Job Description

On a day-to-day basis, you will manage the network infrastructure that delivers UK & Ireland core network connectivity, including core POP sites, transit interconnection, peering and fibre backhaul services to our Reading Data Centre. The routing and switching layers that sit behind to form the core of our Hosting Products will also fall under your direct responsibility.

This includes making sure that all services are available for 100% of the time as well as making sure that the network is deployed in a resilient configuration, failures, faults and general health issues are quickly resolved, and careful capacity planning to deliver in advance of requirement.

Another important part of the role is to liaise with other departments in the company, including Development and Support, to help resolve issues and identify areas that require work. This includes producing tools to enable the support department to troubleshoot problems without escalating them.

You should have at least 8-10 years of experience in an IT Systems role (5 years of network engineering within the ISP industry), and a technical-related degree is preferred. You should be a highly proactive individual who can create resilient, scalable and innovative networks from design through purchasing, implementation, administration and future expansion. You will be comfortable working on projects on your own and as part of a team. You should also be able to work with multiple network vendor equipment.

In performing your duties, you will be expected to use your best endeavours always to promote and maintain the company's interests and reputation.

As a Senior Network Engineer, you could also be requested to act as a Project Manager and coordinate groups of people who work on projects, ensuring that the department’s SLAs are consistently met and, wherever possible, exceeded. In addition, you could be asked to play a major part in driving change and improvement initiatives, as well as coaching and advising staff.
