I’m working with a global research organisation going through a major network transformation and they’re looking for a Network Engineer to come in and support delivery across a large-scale WAN roll out.

- Helping plan and execute migrations, including runbooks, cutovers and post-migration checks
- Working closely with third parties and regional teams to coordinate delivery
- Getting involved in security aspects (firewalls, VPNs, policy validation)
- Running and supporting testing phases (functional, failover, performance)
- Helping get everything ready for handover into BAU, including monitoring and NOC documentation
What they’re looking for
- Solid background in network engineering (around 5+ years)
- Experience working on WAN / SD-WAN / SASE environments
- Strong hands-on knowledge of Palo Alto (ideally Prisma Access)
- Good understanding of BGP and routing concepts
