We are seeking an experienced Network Engineer to join a high-profile project team delivering critical firewall migrations and data centre refresh initiatives. This role offers the opportunity to work on cutting-edge technologies within a collaborative and fast-paced environment.
About the Role:
You will be engaged in two key streams:

* Collaborate with project teams to ensure successful cutovers and minimal disruption.
* Provide senior-level technical guidance and issue resolution across both streams.
Skills & Experience Required:
* Palo Alto Firewall: Migration experience, Panorama proficiency, senior-level expertise.
* MPLS: Deep understanding of L2/L3VPN, Multicast VPN, and IS-IS.
* Data Centre (Cisco): Nexus 9000, DCI, UCS, and strong Cisco routing/switching experience.

* Excellent troubleshooting skills and ability to work independently.
Why Join Us?
* Work on enterprise-scale projects in a highly skilled team.
* Gain exposure to advanced firewall and data centre technologies.
* Competitive contract rates with strong possibility of extension.
