A leading independent information security consultancy and IT security managed service provider, based in Bradford, has an immediate requirement for an IT Security & Networking Analyst / Engineer to join them at their offices in Bradford. £18,000 to £30,000

This role is initially based at their head office in Bradford, however there is scope for you to move into a wider role involving client site work and consultancy.

The main technologies they support are Linux based, using their own in-house developed systems (all open source). In addition, they support a range of vendor products, including Cisco, Checkpoint, Nokia and Microsoft.

As IT Security & Networking Analyst / Engineer, you will have a good understanding of TCP/IP and Linux administration, combined with a thirst for new knowledge. You will enjoy the challenge of supporting managed security clients and helping to troubleshoot their problems. You will have the appropriate communication skills to help clients.

That’s the marketing speak, so to cut to the chase – here is your typical day: you will arrive early, drink (good) coffee, answer the phone, solve the hardest problems you’ve ever met, work out why TCP is flawed, get frustrated with vendor products, grab lunch, know Linux is your friend, get lots of help from your team mates, give lots of help to your team mates, show the clients the right way to do it, stop crackers and fraudsters, share your great ideas, leave tired but eager for tomorrow.

Our employee benefits package includes company pension scheme, share options, profit share and private healthcare.

A letter of application, stating why you feel this is the right role for you is essential.

Salary: £18,000 to £30,000 p.a. depending on skills and experience.
