We are seeking an experienced network professional to work across enterprise and data centre environments.

This role will suit an experienced Network Consultant, Senior Network Engineer or Senior Systems Engineer with strong technical capability and the confidence to work directly with customers.

• Produce high-level and detailed technical documentation
• Participate in customer workshops and technical discussions
• Work with internal technical teams and stakeholders during project delivery
• Provide technical input into solution design and proposals

The role covers technologies including enterprise networking, software-defined networking, wireless, network security, cloud networking and identity-based access control.

Experience

We are looking for candidates with:

• Strong hands-on experience with Cisco and/or Aruba routing, switching and wireless
• Enterprise network security experience with technologies such as Cisco, Aruba, Palo Alto, Fortinet or similar
• Experience with identity-based networking, including 802.1X, NAC, ClearPass or ISE
• Experience delivering network refreshes, migrations and large-scale wireless deployments
• Strong troubleshooting and problem-solving skills
• Experience working directly with customers and technical stakeholders

• The ability to work independently or as part of a project team

The underlying role calls for at least five years' experience in a customer-facing technical position, with strong documentation and stakeholder skills.

Experience with public cloud networking, scripting, virtualisation and additional network or security vendors would be advantageous.

Relevant vendor certifications are expected, and tertiary IT qualifications are desirable.

Candidates currently working at Senior Systems Engineer or Senior Network Engineer level are encouraged to apply where they can demonstrate the technical depth, client-facing capability and communication skills required to move into a consulting environment.
