What’s it like to be a Security Operator?

Every day is different at Travis Perkins, but here’s what you can expect:

  • Alert Triage and Analysis: Analyze security alerts to determine their validity, severity, and potential impact, following established triage procedures.
  • Incident Response: Participate in the initial stages of incident response by following documented playbooks and procedures to contain, eradicate, and recover from security incidents.
  • Escalation: Escalate complex or high-severity security events and incidents to Field Management or other relevant teams in a timely and informative manner.
  • Documentation: Accurately document all security events, incidents, and actions taken in accordance with established procedures.
  • Communication: Effectively communicate security events and incidents to relevant stakeholders, providing clear and concise updates using AUROR.
  • Knowledge Management: Contribute to the development and maintenance of SOC documentation, including playbooks, knowledge base articles, and standard operating procedures (SOPs).
  • Shift Work: Work in a 24/7/365 shift environment, including days, nights, weekends, and holidays, as required.
  • Continuous Improvement: Stay up-to-date with the latest security threats, trends, and technologies, and contribute to the continuous improvement of SOC processes and tools.
  • Collaboration: Work collaboratively with other security team members and IT personnel to ensure a cohesive and effective security posture.
  • Compliance: Adhere to all relevant security policies, standards, and regulatory requirements.

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.
