Job description

Social network you want to login/join with:

Are you someone who’s passionate about cybersecurity and protecting businesses from growing digital threats?

Are you looking for a role where you can genuinely make a difference and continue to build your career in a supportive, forward-thinking environment?

We’re working with a fast-growing software and services company in the energy sector who are expanding their Security team. They’re looking for an Information Security Analyst who can help keep their systems, customers, and data safe — someone who’s as comfortable investigating incidents as they are improving the day-to-day security operations.

In this role, you’ll be right at the heart of the company’s security efforts. You’ll monitor internal systems and security tools to spot potential threats early, helping to investigate, manage and learn from incidents when they happen.

You’ll also support wider security projects — from helping assess suppliers and partners, to reviewing internal processes and keeping security policies up-to-date. You’ll work closely with teams across the business, offering advice and support on how to keep systems safe, and play your part in maintaining high standards around risk management and compliance.

This is a hands-on, varied role where no two days are the same — perfect for someone who’s proactive, organised, and enjoys digging into challenges.

We'd like to see:

• 1-2 years experience working in an Information or Cyber Security role
• Good knowledge of cloud and network security
• A background in responding to and managing security incidents
• An understanding of how to maintain strong security controls (e.g., firewalls, antivirus, email filtering)
• Great communication skills and a collaborative approach — you’ll be working with both technical and non-technical teams
• A real eye for detail, and the ability to spot potential risks before they become problems

Professional security certifications (or the ambition to gain them) would be a bonus, but they’re more interested in your approach, attitude, and passion for security than just ticking boxes.

There’s plenty of room for growth here — whether that’s moving into more technical security work, focusing on cloud environments, or gaining recognised certifications to deepen your expertise - with potential development pathways ranging from Pen Testing through to Compliance, it's safe to say the the world is your oyster.

The team get together once a week in the Chorley HQ so being able to commute from the surrounding areas is essential.
