Job description

This is enterprise network engineering with a difference: the network you design gets packed into transit cases and stood up somewhere it has never been before. The role supports the deployable communications capability behind a NATO mission — designing it, integrating it, testing it, and being there when it is switched on for real.

What You Would Be Doing

• Design, configure and integrate enterprise network infrastructure for deployable communications kits.
• Take builds through test, validation and deployment, including support to exercises and implementation projects.
• Support production deployments and the operational network once it is live, at engineering level.
• Produce implementation procedures, test plans, standard operating procedures and technical documentation.
• Maintain configuration management records so the estate is actually knowable.
• Work alongside the platform, security and service management teams, and report monthly on performance.

What you would bring

• A degree in a computing, engineering or telecommunications discipline with at least two years of relevant experience — or five years of strong practical experience in its place.
• Five years or more of progressive network engineering: design, implementation, configuration, integration, deployment and support.
• Experience delivering inside operational or project environments, not only in a lab.
• A track record of writing documentation that other engineers can follow.
• Professional English, spoken and written.

The work is on site in Brunssum, in normal office hours, with occasional planned night work for change windows and roughly one trip a month to other European locations.
