Junior Network Engineer

Junior Network Engineer (CABLING work in the Field) - Outside IR35 - Remote/Travel - £300/day

We need a practical, hands-on Cisco Network Engineer (Juniorlevel) who is strong in the physical layer (cabling, cabinet layout, presentation) and has an understanding of the logical layer (Cisco switching & routing).

*practical, hands-on experience working in cabinets, racking switches and cabling*

The position is hands on and physical. We’re looking for someone who’s happy getting stuck into cabinet work, cabling, tidying up infrastructure, and doing on-site upgrades rather than someone focused on high level firewall and security work. It’s a role that would suit someone more junior who’s keen to build their experience in that physical side of networking.

We are interested in candidates who have a cabling / physical infrastructure background and are now looking to expand their skillset into Cisco switching. The ideal person takes genuine pride in both technical delivery and the visual/professional presentation of their work. They will be comfortable working alone or within a team on our sites, enjoy variety and travel, and understand the importance of minimising disruption in live operational environments.

Essential Criteria

• Hands on experience with Cisco switching and routing (ideally CCNA level).
• Experience upgrading network switches in production or field environments.
• Practical experience with network cabinets, structured cabling and physical infrastructure (ability to tidy, reorganise and professionally present racks is essential).
• Willingness and flexibility to travel extensively across the UK & Europe, including frequent overnight stays and out of hours working.
• Full UK driving licence + valid passport.
• Right to work in the UK without sponsorship.
• Self-motivated, able to work independently and a team on sites and represent the team and company professionally.
