3rd Line Network Engineer £43,000 £49,000 24 days holiday + bank holidays, pension, paid parking, phone allowance, funded training & certifications Manchester / Warrington 1 day a week from home Travel to customer-site travel across the North West as required The Opportunity: If you enjoy getting into complex network problems but also want to be the person designing and delivering the solution, this is worth a look. We re working with an established MSP/MSSP that s looking for an experienced engineer to strengthen its networking capability. It s a mixture of 3rd line network support and project delivery, so you won t just be sitting on a ticket queue all day. You ll pick up the more complex networking escalations while also getting involved in firewall replacements, network refreshes, connectivity changes, wireless deployments, office moves and SD-WAN projects. The important thing is that you can take ownership. When something gets complicated, you re comfortable getting into the network, working out what s actually going wrong and seeing it through to resolution. Day to day You ll work across LAN/WAN, routing, switching, VLANs, VPNs, firewalls, wireless, connectivity and SD-WAN within a multi-customer MSP environment. One day you might be troubleshooting a firewall or routing issue, the next you could be implementing a new network, replacing a firewall or planning a customer connectivity migration. The environment is multi-vendor, with technologies including Fortinet, Cisco, Meraki, SonicWall, Aruba, Ubiquiti, DrayTek and Ruckus. You don t need experience with all of them strong networking fundamentals are much more important. You ll also work with ISPs and connectivity providers around leased lines, broadband, failover and wider connectivity issues. There s a proper project element too. You ll help plan network changes, understand the existing environment, document what needs changing and produce implementation, rollback and handover documentation. Who we are looking for You could currently be a 3rd Line Network Engineer, Network & Infrastructure Engineer, or Network Support Engineer within an MSP or service provider. You ll need strong networking fundamentals and be comfortable troubleshooting across firewalls, switches, routing, VLANs, VPNs, wireless, DNS/DHCP and internet connectivity. We re particularly interested in people who have gone beyond simply supporting networks and have started delivering changes and projects themselves. That could be firewall migrations, network refreshes, office moves, new site deployments, wireless upgrades, SD-WAN or connectivity migrations. You ll also need to be comfortable dealing directly with customers, explaining technical issues clearly and taking ownership when something needs sorting properly. Recent MSP, service provider or multi-customer experience is important, and you ll need a full UK driving licence for customer-site work. The Next Steps If you want more ownership of customer networks and the opportunity to combine complex troubleshooting with proper project delivery, this could be a good next move. You ll still get the variety of an MSP environment, but with much more focus on networking, firewalls, connectivity and project delivery. If this sounds like the sort of move you ve been looking for, drop me a message or contact Joe White at CRG TEC for a confidential chat about the role.

Network Security Consultant Base Salary: £45 £60k Benefits: 25 days holiday, private healthcare, twice-yearly bonus + funded professional qualifications Location: Manchester or Lancaster 3 days office / 2 days home Travel: Occasional travel to customer sites across the UK The opportunity: If you re a Network Engineer who has naturally moved more into the security side of things, or you re already working within network security and want more exposure to design, consultancy and project work, this could be a really good next step. We re working with a growing specialist network and connectivity business that designs, builds and supports complex network environments for large organisations across the UK. Due to continued growth, they re looking to add another Network Security Consultant to the team. This isn t a role where you ll spend all week sat in a ticket queue. There is a support element, but you ll also get involved in designing solutions, delivering projects, implementing new technology and working directly with customers. One of the big selling points here is the development. They re happy to invest in people and will fund relevant professional qualifications and certifications, giving you the opportunity to keep developing technically and progress further into network security, consultancy and architecture. Day to day You ll be working across a mixture of network and security projects, implementations and 3rd line escalations. That could mean designing and deploying firewalls, working on VPN or SD-WAN solutions, troubleshooting a complex network issue, completing an upgrade or helping deliver a wider customer infrastructure project. You ll work across LAN/WAN environments alongside technologies covering enterprise firewalls, routing and switching, VPNs, web filtering, identity and access management and wider network security. There is a customer-facing element too. You ll be involved in gathering requirements, producing technical designs and implementation plans, carrying out network/security health checks and talking customers through the solutions you re delivering. The environments are business-critical, so there is an out-of-hours/on-call element to the position, which we can talk you through properly before you decide whether the opportunity is right for you. Who we are looking for You don t necessarily need to already have Network Security Consultant on your CV. You could be a Network Engineer, Network & Security Engineer, Network Security Engineer, Firewall Engineer or 3rd Line Network Engineer who has built up strong hands-on experience within networking and security. The important thing is that you understand networking properly. We re looking for solid TCP/IP and L2/L3 knowledge alongside hands-on experience with areas such as enterprise firewalls, LAN/WAN, routing and switching, VPNs, SD-WAN and network security. Ideally, you ll have experience implementing or upgrading network/security solutions rather than purely supporting an existing environment. Experience working within an MSP, ISP, network integrator or consultancy would translate particularly well because you ll be working across multiple customer environments. You ll also need to be comfortable speaking with customers, troubleshooting independently and taking ownership of problems through to resolution. You don t need to have every certification under the sun already. If you ve got the technical foundations and want to continue learning, there s a genuine commitment here to funding relevant qualifications and developing people further. The Next Steps If this sounds like the sort of role you ve been looking for, or you re currently working in networking and wondering whether you ve got enough security experience to make the move, get in touch. Alongside the £40,000 £60,000 salary, there s a solid overall package with 25 days holiday, private healthcare, two bonus opportunities each year and funded professional qualifications. You don t need to tick every box. If you ve got a strong networking background, good exposure to network security and want to develop further in this space, I d be happy to have a conversation. Drop me a message or contact Joe White at CRG TEC for a confidential chat about the role.

Senior Network Security Consultant Base Salary: £60-75k Benefits: 25 days holiday, private healthcare, twice-yearly bonus + funded professional qualifications Location: Remote (UK) Travel: Occasional travel to customer sites and company offices as required The opportunity: If you re already working at a senior level within network security and want a role where you can take genuine technical ownership of customer environments, this is worth a look. We re working with a growing specialist network and connectivity business that designs, builds and supports complex network environments for large organisations across the UK. Due to continued growth, they re looking to add a Senior Network Security Consultant to the team. This is much more than a 3rd line support position. You ll take projects from initial customer requirements and solution design through to implementation, documentation and ongoing technical ownership. You ll work closely with customers and the commercial team at the pre-sales stage, gathering requirements, designing solutions and presenting those back to the customer before taking the technical lead through delivery. It s a genuinely hands-on consultancy position, but one where you ll have much more ownership around architecture, customer strategy and technical direction. There s a strong investment in technical development too, with relevant professional qualifications and certifications funded as part of the role. Day to day You ll be designing, implementing and supporting network security solutions across complex customer environments. That will include enterprise firewalls, LAN/WAN, VPNs, SD-WAN, ZTNA, SASE, authentication and wider network security technologies, alongside maintaining a strong understanding of routing, switching and networking fundamentals. You ll lead technical projects throughout their lifecycle, producing detailed designs and implementation plans before taking responsibility for successful delivery. There s also an increasing focus on modern security operations, so exposure to areas such as SIEM, SOAR and XDR would be useful. Beyond project delivery, you ll act as a senior technical escalation point, carry out customer security audits and health checks, make recommendations around improving existing environments and provide ongoing technical ownership for nominated customers. You ll also help develop other engineers within the team through technical mentoring, knowledge sharing and internal training. The environments are business-critical, so there is an out-of-hours/on-call element to the role alongside occasional planned maintenance. Who we are looking for You could currently be a Senior Network Security Engineer, Network Security Consultant, Senior Network & Security Engineer or already operating at Network Security Architect level. The important thing is that you ve moved beyond simply supporting network environments. You ll have experience designing solutions, leading implementations and taking technical ownership of customer projects. We re looking for strong networking fundamentals alongside detailed experience across enterprise firewalls, LAN/WAN, VPN, SD-WAN and modern network security architecture. Experience within an MSP, ISP, network integrator or consultancy would translate particularly well, particularly if you re used to working across multiple customers and complex environments. You ll need to be comfortable gathering requirements, producing technical designs, presenting solutions to customers and then remaining involved through implementation and ongoing support. Experience around security compliance frameworks and public-sector environments would be useful, as would exposure to SIEM, SOAR, XDR and infrastructure automation. More than anything, they want somebody who can take technical ownership. Someone who can get into the detail when needed, communicate confidently with customers and be the person other engineers turn to when things get complicated. The Next Steps If you re already working within network security but feel like your current role has become too support-heavy, this is an opportunity to move further into design, consultancy and technical ownership without moving away from the hands-on technology. The role can be based remotely, with occasional travel when needed for customer projects and meetings. If this sounds like the sort of move you ve been looking for, drop me a message or contact Joe White at CRG TEC for a confidential chat about the role.

IT Systems Engineer Base Salary: £31,000 £35,000 Benefits: Private healthcare & dental, 27 days holiday + more Location: Whitechapel, London 3 days a week in the office The opportunity: This is a great next step for someone with a couple of years IT experience who wants more ownership than simply working through a support queue. You ll be joining a SaaS business as the go-to person for day-to-day internal IT, supporting around 60 users across the UK and international offices. It s a small environment, so you ll get plenty of autonomy, but you ll also have direct access to one of the co-founders who will help mentor and develop you. A lot of the repetitive support work has already been automated, which means this isn t just a case of resetting passwords all day. You ll still look after the day-to-day IT environment, but there ll also be opportunities to get involved in improvement work, automation and internal projects. Day to day You ll look after the internal Microsoft environment, supporting users across Microsoft 365, SharePoint, Teams, OneDrive and Active Directory. You ll manage laptops and devices, handle starters and leavers, create user accounts and make sure equipment is configured properly. You ll also be the person people come to when monitors, printers, meeting rooms or other bits of physical IT aren t behaving themselves. Alongside the BAU work, you ll help improve how internal IT is delivered. That could mean building out automation, improving processes, creating user guides or getting involved in projects set by the co-founder. There s some exposure to AWS and wider SaaS platforms too, so there s plenty to learn if you re someone who likes figuring things out rather than waiting to be shown every step. Who we are looking for You ll probably have around 2 3 years IT experience and be ready for a role where you can take a bit more responsibility. A good grounding across Microsoft 365, Active Directory, Windows devices and general IT troubleshooting is important. Some knowledge of networking fundamentals such as IP, DNS and firewalls would also be useful, although the core network itself is managed externally. Experience with Macs, SharePoint, Intune/device management, AWS, Salesforce or NetSuite would all be useful, but you don t need to tick every box. The bigger thing is attitude. They re looking for someone curious, personable and comfortable working things out. Someone who can be given a problem they haven t seen before, go away, research it and come back with an answer rather than immediately passing it on. You ll be interacting with people across the whole business, so you need to be able to communicate well too. This won t suit someone who wants to sit behind a screen all day and avoid speaking to people. The Next Steps If you ve got a couple of years IT experience and you re looking for a role where you can take more ownership, learn directly from senior people in the business and start getting involved in more than just support tickets, this could be a really good move. Drop Joe White at CRG TEC a message or apply and I ll give you a call to talk through the role properly.
