Cyber Security Consultant - Aviation

Join our highly successful team within the Egis Aviation Service Line serving clients globally both in aviation and other related transport domains.

Egis is a leading global consulting, construction engineering and operating firm. We work hand-in-hand with our clients, across every aspect of transport, energy and the built environment to build a more balanced, sustainable and resilient world. The Egis Group has more than 50 years of experience and a team of 19,500 employees in over 120 countries around the world. Joining our Group means, above all, sharing our values as a people-first company, strongly committed to sustainability and innovation.      

Aviation is complex and challenging, globally networked, highly regulated and safety-critical – yet also subject to market forces and ‘shocks’ – it’s hardly surprising that few firms can claim to truly understand the aviation industry. We do. With over 4,000 successful projects delivered in 100+ countries, our experts have provided trusted consultancy and design and engineering solutions to major airports, ANSPs, industry and governments; improving efficiency and safety of operations, conducting policy and strategy, through almost every significant change in the industry.

We are now seeking a Cyber Security Consultant to join our team to help us meet our growing order book. The role has the possibility to be based in Farnborough (UK), Zilina (Slovakia), Prague (Czech Republic) or Singapore.

We currently have some exciting projects which will provide you with an opportunity to learn about the different cybersecurity areas including cybersecurity strategy management, risk assessment techniques, security by design, and many others.

Depending on the candidate we are open to different levels of experience from a new graduate, to someone looking to change their career, to existing cyber security consultants looking for a new challenge.

The consultancy environment can be very fast-paced with opportunities emerging at very short notice that will require a flexible, agile approach to delivering excellence in consultancy services and meeting or exceeding client requirements. If this sounds like a challenge that appeals to you, we would love to speak with you to understand how you can fit into our team.

We have a flat collegiate structure and work in small project teams where our philosophy is to encourage you to manage your own career and time. You’ll have far more autonomy than our competitors offer and, in return, we ask that you deliver high quality work and ensure that our clients continue to come back to us (currently 80% of our work is repeat business!)
