Hybrid: home and office/customer site based.  We have offices in Bath, Bristol, Fareham, London, Plymouth and Weymouth. We will consider Full and Part Time applications.

About you

You will be a senior technologist with a sound understanding of state-of-the-art cyber security (protective and detective) solutions.  This will include understanding data, analytics and technologies associated with detecting cyber attacks.

 

Essential skills:

• Can provide security-related design advice to projects
• Can review and assess cyber solution capabilities within an organisation, provide tactical and strategical recommendations, produce option analysis and roadmaps;
• Excellent knowledge of at least two of the following:
  • Security Information and Event Management (SIEM)

• Have an interest in cyber related Research & Development (R&D)
• Minimum of five years’ experience in the cyber field
• Good verbal and written communication skills.

The following are desirable skills, but a lack of these is not a barrier to getting the role.  BMT provides excellent training and support to enable our people to learn and grow.

• Hold at least one UK or internationally recognised cyber security certification (for example ISC2 CISSP, ISACA CISM, Principal or Chartered level of the UK Security Council chartership scheme in Security Architecture)
• Knowledge of both NCSC and internationally recognised cyber standards (for example NIST, CISA, MITRE)

• Awareness of Agile methodologies and techniques
• Previous experience in R&D, transformation or SOCs 

As much of our work is directly customer focused, your ability to present and articulate technically complex work clearly to stakeholders with differing levels of technical knowledge is important, both verbally and in written work.

 

Please note that this role will be subject to security checks.  You will need to be a UK national (dual nationalities acceptable) and you will need to obtain a UK SC Clearance during your probation period, if not already held.
