Network Architect - Manufacturing IT/OT & Edge
£475-£525/day | Inside IR35 | Liverpool - 1-2 days onsite
We are recruiting for an experienced Network Architect to support a major global manufacturing infrastructure programme.
The role involves designing secure, resilient network connectivity between enterprise IT, factory operational technology (OT) environments and locally hosted Edge infrastructure.
We are particularly interested in candidates with network architecture experience within manufacturing, industrial or production environments, rather than purely corporate IT or data centre networks.
Key experience:
Senior network architecture across large, distributed or multi-site environments
Manufacturing IT/OT network integration and segmentation
LAN/WAN, SD-WAN, routing, switching and firewalls
Secure connectivity between enterprise IT, factory systems and Edge platforms
Network resilience, security and remote access
Developing reusable network designs, standards and HLD/LLD documentation
Working with factory engineering, security and infrastructure teams
Experience with industrial network security, the Purdue Model, IEC 62443 or similar OT security frameworks would be particularly valuable.
The objective is to establish consistent, secure network designs that can be deployed across multiple manufacturing sites without compromising production systems.
Contract: 6 months, £475-£525/day, Inside IR35 via umbrella.
Location: Liverpool, 1-2 days onsite per week, remaining time remote.
