As a Cyber Security Technician Apprentice, you'll play an important role in helping protect our people, systems and information.

This role will be based at our Birmingham office with opportunities for hybrid working where appropriate. Occasional travel to other Tilbury Douglas locations may be required as part of your development.

What you’ll be doing

As a Cyber Security Technician Apprentice, you'll gain practical experience across a range of cyber security activities while working towards the Level 3 Cyber Security Technician Apprenticeship Standard.

No two days are the same and with the support of experienced colleagues, you'll:

• Support the monitoring and maintenance of security controls designed to protect company systems and information.
• Assist with identifying, investigating and escalating potential cyber security incidents.
• Help maintain cyber security policies, standards and procedures.
• Support information security audits and compliance reviews.

• Assist with the investigation of suspicious activity and contribute to incident response activities.
• Develop knowledge of security frameworks, legislation, standards and industry best practice.

Why this role?

Cyber security is critical to every modern organisation. This role provides an exciting opportunity to develop technical, analytical and problem-solving skills while helping to protect a leading construction business from evolving cyber threats.

With structured training, mentoring and hands-on experience, you'll build the foundations for a rewarding career in cyber security, information security, risk management or IT security operations.

By the end of your apprenticeship, you’ll have the skills and confidence to progress into a Cyber Security role, with opportunities to develop further within Tilbury Douglas.
