About the job
Location: UK (with client travel)
Employment type: Permanent
Career level: Consultant
Salary: £50k–£65k (dependent on experience)
A leading data engineering consultancy is looking for a Security Architect to help protect some of the UK’s most complex programmes across health, public sector, defence, and central government.
Due to client and UK Government security requirements, this role requires eligibility for BPSS and SC security clearance at the point of application. This typically requires UK citizenship (as specified by the end-client’s security policy) and at least 5 years’ continuous UK address history, usually without any single period of 30+ consecutive days spent outside the UK. Existing UK Government clearance (e.g. SC, DV) is highly desirable, but we will consider candidates who can obtain it.
