Position Summary
Senior engineer who both leads the service and performs hands-on remediation on the most complex and security-critical systems. Owns KPI/SLA governance, prioritisation and risk sign-off, CAB representation, quality assurance, and mentoring of Engineers 1 and 2 — while personally fixing and patching network and security infrastructure (firewalls, NAC, IPS/IDS) and leading complex server, virtualization, and cloud remediation. Acts as the technical escalation point for both the onsite and offsite engineers and safeguards the integrity of the Customer-aligned KPIs.

- Personally fix and patch security and network infrastructure — next-gen firewalls, NAC, IPS/IDS, routers/switches — and lead complex server, virtualization, and cloud remediation.
- Represent the service at the client's Change Advisory Board; enforce change governance, rollback rigour, and audit-ready evidence.
- Run aging and exception governance — surface stale findings weekly; document owner-side delays and risk acceptances per the SLA/service-credit model.
- Lead root-cause analysis of recurring vulnerabilities and drive continuous-improvement actions.
- Direct the daily work allocation between the onsite and offsite engineers and act as their technical escalation point.
- Quality-assure change records, re-scan evidence, and the weekly/monthly reporting pack before client submission.
- Mentor and develop the two engineers; maintain runbooks and cross-training so onsite and offsite coverage is interchangeable.

- Familiar with Qualys to run scans and obtain vulnerability details and reports.
- Strong networking (routing/switching, segmentation), Windows/Linux, virtualization, and cloud (Azure) awareness.
- Solid grasp of vulnerability management, threat/exploitability context, CVSS, and remediation strategy.
- ITIL change management and CAB processes; SLA/KPI governance and reporting to enterprise/government stakeholders.
- Experience leading a small delivery team across mixed onsite and remote coverage models.
