Bracknell office - hybrid

This is a position with a major UK defence consultancy business for a pre-sales network architect to come in and support on a variety of bids within the UK Government sector. The role will involve scoping and designing solutions using largely Cisco and Juniper kit, and sometimes supporting delivery of successful bids.

During active bids you may only typically be required in Bracknell one day per week, but this can go up as bids move towards the end of the process, or while you are supporting delivery. You will also on occasion be required to travel to client sites, this will of course be put on expenses.

This role will require you to achieve a high level of security clearance, if you currently hold SC clearance you can start on this level with the understanding that your clearance will be upgraded whilst in post. If you do not currently hold a clearance, you will need to achieve the higher level clearance ahead of commencing this role.

The client bids on both Cisco and Juniper projects, so ideally you would have an understanding of both. However if you are heavily biased one way or another this is not an issue.
