Based at Manchester Airport, this is a permanent, full-time position (36.25 hours per week) with normal office hours (9-5 / 8-4) and hybrid working. Out of hours on-call duties will be on a 6-week basis.

We are proud to be a diverse employer and welcome candidates from all backgrounds.

At MAG, we provide the airport facilities and travel services that people need to connect with the world. As the largest UK-owned airport operator, we serve over 60 million passengers a year from Manchester, London Stansted, and East Midlands Airports. With over 270 destinations across the globe, our businesses not only bring people together but also support the prosperity of the regions in which we operate. Sustainability is one of our core values, shaping everything we do. We're committed to protecting the environment and supporting our local communities through various programmes including airport and airline decarbonisation, comprehensive education, skills and employment support, and community engagement initiatives including volunteering opportunities.

You’ll have access to some great benefits including:

• Flexible and generous company pension plan with various company contribution options (up to 10%) that you can change to suit your personal needs
• 24 days holiday plus bank holidays
• Free parking
• Subsidised public transport
• Huge range of company discounts
• 2 volunteering days per year

• Care Concierge service

As a Network Engineer, you’ll support MAG’s LAN, WAN, and WiFi infrastructure in a fast-paced, ever-changing 24/7/365 environment. You’ll play a key role in maintaining and improving our network systems to ensure seamless connectivity across our airports while providing day-to-day support for critical services.

Your responsibilities will include maintaining and supporting existing network infrastructure, responding to and resolving faults (including liaising with external support where required), performing analysis and troubleshooting, and configuring and deploying network devices. You will also contribute significantly to network-related projects and ensure all work aligns with MAG’s change management procedures.

To be successful in this role, you should be an experienced Network Engineer with solid hands-on experience in a similar role and strong technical competency across Cisco switches, routers, and firewalls. A good understanding of LAN/WAN technologies, routing, switching, VPNs, and firewall configuration is essential, as well as experience with corporate WiFi solutions—ideally with Aruba, which would be a distinct advantage. Familiarity with network management tools such as Cisco DCNM and DNAC, along with relevant Cisco certifications, is required. ITIL or change-procedure experience is considered beneficial. The role also requires a willingness to work hybrid office hours and take part in on-call duties as part of the wider network support team.

We’re building something brilliant at MAG: a diverse team of Journey Makers who share our values and want to make a difference. We’re on a mission to be number one in our industry, and that takes talent in all its forms. With so many exciting roles across our airports and businesses, there’s space for your unique strengths to shine.

Whether this is your first role or your next big step, we want to hear from you – even if you don’t think you tick every box. What matters most is what you bring.
