The role involves architecting, designing, and implementing robust network solutions. The candidate should be a team player with experience supporting geographically dispersed environments and third-party network service providers.

This is a highly technical role focused on service and customer support, including the design, evaluation, and review of major network installations, implementation activities, client support, projects, transitions, due diligence exercises, and developing new business solutions.

• Designing technical solutions for network components, including cloud services, SDN hardware/software, load balancers, firewalls, proxies, and sizing.

• Reviewing client network infrastructures and proposing improvements.
• Transforming customer or project specifications into design definitions and leading their implementation.
• Ensuring compliance with change management processes and accurate delivery according to plans.

Capgemini values diversity and inclusion, fostering an environment where everyone can bring their whole self to work.

Your skills and experience

Expert knowledge of IP, Ethernet, routing, and switching in LAN/WAN/Data Centre/Public Cloud environments is essential. Practical experience with Cisco ACI and other modern networking technologies (e.g., Cisco MSO, NAE, SD WAN, SD Access), automation tools (Terraform, Ansible, Python), security products (Cisco Firepower, FortiGate), VMware NSX, and additional vendor experience (Azure, AWS, Google Cloud) is highly desirable.

Your security clearance

Obtaining SC security clearance is required, which involves residency in the UK for the past 5 years and other criteria. Some roles may be restricted to UK nationals.
