The Role: Network Engineer Location: Manchester City centre with hybrid working Package: 35 - 45,000 with solid benefits - health, enhanced pension, bonuses, various perks such as wellbeing days. We're looking to recruit a number of customer facing, network engineers, ideally from an ISP/MSP background to join this rapid growth builder and operator of next generation networks across the UK. In the provisioning group, you'll be bringing new customer services online across access and aggregation networks and the majority of the work being end to end, so both LAN & WAN. If, for example, you have a strong LAN background we would be happy training you up providing you're willing to learn and have the right attitude. They are well funded, growing and from the Manchester City Centre location, you'll join the team that will plan, configure and then implement enterprise LAN, WAN and Wi-Fi solutions to business customers, so you'll get a chance to help to build the network solutions from scratch, and then see the projects through on an end to end basis. You'll have an active involvement on a range of projects, and be involved in customer meetings so you'll need to blend that network engineering technical savvy, with solid relationship and communication skills so the position will interact both outside the business, and then also with internal colleagues across field engineering and infrastructure, to tackle any issues linked to installations, maintenance and general fault-finding. It's a mixed vendor environment with bias towards Juniper, but they also use Cisco and Nokia kit so we are open minded as to your bias, with the thinking being a good network engineer should be able to adapt across different kit manufacturers anyway. Ideally, we'd be looking for engineers that can point to experience of supporting carrier / enterprise grade network solutions and in depth knowledge of routing protocols would be assumed, so BGP, OSPF, MPLS, L3VPN etc. along with a solid understanding of access technologies, so dark fibre, ethernet, optical & FTTX. Who are you? Network engineer from the service provider background, with the finger on the pulse by way of "What's next" when it comes to automation and innovation across network connectivity. You don't need the specific qualification but we'd like to think you would be around the JNCIP-SP level or in Cisco world, a solid CCNP / CCDP. The company continue to grow, have a modern attitude towards work and culture and can contribute a lot towards your own development plus, it's definitely a give and take environment and we are hearing about a lot of initiatives that are going to allow you to focus on doing a great job, but without burning yourself out. Hybrid working, you would likely be in the office 3 days per week and it's a normal Monday to Friday working hours, no shifts but you'd have the opportunity to join the on-call rota once settled in. On that basis, you need to live within commuting range of Manchester as you will be in the office about 3 days a week. Sounds like you? Want to find out more? You have three options: Call Joe White at CRG TEC to discuss. We are really open about the role, opportunity and challenges, so if you need to find out more before committing that's fine Drop Joe a private message on LinkedIn and he will get back to you Send a copy of your CV via the links. We will give you a call to discuss further or at least get back to you if you don't quite hit the mark If we're both happy to proceed we'll work together to support you throughout your application, interview and offer process.
