Overview

Im working with a well-established technology organisation that supports secure, complex network environments. Theyre continuing to invest in their network function and are adding an engineer who can take genuine ownership of live infrastructure and be trusted to do things properly. This is a hands‑on role where the network really matters. You wont just be following runbooks or passing tickets around. Youll be involved in supporting, maintaining and improving routed and switched networks, working closely with firewalls, VPNs and secure connectivity, and troubleshooting issues that actually require thought rather than guesswork.

Day to day, youll be supporting production networks, dealing with incidents end to end, and acting as an escalation point when things get more complex. Alongside the reactive work, theres also involvement in network changes, improvements and occasional build or commissioning activity, so its not just firefighting. Because of the nature of the environments, there is an out‑of‑hours support rota, but this is a well‑run setup rather than constant disruption. The environment itself is grown‑up and professional. Its regulated, security‑conscious and focused on doing things the right way. Youll be working alongside other experienced engineers and liaising with wider technical teams, so being able to communicate clearly and take responsibility is just as important as your technical skills.

The salary for the role is between £45,000 and £50,000 depending on experience, along with a strong benefits package and the stability that comes with working in a long‑term, well‑funded environment.
