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.

As a Security Operations Centre Officer, every shift will bring new opportunities to use your technology skills, make informed decisions and respond calmly and professionally to sensitive situations. You’ll work with a high level of confidentiality and become a trusted part of the security team, helping to ensure people feel safe, supported and protected.

This isn’t just another job. It’s your opportunity to step into a role where your potential is recognised, your contribution is valued, and your progress is supported. With opportunities to develop your knowledge and undertake continuing professional development, you’ll be encouraged to learn, grow and build your career within security.
