We are partnering with a leading network infrastructure provider undergoing a significant fibre network expansion programme and are seeking an experienced Network Monitoring Engineer to support the successful delivery of this initiative.
This is a hands‑on engineering role where you'll be responsible for designing, implementing, and commissioning monitoring and observability solutions across newly deployed fibre infrastructure and network equipment. Working closely with Network Operations and Core Network teams, you'll ensure full visibility of critical services from day one through modern monitoring technologies, streaming telemetry, and AI‑driven analytics.
Key Responsibilities
Monitoring & Observability
* Design and implement end‑to‑end monitoring solutions across new fibre infrastructure deployments.
* Build and maintain streaming telemetry pipelines to provide real‑time network visibility.
* Configure, optimise, and manage VictoriaMetrics environments, including ingestion, retention, and performance tuning.
* Deploy and support Nagios‑based monitoring solutions, alerting workflows, and service health checks.
* Implement AI‑driven analytics and anomaly detection capabilities to improve fault identification and operational efficiency.
* Develop and maintain Grafana dashboards and visualisation platforms to provide actionable operational insights.
* Commission monitoring solutions across fibre nodes, OLTs, and Layer 1-3 network devices.
* Work collaboratively with Core Network teams to ensure monitoring aligns with evolving network architecture.
* Establish baseline performance metrics and SLA‑driven alerting thresholds.
* Continuously improve monitoring platforms, tooling, and operational processes.
Documentation & Knowledge Transfer
* Produce high‑quality technical documentation and operational procedures.
* Create runbooks, escalation processes, and support documentation.
* Facilitate knowledge transfer to Network Operations and Engineering teams.
* Provide regular project updates and contribute to project reviews and planning activities.
Required Experience & Skills
* Proven experience in a senior Network Monitoring or Network Engineering position within an ISP, managed services, telecommunications, or large‑scale infrastructure environment.
* Strong hands‑on experience with VictoriaMetrics in production environments.
* Solid experience configuring and administering Nagios monitoring platforms.
* Practical experience with streaming telemetry technologies including gNMI, gRPC, Telegraf, and gNMIc.
* Exposure to AI/ML‑driven monitoring, analytics, or anomaly detection solutions.
* Strong understanding of networking fundamentals including TCP/IP, BGP, OSPF, VLANs, and optical networking technologies.
* Ability to work autonomously and deliver against project deadlines and milestones.
* Excellent documentation, communication, and stakeholder management skills.
* Strong attention to detail with a focus on reliability, resilience, and operational excellence.
* Experience supporting FTTH or dark fibre network deployments.
* Scripting and automation experience, ideally using Python.
* Familiarity with Grafana, Prometheus, or similar observability platforms.
* Knowledge of SNMP, NetFlow/IPFIX, and syslog‑based monitoring environments.
What's on Offer
* Opportunity to play a key role in a major network infrastructure programme.
* Exposure to modern observability, telemetry, and AI‑driven monitoring technologies.
* Collaborative engineering environment with significant project ownership.
* Competitive contract package and immediate project impact.
