Description:
Senior Systems Networking Engineer
Ringwood, Hampshire | Hybrid Working
Up to £55,000
Are you an experienced Network Engineer who enjoys designing solutions as much as troubleshooting them?
We're working with a well-established technology services business in Ringwood that is looking to add an experienced Senior Network Engineer to its technical team.
This is not simply a support position. You'll be involved throughout the lifecycle of customer infrastructure, from understanding technical requirements and designing the solution through to implementation, documentation, optimisation and ongoing technical improvement.
You'll work across varied enterprise environments and take ownership of complex networking challenges while contributing to larger infrastructure and transformation projects.
What you'll be doing
You'll design, implement and improve secure network solutions across customer environments, working with technologies spanning LAN/WAN, routing, switching, firewalls, VPNs and wireless networking.
You'll be trusted to investigate complex infrastructure problems, identify root causes and implement robust solutions rather than temporary fixes.
The position will also see you:
Design and deliver enterprise network infrastructure.
Configure and troubleshoot routers, switches, firewalls, VPNs and wireless environments.
Work with routing technologies including BGP, OSPF and EIGRP.
Support complex LAN/WAN and multi-site environments.
Integrate networking with cloud platforms, including Microsoft Azure.
Work with Azure networking technologies such as VNets, VPN gateways and load balancing.
Apply network security principles including IDS/IPS, NAC, SSL/TLS and Zero Trust.
Produce clear high-level and low-level technical designs.
Work closely with customers and internal technical teams to understand requirements and recommend appropriate solutions.
Support major technical incidents and troubleshoot difficult infrastructure problems.
Identify opportunities to improve performance, resilience, security and maintainability.
Contribute to preventative maintenance and ongoing service improvement.What we're looking for
We're looking for someone with substantial commercial experience designing and supporting enterprise network environments.
You'll ideally have around five years or more working within networking, infrastructure or systems engineering and be comfortable taking technical ownership of complex environments.
Your experience should include strong knowledge of:LAN/WAN | TCP/IP | DNS | DHCP | VPNs | Routing | Switching | Firewalls | Wireless | BGP | OSPF | EIGRP | MPLS
You'll also need excellent troubleshooting skills and the ability to communicate technical information clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
Experience producing technical documentation, designs, procedures and implementation plans will be important.
Exposure to Fortinet, SonicWall or Meraki environments would be highly beneficial.
Knowledge of Microsoft infrastructure-particularly Windows Server, DNS, RADIUS and PKI-would also complement the networking focus of the position.
Cloud networking experience within Microsoft Azure would be another significant advantage.Why consider the opportunity?
This is an opportunity to move beyond reactive network support and take greater ownership of design, architecture, implementation and technical improvement.
You'll join an established technology business where you'll work across diverse customer environments and have exposure to challenging networking and infrastructure projects.
