Farnborough, Hampshire - Office-Based Initially, With Hybrid Working Available After Six Months

Are you an experienced Wireless Network Engineer with a background in Wi‑Fi surveying, design and troubleshooting, looking to take technical ownership within a growing network team?

This is an excellent opportunity to join an award-winning connectivity provider that has been recognised as a Great Place to Work for five consecutive years. You will work with modern wireless technologies across complex customer environments while benefiting from extensive training, varied projects and an outstanding benefits package.

In this role, you will act as the senior escalation point within a fast-paced NOC while also delivering professional services across customer sites. You will survey, design, deploy and optimise enterprise wireless networks, resolve complex incidents and help develop the technical capability of more junior engineers.

The position offers genuine variety between NOC support, wireless consultancy and project delivery. You could be troubleshooting a complex Wi‑Fi issue remotely, producing an Ekahau survey and network design, or attending a customer site to support an installation, upgrade or migration.

Candidates at the top end of the salary range will ideally be capable of independently delivering wireless surveys and designs, leading complex incident resolution and providing technical guidance to customers and colleagues.

The Role:

• Act as the senior escalation point for complex network and wireless incidents


• Survey, design, deploy and optimise enterprise Wi‑Fi solutions


• Produce heatmaps, survey reports, network designs and technical documentation


• Deliver customer projects including installations, upgrades and migrations


• Mentor junior engineers and support routing, switching and wider network infrastructure

The Person:

• Strong commercial experience surveying, designing and troubleshooting enterprise Wi‑Fi


• Experience with Ekahau or another recognised wireless survey platform


• Exposure to Aruba, Ruckus, Meraki, Cambium, Siklu or similar technologies


• CCNA-level networking knowledge, with a current certification strongly preferred


• Previous NOC or MSP experience with strong customer-facing communication skills

Applicants must be able to commute to Farnborough five days per week for the first six months and travel to customer sites when required. Full UK right to work and at least five years’ continuous UK residency are also required.
