Job description

Cyber Security & IT Infrastructure Lead - Security & Compliance!

• Take ownership of cybersecurity across a growing international organisation
• Drive security strategy, infrastructure resilience and regulatory compliance
• Play a key role in developing and strengthening the security function

An excellent opportunity has arisen for a Cyber Security & IT Infrastructure Engineer to join an expanding international engineering organisation with operations across multiple markets. As the business continues to grow, it is placing increased focus on enhancing its IT infrastructure and cybersecurity capabilities to support its long-term objectives.

This newly created position will see you take responsibility for cybersecurity across the wider group, working closely with the Group IT Manager to enhance security practices, implement policies and ensure regulatory compliance.

Offering a hands-on and varied remit within a collaborative, flat structure, this role provides the autonomy to develop the security function, influence key decisions and implement meaningful improvements. It is an ideal opportunity for an experienced IT infrastructure or security professional looking to take the next step in their career and gain greater ownership and responsibility.

Why This Role Stands Out

• Opportunity to help establish and develop the cybersecurity function from the ground up.
• Take ownership of security across a growing international organisation.
• Lead the development of security policies, compliance, risk management and audits.
• Work closely with the Group IT Manager and oversee the external MSP.
• Enhance incident response, business continuity and disaster recovery processes.
• Enjoy technical ownership and strategic influence without the responsibility of managing a team.

What You Bring

• Minimum 5 years' experience within Cybersecurity, IT security or a similar technical position.
• Strong knowledge of networking, firewalls, VPNs and infrastructure security.
• Experience developing, implementing and maintaining security policies and documentation.
• Understanding of relevant security and regulatory frameworks, including NIS2, or ISO 27001

Package & Benefits

• Salary up to €80,000.
• Employer-matched pension contributions up to 5%.
• Employee healthcare provided following successful completion of a six-month probationary period.
• Company laptop and mobile phone.
• Permanent, full-time position based in Galway.
• Occasional travel throughout Ireland
