Network Infrastructure Engineer in Liverpool

We’re looking for a Network Engineer to take ownership of a complex, multi‑site enterprise network supporting critical matchday, broadcast and business operations. This is not just a BAU support role. You’ll play a key part in modernising our network estate; improving resilience, performance and security across stadium, office and remote environments.

What you’ll be doing:

• Own and improve a multi‑site network estate (Anfield, offices, remote sites)
• Lead resolution of high‑impact incidents (connectivity, Wi‑Fi, performance)
• Drive improvements in network resilience and failover
• Improve Wi‑Fi performance and user experience
• Implement SD‑WAN and site connectivity solutions
• Work across LAN, WAN, Wi‑Fi and firewalls to deliver end‑to‑end solutions
• Partner with infrastructure, security and application teams to improve service quality
• Identify recurring issues and implement permanent fixes (not workarounds)
• Support ongoing transition to a modern, secure network architecture

What we’re looking for:

• Experience supporting complex, multi‑site enterprise networks
• Experience migrating from a traditional network to an SD‑WAN
• Comfortable across routing & switching (Cisco or equivalent), firewalls (Fortinet, Palo Alto), wireless networks (enterprise Wi‑Fi)
• Understanding of modern networking concepts such as SD‑WAN, Zero Trust/SASE, network segmentation
• Leadership of incidents and problem resolution, not just following tickets
• Proactive ownership mindset to improve services
• Clear communication with both technical and non‑technical stakeholders

Nice to have (but not essential):

• Experience in broadcast, media or high‑availability environments
• Exposure to cloud networking (Azure, AWS)
• Network automation/scripting awareness
• Vendor certifications (CCNA/CCNP or equivalent)

What success looks like:

• Network issues identified and resolved before users raise tickets
• Improved Wi‑Fi and connectivity performance across key sites
• Clear, measurable improvements in resilience and failover
• Strong collaboration across IT teams
