender for Endpoint, Zscaler, Mimecast, or similar).
• Evidence of delivering change, e.g., project rollouts, migrations, or improvements you’ve owned end-to-end.
• Confident communicator who can explain technical issues clearly to different audiences.
