We're working with a specialist cyber security consultancy that delivers technical security work across critical national infrastructure and other high-consequence environments.

They're looking for a Technical Cyber Security Consultant who combines broad security knowledge with genuine hands-on technical capability. This isn't a purely advisory or assessment-focused position. You'll identify security weaknesses, help clients understand the risk, and then get involved in implementing the solution.

The role

• Designing, deploying and configuring security controls including firewalls, EDR, SIEM, IAM and cloud security tooling
• Supporting penetration testing, vulnerability assessments and technical security reviews
• Turning assessment findings into practical remediation plans and helping clients implement them
• Hardening Windows, Linux, network and cloud environments
• Building scripts, automation and internal security tooling
• Working with standards and guidance such as CIS Benchmarks, NCSC and ISO 27001
• Communicating technical risks and recommendations to both technical teams and senior stakeholders

What we're looking for

• 2+ years' experience within cyber security, security engineering, infrastructure or a similar technical environment
• Broad knowledge of networking, including TCP/IP, routing, firewalls and VPNs
• Experience across Windows/Linux administration and Active Directory/identity
• Experience with at least one major cloud platform: Azure, AWS or GCP
• Hands-on experience implementing and configuring security solutions, rather than solely assessing them
• Scripting experience with Python, PowerShell or Bash
