We’re looking for a hands-on Network Security Engineer to join our team supporting a large-scale government network. You’ll work across both day-to-day operations and project work, with a good mix of challenges and room to grow.
The role covers a broad environment—corporate networks, IT/OT, shared sites, and multiple data centres—so there’s plenty of variety. You’ll be involved in maintaining and securing the network, rolling out upgrades, and implementing new tech.
You'll work with Cisco, Check Point, F5 Load Balancers, Cisco SD-WAN, SDA, ISE, ACI and Firepower, alongside a skilled and collaborative team. We offer hybrid working, a supportive environment, and solid opportunities to develop your skills or take on more responsibility.
Skills/Experience
- Solid understanding of networking and security concepts, protocols, and design principles
- Experience with:
- Cisco routers, switches, and wireless (CCNA level or higher)
- Check Point firewalls
- Fortinet firewalls and SD-WAN technologies
- Familiarity with WAN/LAN and enterprise wireless networks
- IT and OT (Operational Technology) experience highly regarded
- CCNP or higher certification desirable for senior roles (any Cisco/networking certification is valued)
- Up-to-date knowledge of networking and technology trends
