If you’re the person people call when an SD-WAN rollout actually needs to work — not just look good on a slide — keep reading.
Our client is a market-leading communications and technology transformation partner, trusted by thousands of organisations to modernise how they connect, communicate, and operate. They don’t sell theory. They design and deploy real-world, enterprise-grade solutions at scale — across CCaaS, networking, cyber security, and unified communications.
Growth has been strong. Complexity is increasing. And they need a senior Fortinet SD-WAN engineer who can lead from the front.
This is not a “follow the runbook” role. This is ownership, architecture, and execution.
What You’ll Be Trusted With:
You’ll take the lead on designing and delivering Fortinet SD-WAN solutions across enterprise and service-provider environments — end to end.
* Owning SD-WAN architecture, design, and deployment from HLD to LLD
* Leading migrations from legacy WANs to modern, secure SD-WAN environments
* Configuring and optimising FortiGate, FortiManager, and FortiAnalyzer
* Acting as the technical authority in front of customers and stakeholders
* Mentoring engineers and raising the technical bar across the team
* Troubleshooting complex, high-impact networking issues when it matters most
* Ensuring every deployment meets security, resilience, and best-practice standards
You’ll be given autonomy, trust, and access to serious projects — not micromanagement.
What You Bring:
* 5+ years in network engineering
* 3+ years delivering Fortinet SD-WAN in production environments
* Deep hands-on experience with FortiGate, FortiManager, FortiAnalyzer
* Strong grounding in BGP, OSPF, MPLS, IPSec, QoS
* Confidence leading large-scale deployments and migrations
* The ability to communicate clearly with both engineers and non-engineers
Nice to have (not blockers):
* Experience in MSP or complex multi-client environments
