Network Engineer

We are looking to speak with experienced Network Engineers for a project supporting the assessment, improvement and modernisation of network infrastructure across a number of operational sites. Midlands location, 3 -4 days on site, travel and accommodation expenses all paid for.

This is a hands-on role suited to someone comfortable moving between network discovery, technical design, troubleshooting and implementation . You will be working with both local and central technology teams to understand the existing environment, identify weaknesses and deliver practical improvements without disrupting business operations.

What you'll be doing

• Assessing existing LAN, WLAN and WAN environments across multiple locations
• Reviewing network architecture, configurations, connectivity and resilience
• Identifying opportunities to improve performance, reliability and supportability
• Supporting network redesigns and infrastructure upgrades
• Deploying and troubleshooting switching and wireless infrastructure
• Supporting firewall deployment, routing and failover validation
• Working through WAN and carrier connectivity changes
• Identifying application, voice and legacy-network dependencies before changes are made
• Mapping network traffic and dependencies within operational environments
• Producing clear network diagrams, configuration records and implementation documentation
• Delivering changes through controlled migration, testing and rollback plans
• Supporting physical infrastructure activities within comms rooms and datacentre environments

What we're looking for

You should bring strong practical experience in complex, multi-site network environments and be equally comfortable assessing an existing estate and getting hands-on with the technology .

• Cisco Meraki switching, wireless and dashboard management
• LAN/WLAN architecture and troubleshooting
• TCP/IP, VLANs, routing and segmentation
• WAN connectivity and carrier migrations
• Network resilience and failover
• Network and application dependency mapping
• Structured network documentation
• Controlled infrastructure change and migration

Experience working within manufacturing, industrial, pharmaceutical or other operational/site-based environments would be particularly useful.

This isn't a purely design-focused position. We are looking for someone who can understand the wider infrastructure picture, engage effectively with stakeholders and vendors, and then work practically to get improvements delivered.
