The role
This is a senior, hands-on position where you’ll take ownership of complex, multi-site network and security projects end to end.

You’ll produce detailed designs and documentation, lead implementations, support delivery teams during key project phases, and work closely with Solution Architects to turn designs into real-world solutions.
What you’ll bring
- Deep, proven expertise across firewall and security platforms (FortiGate, SonicWall, WatchGuard, and/or Cisco — including centralised management and logging)
- Strong design and delivery experience on at least one major SD-WAN platform (Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN, Meraki SDWAN, Fortinet Secure SD-WAN, or comparable)
- Practical experience delivering SSE or SASE solutions (FortiSASE, Cisco Secure Connect, Cisco Secure Access or Cloudflare One)
- Solid fundamentals across routing and switching, VLANs, BGP, OSPF, IPsec, QoS, DNS, DHCP, and wireless (Meraki, Cisco, Aruba, Unifi)
- A strong track record leading multi-site network and security project delivery end to end
- The ability to produce clear, customer-facing documentation and translate technical complexity into plain language
- A calm, methodical approach under pressure, with a genuine commitment to mentoring the engineers around you
Desirable Experience with Fortinet NSE 7+, cloud networking (Azure/AWS), or Zero Trust/ ZTNA solutions.
Why join us?
You’ll be part of a high-performing technical team with real ownership, working on varied and interesting projects. We offer strong career development, support for certifications, and a genuinely collaborative environment.
