Job description

  • Own T3 escalations across a portfolio of high-value enterprise customers - connectivity and CPE focus, no voice
  • Support and manage Cisco routing, switching, and Firepower firewall environments
  • Support and manage Fortinet FortiGate and FortiSD-WAN deployments
  • Work across secondary technologies including Meraki and Juniper where required

Requirements

  • Solid T3 network engineering background - MSP environment strongly preferred
  • Cisco routing and switching experience - CCNA level as a baseline (current cert not required)
  • Hands-on Fortinet experience - FortiGate and FortiSD-WAN in a managed service environment
  • Strong customer-facing communication skills - you’re confident, clear, and calm under pressure
  • Comfortable owning difficult situations with enterprise customers - this role requires resilience and professionalism
  • End-customer background considered for candidates with strong technical depth

About the company

Our client is a well-established MSP with a dedicated platinum support team looking after their most strategic enterprise customers. They’re hiring a T3 Network Engineer to join that team - handling the complex escalations, the difficult conversations, and the problems that need someone who really knows their stuff.

This isn’t a service desk role. It’s a senior technical seat on a team that supports high-value accounts where expectations are high and the technical bar matches it. Cisco and Fortinet are the primary stack. MSP background preferred but strong end-customer engineers will be considered.
