Job summary
A recruitment agency is seeking a Lead Network Engineer to support major network projects for an enterprise-scale organization. This remote role involves leading technical initiatives and operating closely with the Network Architect. Candidates should have extensive experience with Cisco Meraki and a solid understanding of networking protocols. The salary ranges from £70,000 to £80,000 depending on experience. The organization values Neurodiversity and welcomes applications from all qualified individuals.
Qualifications
- Significant experience in senior-level network engineering or network architecture.
- Strong expertise with Cisco Meraki technologies.
- Experience supporting large, distributed network environments.
Responsibilities
- Lead major network projects for a complex network estate.
- Operate alongside the Network Architect on proof of concepts.
- Serve as the primary technical escalation point.
Skills
Would you like to lead major network projects, supporting multiple sites as part of a critical network modernisation?
You’ll join an enterprise scale organisation on a journey to modernise and future‑prove its complex network estate. We’re looking for a Lead Network Engineer to come in and help drive it.
You’ll be joining partway through this multi‑phase transformation, working hands‑on with Cisco Meraki technologies to support the delivery of a modern, secure, and scalable network across over 500 UK branches and offices.
This is not a people‑management role, it’s an opportunity to lead technically, acting as the architectural ‘go to’ for a knowledge transfer and serving as the primary technical escalation point for the business‑critical network estate.
You’ll operate alongside the existing Network Architect and play a key role in proof of concepts, pilot programmes, BAU transitions, and new initiatives like Zero Trust, NAC, and SD‑WAN.
If you’re a Lead Network Engineer ready to make the step into architecture or a hands‑on Network Architect looking to stay close to delivery, this could be the ideal role for you.
- Significant experience in senior‑level network engineering or network architecture
- Solid understanding of networking protocols like DHCP, TCP, and BGP
- Strong expertise with Cisco Meraki – design, rollout, and troubleshooting
- Experience producing high‑quality network documentation (HLD, LLD, Confluence)
- Familiarity with Zero Trust, SD‑WAN, or NAC principles
- Experience supporting large, distributed network environments (ideally multi‑site or retail)
The role is remote with a salary of £70,000–£80,000 depending on experience.
We are an equal opportunity recruitment company. This means we welcome applications from all suitably qualified people regardless of race, sex, disability, religion, sexual orientation or age.
We are particularly invested in Neurodiversity inclusion and offer reasonable adjustments in the interview process. Reasonable adjustments are changes that we can make in the interview process if your disability puts you at a disadvantage compared with others who are not disabled. If you would benefit from a reasonable adjustment in your interview process, please call or email one of our recruiters.
