Senior Network Engineer (x3)

Role & What's in it for the applicant and why would they apply?:

This is a chance to join a large, mission-critical transport and logistics organisation where the network genuinely matters. The infrastructure supports nationwide operations and is treated as a strategic asset, not an afterthought.

The business is investing heavily in SD-WAN and core network modernisation, and these roles sit right at the heart of that journey. You'll be trusted to design, improve, and support a complex enterprise network, working with modern WAN technologies and solid Cisco foundations.

This is not a reactive support role. You'll have influence, technical ownership, and the backing of a stable organisation that values long-term thinking, engineering quality, and work–life balance. Add in a final salary pension and flexible hybrid working, and this is a rare combination of technical depth and stability.

Responsibilities:

• Design, support, and enhance large-scale enterprise network infrastructure.

• Lead and support SD-WAN environments across WAN and branch connectivity.

• Act as a senior escalation point for complex routing, switching, and WAN issues.

• Support and improve Cisco-based routing and switching estates.

• Deliver network upgrades, migrations, and improvement projects.

• Work closely with internal IT and business stakeholders to ensure performance and resilience.

• Produce and maintain high-quality documentation and network designs.

• Contribute to both BAU operations and project-led work.

Skills / Must Have:

• Strong enterprise networking background with Cisco routing and switching.

• Proven experience with SD-WAN using one or more vendors, including:

– Fortinet SD-WAN

– HPE Aruba SilverPeak

– Cisco Viptela

– Versa Networks

– Cato Networks

– Palo Alto Prisma SD-WAN

– VMware Velocloud

• Confident troubleshooting WAN, LAN, and routing issues in complex environments.

• Experience operating in large, business-critical networks.

• Clear communicator with a pragmatic, senior engineering mindset.

Nice to Have:

• Fortinet SD-WAN experience.

• Exposure to F5 load balancing.

• Experience in regulated, transport, or critical national infrastructure environments.

Benefits:

• Final salary pension scheme (rare and valuable).

• Private medical cover.

• Extensive benefits package.

• Hybrid working with 1–3 days per week onsite.

• Long-term stability with a well-established organisation.

• Opportunity to work on infrastructure that supports real-world, nationwide operations.

Salary:

• £70,000 per annum (Senior Network Engineer x3)

Location:

London Bridge

Hybrid working – 1 to 3 days per week onsite.
