?? Network Engineer | 12-Month FTC | £48,822 | Hybrid ( 1-2 days onsite/pw) ??
Harvey Nash are partnering with a large UK public sector organisation undergoing a significant network refresh and modernisation programme. This role provides critical hands-on support while the wider team delivers a major transformation and embeds a Network Operations Centre.
This is a delivery-focused role, sitting across 2nd and 3rd line support, fault resolution and technical change. You'll be heavily involved in supporting the current estate while contributing to rollout and stabilisation of the refreshed network - not just drawing diagrams and walking away.
The environment is predominantly on-prem, Cisco-led, with a tech refresh underway to Juniper.
There's plenty of real engineering work here: switch configuration, firewall rule changes, fault fixing, and supporting a complex live estate during transition.
What you'll be doing:
Providing 2nd and 3rd line network support, acting as a technical escalation point
Troubleshooting and resolving complex network faults across LAN, WAN and data centre environments
Hands-on work with Cisco technologies including Firepower, ACI and ISE
Supporting firewall configuration, rulesets and security controls
Working alongside a NOC function on monitoring and incident response
Contributing to network change, rollout activity and capacity planning
Supporting elements of Azure networking as the environment evolves
Engaging with vendors and internal stakeholders during the refresh programme
Experience of interest:
Strong hands-on experience in enterprise networking environments
Solid Cisco background (Firepower, ACI, ISE essential)
Firewall configuration and troubleshooting experience
Strong understanding of IP networking, LAN/WAN and data centre networking
Exposure to Azure networking and hybrid environments
Comfortable operating at 2nd/3rd line rather than desk-side
Experience working in large, complex estates (public sector a plus)
CCNA level knowledge minimum (CCNP or working towards welcome)
What's in it for you:
£48,822
12-month fixed-term role
42 days total annual leave (including bank holidays and closure days)
Employer pension contribution of 21.6%
Hybrid working with a strong on-site engineering presence
Varied, hands-on network role during a major refresh programme
This is a strong opportunity for a network engineer who enjoys real engineering work, fault ownership and being close to live infrastructure - not a pure design role.
