Senior Network Engineer
Salary: Up to £65,000 DOE + On-Call Allowance & Paid Callouts Location: Essex - Hybrid Employment: Full Time, Permanent
This is an opportunity to join a well-established UK technology services business operating across managed networks, ISP services and datacentre infrastructure.
Supporting a diverse customer base that includes enterprise and critical national infrastructure environments, the business designs, delivers and manages complex, highly available network solutions across the UK.
We're looking for a Senior Network Engineer with strong service-provider networking experience who is confident working across routing, switching, firewalls and datacentre infrastructure.
This is a genuinely hands-on senior engineering position.
You'll work across both internal ISP/datacentre infrastructure and complex customer environments, taking ownership of network projects from initial design and implementation through to migration, troubleshooting and ongoing support.
At the heart of the environment are Cisco Nexus, Cisco ASR, Fortinet and BGP , so you'll need to be technically strong across these technologies rather than simply having supported them at a high level.
The Role
Working within an established Network Operations function, you'll act as a senior technical point of escalation whilst helping develop and maintain both service-provider infrastructure and managed customer networks.
You'll take ownership of installation and migration projects, configure and troubleshoot complex network environments and work directly with customers to resolve technical issues.
The position also participates in a 24x7 on-call rota , supporting high-availability customer environments alongside the organisation's own ISP and datacentre platform. A separate on-call allowance and paid callout payments are provided in addition to the base salary.
Key Responsibilities
Own network installation and migration projects from planning through to delivery. Maintain and develop ISP and datacentre network infrastructure. Manage core routing, peering, transit and edge connectivity. Design, configure and troubleshoot BGP , including peering and route policies. Configure and support Cisco Nexus datacentre switching environments. Configure and support Cisco ASR service-provider and edge routing. Manage multi-customer firewall environments using FortiGate and FortiManager . Configure zone-based firewalling, NAT, IPS, web filtering and AV policies. Configure and troubleshoot IPSec site-to-site and SSL VPN connectivity. Support resilient Layer 2 and Layer 3 network environments. Maintain and develop network monitoring and alerting. Work directly with customers during implementations, migrations and technical incidents. Participate in the 24x7 engineering on-call rota.
