It covers system selection, data migration, integration across the wider estate, cutover and the decommissioning of what is in place today.

If that is your background, you will recognise this environment straight away. This is a role for a Head of IT, or an IT Manager ready to step up, who wants to own the whole picture rather than one slice of it. If you want to lead a systems programme that genuinely changes how a business operates, and you would rather be in the detail than above it, this is worth a conversation.

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.
