Security IT Support Engineer

Responsibilities

• IT support: Be the first line of support for the organisation. Resolve issues, hit SLAs, and keep things moving.
• Endpoint management: Own the full lifecycle of our devices — laptops, desktops, mobiles, and virtual desktops. Deployment, configuration, troubleshooting, all of it.
• Patch management: Keep endpoints, workstations, cloud servers, and VDI environments up to date. Track what needs patching, get it done, and report on it.
• Vulnerability management: Run regular vulnerability scans across our environment. Understand what the results mean, prioritise by risk, and drive remediation to closure.
• Access & identity: Manage user accounts and access rights.
• Enforce least privilege. Make provisioning and deprovisioning slick and secure.
• Threat prevention: Help implement and monitor our security controls — endpoint protection, DLP, email security, network controls. Keep an eye on what's happening.
• Asset management: Know what we have, where it is, and who has it.
• Keep the inventory accurate.
• Onboarding & offboarding: Set people up properly when they join and make sure access is cleanly revoked when they leave.
• AI enablement & security: Work with teams to help them adopt AI tools safely. Spot risks like prompt injection, data leakage, or insecure integrations. Help us keep track of what AI tools are in use and make sure we have the right guardrails in place.
