We’re Hiring: SOC Operators
Can you stay calm when someone on the phone isn't? If you're used to dealing with people when they're distressed, frustrated or need immediate help, we'd particularly like to hear from you.

We're looking for people who can listen, think quickly and take the right action when a situation changes. As a SOC Operator, you'll respond to incoming calls and alarms, assess and prioritise incidents and make sure the appropriate action is taken.

As a SOC Operator, you'll need to remain calm, gather accurate information, communicate clearly and follow the correct process while helping the person on the other end of the phone. It’s more than just a job and offers variety, responsibility, and the opportunity to make a genuine difference every day.
