Industry

Transportation

At Jacobs, we're challenging today to reinvent tomorrow by solving the world's most critical problems for thriving cities, resilient environments, mission-critical outcomes, operational advancement, scientific discovery and cutting-edge manufacturing, turning abstract ideas into realities that transform the world for good.

Your impact

Cyber threats are constantly evolving, making effective security operations critical to organisations across every sector. As a SOC Analyst, you'll help protect Jacobs clients by identifying, investigating, and responding to security threats before they can impact systems, users, or data.

Working as part of an experienced, collaborative Cyber Security team, you'll gain exposure to modern security technologies and play an important role in helping to strengthen cyber resilience across a diverse range of environments.

What You'll Do

As part of our Security Operations Centre (SOC) team, you'll monitor and investigate security alerts, support incident response activities, and help identify emerging threats across internal and client environments.

Using technologies such as Microsoft Sentinel and Defender XDR, you'll analyse security events, investigate suspicious activity, support threat hunting exercises, and work closely with experienced colleagues to improve security monitoring and response capabilities.

This is a fantastic opportunity to develop your technical expertise while gaining hands-on experience across a broad cyber security landscape.

Here's what you'll need

We're looking for someone with a passion for cyber security and some practical exposure to SOC activities.
You may have gained this experience through an apprenticeship, graduate programme, placement year, internship, or an early-career cyber security role. Most importantly, you'll have experience of working with a SIEM platform and an understanding of how security alerts are monitored, investigated, and prioritised.

You'll also bring:

Knowledge of cyber security threats and attack techniques
Understanding of identity and access management concepts such as MFA and RBAC
Good understanding of wider IT infrastructure and connectivity
Strong analytical and problem-solving skills
Eligibility to obtain UKSV SC security clearance

Experience with Microsoft Sentinel or Defender XDR would be advantageous but is not essential.

Other key info

This is a full time, permanent role, UK based, hybrid (2-3 days/week) aligned to a Jacobs office, with occasional business travel to support client and business requirements.
Full time employment at Jacobs is based on a 40-hour working week. We place a strong emphasis on work life balance and flexibility, and flexi-time is available.
Eligibility for UKSV Security Check (SC) level clearance is required, if not already held. More info re: vetting, here

We offer an excellent and wide range of employee benefits including comprehensive Health Cover, Life Assurance, Income Protection, holiday buy/sell scheme, and a variety of wellbeing, family, parental and fertility support offerings, along with an enhanced contribution pension scheme.

At Jacobs, we deliver solutions that matter.

You'll be supported by experienced cyber security professionals, encouraged to develop your technical skills, and given opportunities to build a rewarding career within a collaborative and inclusive environment.
If you're ready to take the next step in cyber security and help protect organisations from evolving threats, we'd love to hear from you.
