Grade: Site Based
As a Security Operations Centre Officer at Securitas, you’ll do more than protect what’s important—you’ll help keep people, property and information safe across local and international locations. Working as part of the European Security Operations Centre for a prestigious pharmaceutical company, you’ll play an essential role within the Global Security Department, supporting a safe, secure and resilient environment.
Your role will be SOC-led, with a primary focus on monitoring security systems, assessing and responding to incidents, maintaining accurate incident and compliance records, and supporting business-continuity activities. You’ll also take on physical-security responsibilities at the designated site, including patrols, emergency support and providing a professional, customer-focused service to stakeholders.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
