## Description

We're looking for an experienced Network Engineer to join a growing, engineering-led technology business based in Worcester.

This is a hands-on technical role covering project delivery, customer solutions, escalation support and network design. It would suit someone operating at, or close to, Senior Network Engineer level who enjoys working across varied customer environments rather than sitting in a narrow BAU support role.

You'll be involved in the design, implementation and support of enterprise network solutions across LAN, WAN, wireless and security technologies. The role includes customer-facing project work, technical documentation, troubleshooting complex issues and acting as an escalation point for the service team.

The role is a hybrid role and you will work onsite in Worcester 2/3 days a week.

What you'll be doing:

 * Designing and implementing Cisco network solutions across LAN, WAN, Wi-Fi and security
 * Configuring and supporting routers, switches, firewalls and VPNs
 * Working with Cisco ASA / FTD, routing protocols and switching technologies
 * Supporting customer projects from design through to delivery
 * Producing clear technical documentation
 * Acting as an escalation point for complex network issues
 * Supporting network assessments, capacity planning and proof-of-concept work
 * Working with internal teams, customers and third-party suppliers
 * Participating in an on-call rota, typically every 6-8 weeks
