The Opportunity:

If you enjoy getting into complex network problems but also want to be the person designing and delivering the solution, this is worth a look.

Were working with an established MSP/MSSP thats looking for an experienced engineer to strengthen its networking capability.

Its a mixture of 3rd line network support and project delivery, so you wont just be sitting on a ticket queue all day.

Youll pick up the more complex networking escalations while also getting involved in firewall replacements, network refreshes, connectivity changes, wireless deployments, office moves and SD-WAN projects.

The important thing is that you can take ownership. When something gets complicated, youre comfortable getting into the network, working out whats actually going wrong and seeing it through to resolution.

Day to day

Youll work across LAN/WAN, routing, switching, VLANs, VPNs, firewalls, wireless, connectivity and SD-WAN within a multi-customer MSP environment.

One day you might be troubleshooting a firewall or routing issue, the next you could be implementing a new network, replacing a firewall or planning a customer connectivity migration.

The environment is multi-vendor, with technologies including Fortinet, Cisco, Meraki, SonicWall, Aruba, Ubiquiti, DrayTek and Ruckus. You dont need experience with all of them strong networking fundamentals are much more important.

Youll also work with ISPs and connectivity providers around leased lines, broadband, failover and wider connectivity issues.

Theres a proper project element too. Youll help plan network changes, understand the existing environment, document what needs changing and produce implementation, rollback and handover documentation.

Who we are looking for

You could currently be a 3rd Line Network Engineer, Network & Infrastructure Engineer, or Network Support Engineer within an MSP or...
