Your New Role

The primary objective of the Network and Communications Architect is to design, implement, and manage the organization's network and communication systems, ensuring they are robust, scalable, and secure to meet the business's operational needs. This role involves collaborating closely with other IT teams to integrate new technologies and optimize existing systems, enhancing performance and reliability.

In addition to these responsibilities, the Network and Communications Architect will be responsible for managing relationships with suppliers to ensure that services and products meet the organisation's requirements and standards. This role will also involve line management of a Network Engineer, providing guidance, support, and development opportunities to ensure high performance and job satisfaction.

Responsibilities

The Network and Communications Architect is responsible for:

  1. Designing and planning the layout and configuration of the organisation's network infrastructure, including assessing business requirements and evaluating technology options.
  2. Researching and evaluating new networking technologies, products, and services for suitability within the organisation's network infrastructure.
  3. Overseeing the implementation and deployment of network infrastructure, including routers, switches, firewalls, and other networking devices.
  4. Designing and implementing network security policies, access controls, encryption methods, and intrusion detection systems.
  5. Managing relationships with external suppliers and vendors.
  6. Providing input into the future technical roadmap and strategy to align network and communication systems with long-term business goals.
  7. Involvement in the acquisitions and relocations process to ensure network designs and connectivity are in place for new sites.
Technical Requirements

The ideal candidate will possess expert-level knowledge of IT Networks, Telephony, and Video Conferencing infrastructure, including WAN, LAN, Wi-Fi, Firewall, VPN, Load Balancing, and Networking Concepts within Cloud Compute platforms. Experience working with technologies such as Cisco SD WAN, Cisco Webex Calling, Zscaler, Meraki Wi-Fi, FortiGate Firewall, and Azure networking is highly desirable.

The ability to translate business requirements into technical design is essential, ideally with recognised industry-standard qualifications, particularly relevant Cisco qualifications. Strong Security focus, including a working knowledge of Firewalls, Cloud Compute Security principles, and Privilege Access Management, is also required.

Proficient knowledge and awareness of wider Infrastructure technologies and trends not covered by the Networks and Communications banner are necessary. Line management experience and familiarity with coaching techniques are also essential.

Self-motivated individuals with keen attention to detail, able to prioritise and execute tasks in a high-pressure environment, are ideal candidates for this role. Experience working in a team-oriented, collaborative environment is also required.
