About The Role

As a Cyber Security Engineer, you will play an integral part in the safeguarding of Ecotricity's digital assets, data and IT infrastructure from potential cyber threats.

We are looking for someone who is proactive beyond simply configuring security tools and use their experience and initiative to help drive the cyber initiative throughout the business using a range of security tools.

This allows the company to utilise our people in the best possible way at all times and helps our colleagues to make the best contribution in a changing environment.
