Job Description:

Applicants must be primarily home-based but will be required to visit customer sites and our offices around 6-8 times a month.

SSS Public safety is a subsidiary of NEC Software solutions and is a market-leading developer and supplier of mission-critical solutions to blue light emergency services around the world, ultimately helping them to protect and save lives. Additionally, our customer portfolio extends to many significant non-blue light, Government and non-government service providers, including British Transport Police (BTP), Highways England (HE), Civil Nuclear Police (CNC), Ministry of Defence Police (MDP), and UK Coastguard (HMCG).

As a Technical Consultant, you will be responsible for:

• Maintaining the network security for internal engineering solutions, such as customer remote access and access to applications.
• Assisting with the resolution of security-related incidents.
• Researching and applying security best practices.
• Applying IT Health check remediation fixes.
• Supporting the wider Network engineering team in solution delivery and continuous improvement.

*Due to strict security clearance requirements, regrettably we can only consider applicants that have lived in the UK for 5 consecutive years or more.*

Job activity & responsibilities:

• Use our dedicated incident management system and liaise with other team members and Service Desk to ensure that all security-related incidents are dealt with within contracted SLA timescales.
• Responsible for ensuring the proactive monitoring and maintenance of SSS Engineering solutions, installing patches, upgrades, etc., ensuring a high level of resilience.
• Configure and install various infrastructure security patches on devices (e.g., firewalls, servers, installed applications).
• Ensuring that all change/project work is delivered on time.
• Select and implement security tools, policies, and procedures in conjunction with the company’s security team.
• When required, create, review and update network & security documentation, for example work plans, work instructions, and technical guides.
• The role holder will be required to work professionally in liaison with several internal teams to coordinate various activities and gather/provide information required to complete the tasks at hand.
• The role can involve extensive customer contact on both a technical and non-technical level requiring a professional and adaptable approach to communication and interaction/service.
• The role will require working both in a team and, potentially autonomously where projects dictate a limited engineering requirement. An increasing level of autonomy is typically achieved after some time in post and suitable experience has been gained.
• The role holder will be provided a car allowance.
• The role involves customer site working as demand requires, therefore you will be expected to work from a variety of locations and travel should be expected, including overnight stays.
• Continually follow and adhere to SSS Public Safety outlined processes & procedures.
• Present a professional approach and attitude to all work undertaken.
• Promote a clean working environment. Adhere to all Health and Safety practices, rules, and regulations.
• Support the wider network team in completing customer delivery activities as required.
