Network Engineer

Glasgow | £0 | Permanent

Published: 24.04.25 Ref: BBBH51406_1745497677

A well-established and global professional services business with a strong presence in Glasgow is looking for an experienced Network Engineer to join their Infrastructure team. You'll be working across a hybrid model (3 days onsite), supporting the backbone of their network operations in a hands-on, 3rd line support role - all within a collaborative and future-focused environment.

The Role

You'll be part of a tight-knit infrastructure team spread across Glasgow, London, and Australia, and your main responsibility will be to support, maintain, and improve the global network infrastructure. This covers everything from day-to-day BAU support and troubleshooting to implementation of new systems and technologies.

You'll also play a key role in ensuring the network meets the company's high security and performance standards, and you'll work closely with third-party vendors on complex troubleshooting and root cause analysis.

The work is varied - from dealing with tickets and projects during core hours to occasionally getting involved in pre-planned evening/weekend changes (with time off in lieu, of course). There's also a shared on-call rota across the team.

What You'll Bring

We're looking for someone with solid experience in enterprise-level networking, including:

  • Strong Cisco skills (Nexus 3K/9K, BGP, OSPF, EIGRP) and WAN/LAN support.
  • Experience with firewalls (ideally Palo Alto or Fortinet) and Aruba wireless.
  • Familiarity with Layer 7 security, Riverbed WAN optimisation, VPNs, MPLS, QoS.
  • Hands-on knowledge of Solarwinds, Cisco Prime, and F5 (LTM/GTM/APM).
  • Excellent troubleshooting, documentation, and communication skills.

It'd be a bonus if you've worked with Aruba ClearPass, Azure ExpressRoute, cloud platforms (Azure, AWS, O365), VMware NSX, or hold an ITIL cert.

Why Join?

This is a great chance to join a globally recognised organisation that's genuinely investing in its tech and people. You'll work on meaningful projects with a supportive, future-focused team and benefit from a flexible hybrid model (3 days in office / 2 from home), generous salary, and strong emphasis on collaboration and professional growth.

If you're looking for a role that mixes technical depth with real teamwork, this could be your next move!

Our clients

Candidates

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

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

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

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

Data Scientist – Manchester

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

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

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

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

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

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

Software Developer – Northampton

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

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

Software Engineer – Manchester

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

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.
