* Attractive compensation.
* Flexible benefits so you can build a package that fits your personal needs. Some core benefits are: Employer pension contribution (not subject to individual contribution), Income protection, Private Health Insurance and Life Assurance.
* 26 days vacation + bank holidays.

This role involves work for customers who manage critical infrastructure, based on customer requirements it will be necessary to carry out background checks and suitability assessments (UK BPSS clearance OR UK Security Check (SC)) as part of the hiring process.
