IT Security Engineer

As an IT Security Engineer, you are a hands-on subject matter expert who helps Eneco translate security policies, standards, and regulations into practical and effective security measures.

You work closely with IT colleagues, project teams, and external suppliers to ensure security is embedded by design. At the same time, you play an important role in strengthening Eneco’s security culture, addressing the human side of cyber security through awareness and collaboration.

With increasing regulatory demands such as NIS2, this role is essential in ensuring Eneco remains resilient, compliant, and prepared for future threats.

You are a pragmatic security professional who enjoys being close to the technology and the people using it. You like turning rules and frameworks into practical solutions, and you feel comfortable advising colleagues on how to work securely.

You take ownership, communicate clearly, and understand that good security is as much about behaviour and culture as it is about tools and controls.
