Your day-to-day:
- Planning and delivering robust, secure network solutions spanning LAN, WAN, wireless and VPN
- Owning the configuration and upkeep of firewalls, switches, routers and access points across the estate
- Keeping a close eye on uptime, bandwidth and latency through monitoring platforms such as SolarWinds or PRTG, and resolving bottlenecks before users notice them
- Serving as the senior escalation point for network incidents, including those affecting remote locations
- Hardening the environment through VLAN design, firewall rule management, intrusion detection and a rigorous patching regime
- Producing and maintaining clear network diagrams, IP records and configuration documentation
- Supporting the wider infrastructure when required, think Windows and Linux servers, Active Directory, DNS/DHCP, virtualisation with VMware or Hyper-V, and backup and recovery routines
- Contributing networking expertise to projects, upgrades and migrations, and delivering third-line support to the business
The person we're after:
- A seasoned network professional with a strong track record across enterprise environments
- Deep practical knowledge of routing, switching, firewall and wireless technologies
- Comfortable with monitoring tooling and well-versed in network security fundamentals

- Naturally proactive, someone who spots what could work better and says so
- A sharp troubleshooter with tidy documentation habits and a collaborative style
- Strong communication and interpersonal skills
In return, you'll join a global business with a genuine commitment to its technology function, and the scope to put your own stamp on its network infrastructure. Sound like you? Please apply with your latest CV for consideration.
