Senior Security Engineer - Contract
We are seeking a Senior Security Engineer for a contract opportunity supporting the design, implementation and continuous improvement of secure technology environments. This role will suit an experienced security professional who can operate confidently across infrastructure, cloud, applications and enterprise networks, while providing practical guidance to technical and business stakeholders. You will help identify risks, strengthen security controls and contribute to the organisation’s wider information security objectives.
Key responsibilities will include monitoring and investigating security events, responding to incidents and supporting vulnerability management activities. You will assess systems and proposed changes against security standards, recommend appropriate remediation, and assist with the development and maintenance of security policies, procedures and technical documentation. The role will also involve collaborating with infrastructure, engineering, architecture and delivery teams to embed security throughout the technology lifecycle. You may be required to support security assessments, penetration testing, audit preparation, risk reviews and the implementation of solutions such as identity and access management, endpoint protection, network security and cloud security controls.
Applicants should have substantial experience in a security engineering or similarly hands-on cybersecurity role, with strong knowledge of security principles, threat detection, incident response and vulnerability management. Experience working with cloud platforms, security monitoring tools, SIEM technologies, firewalls, endpoint security and identity services is highly desirable. Familiarity with recognised frameworks and standards, such as ISO 27001, NIST or CIS Controls, would be beneficial. Relevant professional certifications are welcomed, along with strong analytical, communication and problem-solving skills. You should be comfortable working independently in a contract environment, managing competing priorities and translating complex technical risks into clear, actionable recommendations.
