Are we right for you... Do you enjoy working at the intersection of threat detection, incident response, and hands‑on technical problem solving? Are you someone who thrives in a fast‑paced environment – one day analyzing logs and anomalies, the next responding to incidents or strengthening security controls?

If you’re motivated by protecting critical infrastructure and want to further develop your cybersecurity expertise in a dynamic environment, this could be the next step in your career.

What you’ll be doing... Reporting to the Manager, IT Security and Compliance, this role is part of BC Transit’s Security Operations function, supporting the organization’s enterprise cybersecurity program.

Monitor, detect, investigate, and respond to cybersecurity threats across BC Transit’s networks, systems, and applications

Analyse security events and investigate incidents of moderate complexity, working independently and collaboratively

Work with modern security platforms including Microsoft Defender XDR, Microsoft Sentinel, Entra ID, and other enterprise security tools

Support onboarding, configuration, and optimisation of security technologies to improve detection and response capabilities

Identify vulnerabilities, recommend mitigation strategies, and support patching and system hardening efforts

Collaborate with internal IT teams and external partners (including SOC providers) to ensure effective incident response

Contribute to improving processes, detection logic, and overall security operations maturity

Support alignment with cybersecurity frameworks and internal policies (e.g., NIST CSF)

Help improve operational effectiveness by contributing to reduced detection and response times

This intermediate‑level role is suited for professionals who have a solid foundation in cybersecurity and are ready to take on more independent investigation and response responsibilities.

Prefer purely strategic or advisory work without hands‑on responsibilities
