Are you a hands-on Network Consultant with a passion for modern networking technologies and secure architecture?

We’re recruiting on behalf of a specialist UK-based network consultancy with of experience delivering cutting-edge, client-specific solutions. They’re looking to bring in a talented Network Consultant to support a growing portfolio of high-impact projects – including secure data centre migrations and enterprise network transformations across a diverse range of customers.

This is a fully remote role with travel to customer site when required (approximately once or twice a month).

What you’ll be doing:

  • Leading and supporting network architecture and design
  • Performing firewall migrations (e.g., Cisco ACI into NSX-T)
  • Managing and configuring NSX-T in live environments
  • Contributing to presales discussions and technical solutioning
  • Supporting Software-Defined Data Centre (SDDC) environments
  • Working with technologies such as Cisco ISE, Cisco FTD, Palo Alto, Fortinet, Meraki, and ideally Juniper Mist
  • Occasional on-site presence – projects are primarily remote

What you’ll need:

  • Active SC clearance (or eligibility) – essential
  • Strong experience with NSX-T and firewall migration projects
  • Hands-on experience with modern firewall vendors (Cisco, Palo Alto, Fortinet, etc.)
  • Knowledge of SDDC concepts (Cisco ACI, virtual firewalls, VMware NSX)
  • CCNP-level knowledge or equivalent
  • Consultancy or project delivery background
  • Bonus: Experience with Juniper Mist

This is a fantastic opportunity to join a highly respected consultancy where you'll work alongside industry leaders, take ownership of your work, and contribute to large-scale transformations. You’ll need to be proactive, flexible, and comfortable getting stuck in – whether that’s architecting solutions or (metaphorically) taking the bins out.
