Fortinet Engineer

As the sole Network Engineer in the business, you will work directly alongside an experienced Network Architect. You won't just be maintaining legacy systems; you will be at the heart of greenfield installations and complex network transformations.

• Implement & Deliver: Take architected designs (LLDs) and bring them to life across diverse customer environments.
• Fortinet Specialist: Lead the configuration and deployment of FortiGate, FortiSwitch, FortiAP, and SD-WAN solutions.
• Collaborate: Act as the technical bridge between design and reality, providing Fortinet-specific input to the Architect.
• Autonomy: Manage your own workload in a fast-paced, project-driven environment where your expertise is trusted.

Do you have a valid Driving License license?, Do you have experience in VPN?, SC Clearance required if successful (UK or dual national)
