Published: 14.10.24 Ref: 47635_1728917495

A UK-based cloud consultancy are currently on the lookout for an experienced Lead Network Engineer to join their hybrid team in offices across the Central Belt/East Coast of Scotland, or Northern England/London.

They have vast experience and expertise in the cloud space across the UK with a heavy presence in their market, where they offer a range of services and tailored solutions for their customers.

The role itself requires an experienced Network Engineer to guide the Network team through various projects and day-to-day networking tasks. These include assisting with the design and planning of network solutions, supporting both customers and internal teams with network device trouble shooting, and looking after their multi-datacentre UK network. You will play a vital role in the business as you continue to lead and develop their NOC.

It requires someone with experience in a lead/senior role with light team leader skills who feels confident enough to drive the network team forward and mentor engineers in the process. Essentially, you'll be leading the team to achieving both strategic and operational goals.

It's worth noting that the role also includes some on-call support. One week out of every four, you will be available as a 24/7 escalation point for the on-call team to deal with any difficult queries which the team needs to escalate.

Ideally, the successful candidate will have some of the following:

  • Experience in a Lead of Senior Network Engineering Position
  • Experience with Cisco and Dell Networking
  • Experience with VMWare NSX, Azure, AWS, NVP, MVS and Barracuda
  • CCNP Certification or Higher

The role would suit an experienced senior Network Engineer who is looking to join an exciting and innovative company with ambitions to further their career and climb the ranks. They are huge advocates of career development and progression, and have in-house examples of employees climbing the ranks to senior roles. It's a great time to join the company as they are going through a significant period of growth, and have recently opened up a new office south of the border as they aim to double their workforce over the coming years.

They have offices in Dundee, Aberdeen and down south but offer flexible working with bi-monthly office visits, so are open to speaking with candidates across Scotland and England. In return, they're able to offer a salary of up to £75,000 with a strong benefits package including pension contribution, time off for your birthday, amongst many more.

Our clients

Candidates

A friend looking after me, that’s how I felt. His friendly character made the whole process way easier and enjoyable, he also managed to get me one of the most interesting work opportunities. I’m really glad our paths have crossed.

Software Engineer - Edinburgh

Absolutely fantastic throughout my interview process, and I cannot recommend him highly enough! First of all, he is an absolutely brilliant communicator and extremely reliable. On top of all of his brilliant recruitment skills, it was amazing to see how genuinely excited he was for me when I received my offer. This truly conveyed to me how much he cares about his clients.

Software Engineer – Edinburgh

He goes out of his way to ensure you are prepared for your interview and I particularly appreciated his professional no nonsense approach to working with me to find a new position.

Infrastructure Architect – Glasgow

She even was able to help get a firmer offer as I was offered two roles on the same day. I felt she went over and above to get the best offer she could for me without selling myself short.

QA Engineer – Glasgow

I can say with total sincerity I’ve never dealt with a more professional, knowledgeable and personable recruitment firm in fifteen years of contracting. They helped my wife and I relocate to Edinburgh with our five month old son and it’s in no small part to their tips and recommendations that we’ve settled in so quickly.

Transformation Consultant – Leeds

It was a breath of fresh air – She is professional and approachable and will be there to help you every step of the way. Other recruiters give you the hard sell and the ‘best friend routine’ to get you on board and then just leave you guessing, but not here… She’s the real deal

Solutions Architect – Glasgow

Compared to other recruiters I have worked with she seemed genuinely interested in helping me with my job search rather than just fulfilling quotas.

Software Developer – Lincoln

He stood out in a world of poorly informed, unreliable and frankly annoying recruiters as a breath of fresh air.

Data Scientist – Manchester

She was friendly, communicative and informative, talked me through the process and gave me good advice at every stage.

Software Engineer – Manchester

Never have a I met a recruiter like him, who embeds himself in the community so thoroughly in a way that could only be genuine. From our conversations, he has shown an understanding of the industry I would expect from a local CTO.

MI Analyst – Bolton

I’ve never written a recommendation for a recruiter before, so it must show how impressed I am!

Software Developer – Northampton

He is the most honest, thorough and experienced recruitment consultant I have ever dealt with. If he can’t help you, he’ll tell you rather than spinning a yarn and putting you forward for jobs that aren’t suitable.

Technical Author – Edinburgh

Equal parts friendly and professional, never once coming across as simply going through the motions and made the whole thing as painless as possible for all parties

Software Developer – Glasgow

I have had dealings with the majority of recruitment agencies in this country and beyond. He really stands out from the crowd and the IT industry would benefit from more people like him.

Software Developer – Glasgow

THE BEST test recruiter I’ve had the pleasure of working with, from start to finish. She provided me with training resources and is an organiser and participant in testing events. She really has taken the time to fully understand the testing principles.

Test Analyst – Aberdeen
