Nationwide (regular & reactive travel to client sites required) We're recruiting a highly capable Field Operations Engineer for a 6-month assignment supporting technical deployments and on-site IT operations across multiple UK locations. This is a hands-on, field-based role ideal for someone who thrives on variety, problem-solving and delivering robust infrastructure solutions in fast-moving environments.
The Role You'll be the technical backbone of field operations-deploying, maintaining, and optimising IT infrastructure across sites nationwide. Working closely with network engineers, contractors, and local teams, you'll ensure equipment is installed correctly, systems stay stable, and users receive high-quality support.
Key Responsibilities Deploy, install, and maintain IT and network infrastructure across multiple locations, including switches, firewalls, servers, structured cabling and workstation environments. Rack, cable, configure and troubleshoot network and endpoint hardware, ensuring secure, reliable, and high-performing services. Support firewall implementations, switch deployments, network connectivity and workstation rollouts in collaboration with network engineers and project teams. Monitor, maintain and upgrade infrastructure including LAN/WAN networks, wireless solutions, PDUs, UPS systems, cooling equipment and communications cabinets.
Provide hands-on technical support for desktops, laptops, printers, scanners, biometric devices, kiosks, mobile devices and other business-critical technology. Manage operating system installations, security patching, user accounts, permissions, endpoint management and surveillance systems. Travel to sites across the UK (and occasionally internationally) to support infrastructure deployments, upgrades, maintenance and technical projects. Manage the procurement, inventory, and lifecycle of IT infrastructure and end-user equipment, ensuring accurate asset records and timely delivery.
Coordinate with vendors, contractors and service providers to ensure installations, maintenance activities and projects meet required specifications and standards. Participate in audits, identify risks, escalate incidents appropriately and contribute to continuous improvement of infrastructure and support services. Required Skills & Experience Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Technology or equivalent technical training. 2 years' experience in IT infrastructure, field engineering, network support or similar technical roles.
Strong hands-on experience with switch, firewall, server and workstation deployments. Proven experience installing, cabling and troubleshooting network infrastructure within enterprise or multi-site environments. Working knowledge of Layer 2/Layer 3 networking concepts, VLANs, TCP/IP, DHCP, DNS and network security principles.
Experience with network switches and firewalls (Cisco, Aruba, Fortinet, Sophos, Meraki or similar). VMware or other virtualisation platform experience (required). Microsoft Active Directory administration experience (required). Knowledge of Linux (RHEL/Debian), Windows Server, Windows 11, macOS, Power Shell and Bash scripting. Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills. Strong analytical, troubleshooting and problem-solving capabilities. Comfortable working independently across multiple locations and within international, multicultural environments.
