You'll need to have worked on/lead some Network Security projects to be successful in this role. We're after someone confident, experienced, and ready to step straight into a hands‑on delivery role.

The role You’ll be delivering key network projects including firewall migrations (FortiGate‑heavy), SD‑WAN rollouts, and hands‑on switching/routing across a hybrid environment. You’ll be the go‑to engineer for complex technical issues and low‑level designs, collaborating with architects and working independently where needed.

We’re after someone senior in both title and attitude – someone who doesn’t need to defer decisions or elevate for basic sign‑off. You’ll need to be the one who takes ownership and gets things done. The setup

Hybrid: Home‑based with travel to data centres in London (twice a month) You must be within a commutable distance to London and have a driving licence Out‑of‑hours work: Around once a week (paid time and a half), mainly for some migration work – dies down early next year, but some out of hours still expected. On‑call rota: 1 in 6 once you’re up to speed

Process

2‑stage interview (remote): 30 mins with the Lead Network Engineer (technical/screening) 1 hour with architects (technical deep dive)

You’ll be reporting directly into a hands‑on and highly capable network lead, joining a team that values ownership, initiative, and delivery. Start date? ASAP.
