Role & What’s in it for the applicant and why would they apply?:
This is a chance to join a large, mission-critical transport and logistics organisation where the network genuinely matters. The infrastructure supports nationwide operations and is treated as a strategic asset, not an afterthought.
The business is investing heavily in SD-WAN and core network modernisation, and these roles sit right at the heart of that journey. You’ll be trusted to design, improve, and support a complex enterprise network, working with modern WAN technologies and solid Cisco foundations.
This is not a reactive support role. You’ll have influence, technical ownership, and the backing of a stable organisation that values long-term thinking, engineering quality, and work–life balance. Add in a final salary pension and flexible hybrid working, and this is a rare combination of technical depth and stability.
Responsibilities:
• Design, support, and enhance large-scale enterprise network infrastructure.
• Lead and support SD-WAN environments across WAN and branch connectivity.
• Act as a senior escalation point for complex routing, switching, and WAN issues.
• Support and improve Cisco-based routing and switching estates.
• Deliver network upgrades, migrations, and improvement projects.
• Work closely with internal IT and business stakeholders to ensure performance and resilience.
• Produce and maintain high-quality documentation and network designs.
• Contribute to both BAU operations and project-led work.
Skills / Must Have:
• Strong enterprise networking background with Cisco routing and switching.
• Proven experience with SD-WAN using one or more vendors, including:
– Fortinet SD-WAN
– HPE Aruba SilverPeak
– Cisco Viptela
– Versa Networks
– Cato Networks
– Palo Alto Prisma SD-WAN
– VMware Velocloud
• Confident troubleshooting WAN, LAN, and routing issues in complex environments.
• Experience operating in large, business-critical networks.
• Clear communicator with a pragmatic, senior engineering mindset.
Nice to Have:
• Fortinet SD-WAN experience.
• Exposure to F5 load balancing.
• Experience in regulated, transport, or critical national infrastructure environments.
Benefits:
• Final salary pension scheme (rare and valuable).
• Private medical cover.
• Extensive benefits package.
• Hybrid working with 1–3 days per week onsite.
• Long-term stability with a well-established organisation.
• Opportunity to work on infrastructure that supports real-world, nationwide operations.
Salary:
• £70,000 per annum (Senior Network Engineer x3)
Location:
London Bridge
Hybrid working – 1 to 3 days per week onsite.
