With 6,000-7,000 live devices operating across the continent and a complex LAN infrastructure connecting them all, this is a high-visibility, mission-critical role at the heart of the business. You'll be working with a massive, high-availability network, bigger than most organisations of this size, with traffic across multiple APIs, customer endpoints, and network environments.


What You'll Be Doing:



  • Taking the lead on network performance, reliability, and futureproofing a large IoT environment.

  • Supporting and maintaining 18+ Layer 3 switches across on-site and data centre locations.

  • Managing and optimising LAN/WAN and NOC infrastructure with a particular focus on upload scheduling and time-sensitive data traffic.

  • Planning the transition to a hybrid cloud model-currently in testing-migrating from local data centres to cloud without compromising network security or device uptime.

  • Owning all things network: Disaster Recovery, Data Protection, Security Policies, and compliance.

  • Looking at ways to reduce costs and improve service performance, e.g., line procurement and provider negotiation.

  • Supporting colleagues with Active Directory, Intune device management, and contributing to documentation, IT security, and general infrastructure support in a tight-knit team.


What KO2's client are Looking For:



  • Deep expertise in networking in complex, high-traffic environments, ideally in IoT or electronics-heavy organisations.

  • Strong background in datacentre environments, ideally with experience in large ISPs or similar.

  • Hands-on experience managing and optimising LAN/WAN networks and Layer 3 switching.

  • Experience or strong interest in hybrid cloud transitions from legacy infrastructure.

  • Understanding of security and compliance, with a pragmatic approach to maintaining uptime and resilience.

  • Ability to work autonomously and own the entire networking estate.

  • Familiarity with supporting wider infrastructure tools and platforms such as Intune, AD, and endpoint management.


Package:



  • £55,000 - £60,000 salary

  • Bonus up to 15%

  • Private medical (with option to upgrade to family)

  • 5% pension matched

  • Dental and optical cover


Why Join KO2's client?



  • Take ownership of a large-scale, business-critical network

  • Be the go-to expert in a company where networking is both a priority and a challenge

  • Play a key role in shaping the future of the network as the business moves towards cloud

  • Enjoy a supportive team, where your expertise is highly valued and your impact is visible


This is a rare opportunity to own and evolve the networking backbone of a thriving IoT company. If you're someone who thrives in complex environments, has a passion for network infrastructure, and wants to be part of shaping the next of a critical platform-we'd love to hear from you.
