Hands-on Senior Network Engineer needed, to lead the design, testing, and deployment of a new network infrastructure as part of a major company transformation.
This role will focus on delivering Proof of Concepts (PoCs), migrating network environments, and integrating physical services such as CCTV into a Cisco Meraki-based architecture.
You will work closely with infrastructure teams, vendors, and business stakeholders to ensure seamless separation and continuity of network services for the newly formed entity.
Key Responsibilities:
* Design and deploy network solutions using Cisco Meraki (firewalls, switches, wireless, SD-WAN).
* Build Proof of Concepts (PoCs) to validate network configurations, integrations, and new service models.
* Lead the network migration strategy and execution for the demerger, ensuring minimal disruption to business operations.
* Configure and integrate physical services including CCTV, door access systems, and VoIP as part of the network design.
* Audit existing infrastructure and develop a migration blueprint from shared to independent environments.
* Liaise with vendors, facilities teams, and system integrators to coordinate hardware installs and configurations.
* Monitor network performance and troubleshoot any issues post-migration.
* Ensure all network documentation is updated, including topology diagrams, configuration backups, and asset registers.
* Adhere to best practices for network security, segmentation, and compliance requirements.
Experience:
* Proven experience as a Network Engineer, ideally in environments undergoing separation, demergers, or large-scale transformation.
* Strong hands-on expertise with Cisco Meraki (MX, MR, MS series).
* Experience with network migrations, PoC creation, and multi-site deployments.
* Solid understanding of IP networking, routing, switching, VLANs, VPNs, and wireless technologies.
* Familiarity with CCTV systems, IP cameras, and integration into enterprise networks.
* Ability to work autonomously and manage multiple project streams simultaneously.
* Cisco certifications (e.g., CCNA, Meraki CMNA) are a plus.
* Experience with physical security systems such as access control, alarm panels, or building management integration.
* Knowledge of hybrid networks involving cloud services (Azure/AWS) or SD-WAN
