• Support Microsoft 365, Intune, VMware, Veeam
• Work across multiple sites with genuine autonomy and trust

What You Need

• CCNP (or CCNP-level experience)
• Strong L2/L3 networking — VLANs, OSPF, STP, LACP
• Solid Cisco experience (Catalyst or similar)
• Firewall experience (Fortinet, Cisco, or equivalent)
• Comfortable with cabinet work, patching, and physical installs
• Full UK driving licence

The Setup

• Hours: 08:30 – 17:00, Monday to Friday
