Network Infrastructure Engineer

Gloucester - Hybrid Role + Client Visits

Up to £50,000 + Bonus + Outstanding Benefits

I’m recruiting on behalf of a specialist tech consultancy that’s making serious waves in a niche sector. This is a fantastic opportunity for a Network Infrastructure Engineer who’s either already in a project-heavy role or looking to move into one, and who wants to work with a team that genuinely values growth, autonomy, and meaningful delivery.

You’ll join a fast-growing, highly regarded consultancy working exclusively with prestigious independent schools across the UK. This is a company that blends cutting-edge tech with clarity, purpose, and people-first values.

Why this is worth your attention:

• If you’re passionate about project work and want a role where you can design and deliver end-to-end infrastructure solutions, this could be exactly what you’re after.
• This is not a reactive support role, it’s a consultative, client-facing position where you’ll be building relationships, scoping solutions, and taking ownership of delivery.
• You’ll also gain exposure to large-scale, high-impact projects across a range of modern technologies, with plenty of opportunity to develop new skills, gain certifications, and progress into more senior roles.

What you’ll be doing:

• Leading the technical delivery of infrastructure projects (both on-site and remotely)
• Scoping and designing tailored network, security, and cloud solutions
• Acting as a key technical resource in pre-sales discussions
• Carrying out comprehensive infrastructure assessments and producing client-ready reports
• Providing 2nd/3rd line support and guidance for client IT teams
• Collaborating with internal engineers and leadership to raise the bar across delivery

What you’ll need:

• Strong hands-on experience with networks, firewalls, and Microsoft infrastructure
• Fortinet NSE4 (or equivalent hands-on firewall experience)
• Solid understanding of DNS, DHCP, IP Subnetting, Microsoft Intune, and Entra ID
• Experience with Aruba wired/wireless networks, email/web filtering, and cloud platforms
• Clear communication skills and a consultative, solutions-focused mindset
• A full UK driving licence and willingness to travel (with occasional overnight stays)
• Experience working in or with educational settings is a bonus, but not essential.

What’s in it for you:

• Project-led role with meaningful autonomy
• Exposure to exciting large-scale and high-profile projects
• Ongoing investment in training and professional development
• Competitive salary + performance-related bonus
• Flexible, hybrid working setup with WFH support budget
• EV Salary Sacrifice Scheme
• 22 days holiday + bank holidays + your birthday off
• Holiday increases with service and a great perks/discount scheme
• Enhanced sick pay and company pension

Who this role is ideal for:

• You’re already in a 2nd/3rd line or project-focused role and ready to step up
• You’re keen to develop your technical skills further and work with enterprise-level tools
• You love solving problems, taking ownership, and delivering great outcomes for clients
• You want a role that offers variety, responsibility, and long-term career development
