Security & Network Engineer - 12 months Fixed term

Company: Techtronic Industries EMEA Ltd Role: Security & Network Engineer - 12 months Fixed term Techtronic Industries (TTI) is a world leader in cordless technology, spanning power tools, accessories, hand tools, outdoor power equipment, and floorcare & cleaning products. We focus on end-users ranging from professionals in industrial, construction, and infrastructure sectors to DIYers in home improvement, repair, and maintenance. Our powerful brand portfolio includes MILWAUKEE®, RYOBI®, and AEG® — recognized worldwide for deep heritage and superior quality. With record global sales of approximately US$15.2 billion and around 50,000 employees in 2026, hiring exceptional people is a top focus. Our high-speed decision-making culture drives performance and helps achieve our vision of being number one in the industries we serve. We're seeking a **Security & Network Engineer** who can architect and operationalise a secure, compliant, and agile network and infrastructure backbone. You'll own the design and governance of our network, security policies, and infrastructure architecture across hybrid cloud and on-premises environments. More than a technician, you're a strategist: someone who shapes policy, educates stakeholders, and mentors teams to embed security thinking into every decision—without strangling velocity. Reporting to the Head of Infrastructure, this role works closely with security, cloud, systems, and application teams to build the governance and architectural foundations for a growing, security-first organisation. ### Network Architecture & Design - Lead design and delivery of secure, resilient network infrastructure across on-premises data centres and hybrid cloud environments. - Architect network segmentation, Zero Trust access models, and VPC/VLAN designs that enforce security policy without over-complicating operations. - Define network resilience, failover, and disaster recovery strategies aligned with business continuity requirements. ### Security Policy & Governance - Develop and maintain network security policies, baseline configurations, and compliance frameworks (ISO 27001, SOC 2, regulatory if applicable). - Build and socialise governance frameworks: RACI matrices for infrastructure decisions, policy approval workflows, change controls. - Create runbooks, decision trees, and architectural standards that allow teams to move fast while staying secure. ### Infrastructure Security Implementation - Implement and manage firewalls, intrusion detection/prevention, DDoS mitigation, and threat monitoring across network layers. - Establish secure supply chain practices for infrastructure: vendor management, procurement policy, and third-party risk assessment. - Lead security hardening programmes for network appliances, access points, and edge infrastructure; manage patching and lifecycle. ### Cloud & Hybrid Infrastructure Security - Own network security posture in AWS/Azure/GCP: VPC architecture, network ACLs, security groups, private connectivity (Direct Connect/ExpressRoute). - Establish cloud governance controls: tagging strategies, resource quotas, cross-account networking, hybrid connectivity. - Build and maintain secrets management, certificate lifecycle, and identity federation across cloud and on-premises. ### Mentorship & Culture - Coach and mentor infrastructure/network engineers to understand security implications of their designs. - Build a 'secure by default' culture: run knowledge-sharing sessions, design reviews, and brownbags on emerging threats and best practices. - Work with AppSec and DevSecOps to embed security checkpoints into infrastructure CI/CD pipelines. ### Operational Delivery & Strategic Projects - Lead network delivery for strategic initiatives (e.g., data centre migrations, office relocations, cloud landing zones). - Manage incident response for critical infrastructure events; lead post-mortems and remediation. - Collaborate with infrastructure teams to build monitoring, alerting, and observability stacks that surface security signals. ## Required Experience & Skills - Over **5 years** of experience in network engineering, infrastructure architecture, or systems engineering roles. - Proven hands-on with enterprise network security: firewall architecture (Palo Alto, Fortinet, Cisco ASA), network segmentation, threat detection, compliance. - Strong understanding of DevSecOps principles and how to embed security into CI/CD and infrastructure-as-code workflows. - Proven experience designing and implementing Zero Trust, least-privilege access, or network segmentation architectures. - Deep knowledge of cloud networking (AWS VPC, Azure VNets, or GCP) and hybrid connectivity models. - Demonstrated ability to design and communicate governance frameworks, RACI models, and policy architecture to both technical and non-technical stakeholders. - Experience with infrastructure-as-code tools (Terraform, CloudFormation, ARM) and configuration management (Ansible, etc.). - Proficiency with network monitoring and observability tools (e.g., Splunk, Datadog, New Relic, Elasticsearch, Prometheus, RSA NetWitness, Tenable). - Strong incident response and troubleshooting background; comfort operating in high-pressure environments. - Experience mentoring junior/mid-level engineers and building security culture within technical teams. ### Desirable Experience - CISSP, CEH, OSCP, AWS Solutions Architect Professional, or similar security certification (or equivalent practical expertise). - Experience with regulatory frameworks (ISO 27001, SOC 2, GDPR, NIS Regulations, or industry-specific compliance). - Background in manufacturing, retail, or distributed operations environments (warehouse infrastructure, multi-site logistics). - Exposure to identity and access management (IAM) architecture: SSO, MFA, RBAC, ABAC. - Hands-on experience with container networking (Kubernetes CNI, Docker networking) and service mesh (Istio, Linkerd). - Experience building or scaling infrastructure teams; familiarity with offshore or distributed team models. - Practical experience with Cisco, Juniper, Meraki, or enterprise wireless infrastructure (WLC, Aerohive, Meraki). This role is a **12-month fixed term** position, based in Maidenhead, UK, with a hybrid working arrangement. At TTI, we are committed to being an equal opportunity employer. We believe in creating a supportive environment where everyone can thrive and grow. If you're looking to join a forward-thinking company that values collaboration, innovation, and impact — we'd love to hear from you. --- _This job was found on [bandana.com](https://www.bandana.com/?utm_source=jd_attribution&utm_medium=repost)_
