Description
We are seeking a hands-on Senior Network Engineer on a contract basis to deliver critical network transformation projects across our hybrid (on-premises and cloud) environments. This role requires deep technical expertise in network architecture, operations, and cybersecurity best practices, with a strong focus on execution and delivery. The engagement scope includes delivering a network refresh (firewall, switches, and routers) across both our office and the Birmingham data centre, assisting the DevOps team in establishing connectivity to a major critical infrastructure services provider via a dedicated MPLS circuit, and leading the design and implementation of a network segmentation project in AWS, separating production and non-production environments. If you have the technical depth, project delivery skills, and hands-on experience to deliver on critical infrastructure objectives, we would love to hear from you.
