This is a contract Role & Inside IR35
Network Engineer
Contract Duration: 6 months contract
Location: London, United Kingdom (Hybrid - 2 days onsite per week)
About the role:
Ideal candidate will handle a mix of design and implementation tasks for multiple office moves and branch network refreshes, including logical and in some cases physical site setup, automation via scripting and pushing configurations from DNA/ catalyst center, device configuration, and user acceptance test execution, with flexibility to work on both physical and non-physical aspects of campus builds.
CNP – CCIE with proven experience on enterprise LAN and WAN design and implementation.
Responsibilities:
* Strong experience in campus Cisco network technologies, Wi-Fi, campus security, and ideally some knowledge of Fortinet firewalls, though internal support for Fortinet is available; familiarity with Cisco Catalyst Centre, automation pipelines, and a willingness to perform a range of tasks from racking equipment to liaising with end users is essential.
* Involved in network design, implementation standards, automation, testing procedures, and the use of third-party and internal resources for specialized tasks.
* Network Design and Implementation: High-level designs for new sites are in place, with templates under development; engineers will focus on implementation, requirements gathering, and delivery, with most sites being straightforward (e.g., two switches, a few access points), and more complex fabrics planned for future larger sites.
* WAN and Firewall Configuration: Most sites use internet connectivity with VPNs to data centres and local internet breakout; Fortinet firewalls are standard, and while Fortinet skills are advantageous, internal experts will handle advanced configuration, with the expectation that engineers can perform basic troubleshooting and testing.
* Testing and Quality Assurance: Testing standards and runbooks are being developed by another internal team, though support for execution of the defined testing with a focus on synthetic and real-user transaction testing, failover scenarios, and ensuring robust handover to end users will be expected to avoid past issues with insufficient site testing.
* Wi-Fi Survey and Deployment: For large sites, third parties conduct active Wi-Fi surveys; for smaller sites, the same vendors are used, with potential for in-house surveys in the future; engineers are expected to handle physical installation, controller configuration, and performance validation, but not survey/ placement of WAP designs.
All candidates will need to go through a background check.
Must be eligible to live and work in the UK. Only successful candidates will be contacted.
