We are hiring an experienced Network Engineer to join a global infrastructure team delivering a major multi-year transformation programme. The project involves consolidating over 500 global locations into a single, standardised, and secure network environment.

This is a hands-on engineering role involving design implementation, configuration, and operational support within a large-scale, distributed infrastructure. The role offers exposure to modern network technologies such as Aruba, Infoblox, Algosec, and VeloCloud SD-WAN, as the client transitions from legacy systems to a unified, globally consistent architecture.

Key Responsibilities
Network Build & Integration

• Implement and configure new network infrastructure across multiple international sites.
• Participate in the full lifecycle of network rollout — from planning and deployment to migration, testing, and operational handover.
• Support the integration of 590 sites into a single, standardised global network environment.

Technology Implementation

• Deploy and manage Aruba networking solutions (switching, wireless, ClearPass, AirWave).
• Configure and administer Infoblox for DNS/DHCP/IPAM.
• Utilise Algosec for firewall policy governance and network segmentation.
• Support the VeloCloud SD-WAN rollout and ensure optimal performance.
• Maintain and support legacy network environments (e.g. Cisco, BlueCoat) during the transition phase.

Operational Support

• Troubleshoot network and connectivity issues across distributed environments.
• Work closely with internal teams and vendors to perform root-cause analysis and implement fixes.
• Contribute to operational documentation, process improvement, and network monitoring initiatives.

Security & Compliance

• Ensure all network changes and deployments adhere to global security and compliance standards.
• Collaborate with Information Security teams to maintain secure connectivity and proxy environments.
• Support the decommissioning of legacy systems as new platforms are adopted.

Collaboration & Delivery

• Partner with regional infrastructure leads and project managers to align with the global roadmap.
• Provide technical input for planning, resource estimation, and sequencing.
• Share expertise through knowledge transfer and mentoring of other network engineers.

Essential:

• Strong background in enterprise network engineering and operations (experience in financial services or regulated industries advantageous).

• Hands-on experience with:

• Aruba (switching, wireless, ClearPass, AirWave)

• Infoblox (DNS/DHCP/IPAM)
• SD-WAN, preferably VeloCloud

• Algosec (firewall and security policy management)

• Proven track record in large-scale network rollouts or transformation programmes.

• Deep understanding of TCP/IP, routing protocols (BGP, OSPF, EIGRP), VLANs, VPNs, firewalls, proxies, and load balancers.
• Strong troubleshooting, analytical, and problem-solving skills.
• Experience in distributed global environments and collaborating with remote teams.
