Senior Cyber Security & Network Project Engineer

Location: Brighton / London / South East / Hybrid

Package: GBP70–100K + Pack

Type: Full–time Award–winning MSP

We're working with a highly respected, independent tech firm that is redefining what great looks like in cybersecurity and network solutions. With a track record of delivering some of the most complex infrastructure projects in the UK and Europe, they are now looking to grow their senior engineering team with someone who can lead from the front technically and strategically.

This is a fantastic opportunity for an experienced Cyber Security & Network Engineer who thrives in a hands–on role, enjoys client engagement, and wants to shape the future of secure, intelligent networks.

The Role

You will work closely with the presales, delivery, and solutions teams to design and implement market–leading network and security solutions. This is a key technical role, blending project engineering with solution consulting, so strong communication and client–facing skills are essential. You will also provide escalation support and help mentor more junior engineers.

What We’re Looking For

• Significant experience in a senior technical role within a managed services or consultancy environment
• Proven background in presales consulting including scoping, technical proposals, and customer engagement
• Deep technical knowledge across routing, switching, and cyber security technologies (e.g., Palo Alto, Fortinet, Cisco)
• A solid grasp of modern security frameworks and concepts such as Zero Trust, IAM, and SASE
• Strong problem–solving skills and a collaborative, proactive mindset
• Relevant certifications (e.g., CISSP, CCNP Security, NSE4, PCNSE) are highly desirable

Why Apply?

• You will be joining a company that truly invests in its people with paid study leave, flexible working, and clear development pathways
• Be part of a forward–thinking, inclusive team that values innovation and collaboration
• Work on major public and private sector projects using best–in–class technologies

If you're a technically strong, customer–focused engineer looking for your next challenge in a business that values impact over hierarchy, we'd love to hear from you.
