Why choose Eneco?

One Planet Plan: Eneco is accelerating the energy transition with the ambition to be climate neutral by 2035. Digital and technology are key enablers of this mission, and cyber security is essential in protecting Eneco’s systems, partners, and people.

At Eneco, you contribute to meaningful impact while working in an organisation that values responsibility, collaboration, and technical excellence.

What you’ll do

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.

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

Is this about you?

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.
