- Work with Systems Engineering teams on security product evaluations, penetration testing feedback, and secure infrastructure rollouts.

- Capture technical requirements for internal and external secure software or network development projects.

- Manage in-house security-related projects while balancing priorities during high-demand or critical incident periods.

Technical Documentation & Compliance:

- Translate complex security features and vulnerability assessments into clear, technical compliance reports and remediation guides.

- Keep technical teams and wider business functions updated on current threat landscapes, security capabilities, and system updates.

- Ensure network infrastructure aligns with maritime security frameworks, UK government policies, and defence-level operational standards.

- Produce internal technical documentation, secure configuration guides, FAQs, and incident response process layouts.

Support & Internal Training:

- Provide tier-3 technical security support in high-level engineering meetings, troubleshooting calls, and customer architecture reviews.

- Deliver internal security awareness training and technical handovers for network engineers, support staff, and back-office teams.

- Coordinate Technical Security Bulletin distribution alongside local management to address emergent CVEs or critical software patches.

- Carry out regular security audits and product vulnerability comparisons.

Package & Benefits:

- Salary: Competitive compensation depending on experience.

- Tools: Company laptop and mobile phone provided.
