Bracknell Forest Council
Location
Bracknell, Berkshire | United Kingdom
Job description
We have been investing in new technologies such as the latest generation of firewalls, Cisco switching and Wi-Fi 6E access points, with SD-Access. We’re installing this ourselves which has allowed time to learn and set it up. There is external training too, if required. Also, the team is very collaborative, with engineers supporting each other as needed.
We also need someone to help use up our Cisco learning credits!
The IT infrastructure of Bracknell Forest Council is the main pillar of how the Council delivers to our residents. The Network Team at Bracknell Forest Council look after all aspects of Network Architecture, Strategy, Design, Implementation, and support of the enterprise network environment. This is an opportunity join us and shape the environment going forward.
The network team is an extremely rewarding place to gain exposure to the latest enterprise network technologies.
Since you are working for an end user in-sourced consumer of IT services rather than an IT service provider, you will work directly with our ‘customers’ in a transparent manner without a customer:service provider relationship. So, things tend to be less contentious since we are ‘all on the same side’.
You will be required to work ‘shifts’ between 08:00-17:30 (the council’s core business hours), Monday to Friday, and this is open to negotiation with the rest of the team on a day-to-day basis.
Even though this is a hybrid role with most office visits being planned due to project-related activities, there’s the need to attend Council sites in a timely manner at short notice to resolve network faults and outages. A driving licence is essential.
Some out of hours work will be required to support network changes and maintenance with least disruption to council services.
A minimum of a day a week in the office should be expected, but you must be able to reach Bracknell within two hours in the event of network downtime.
To be suitable for the role, you would fit the following profile:
Interviews will be held on 18th March 2024
