SD-WAN Engineer

If you’re the person people call when an SD-WAN rollout actually needs to work — not just look good on a slide — keep reading.

Our client is a market-leading communications and technology transformation partner, trusted by thousands of organisations to modernise how they connect, communicate, and operate. They don’t sell theory. They design and deploy real-world, enterprise-grade solutions at scale — across CCaaS, networking, cyber security, and unified communications.

Growth has been strong. Complexity is increasing. And they need a senior Fortinet SD-WAN engineer who can lead from the front.

This is not a “follow the runbook” role. This is ownership, architecture, and execution.

You’ll take the lead on designing and delivering Fortinet SD-WAN solutions across enterprise and service-provider environments — end to end.

• Owning SD-WAN architecture, design, and deployment from HLD to LLD
• Leading migrations from legacy WANs to modern, secure SD-WAN environments
• Configuring and optimising Forti Gate, Forti Manager, and Forti Analyzer
• Acting as the technical authority in front of customers and stakeholders
• Mentoring engineers and raising the technical bar across the team
• Troubleshooting complex, high-impact networking issues when it matters most
• Ensuring every deployment meets security, resilience, and best-practice standards

You’ll be given autonomy, trust, and access to serious projects — not micromanagement.

• 5+ years in network engineering
• 3+ years delivering Fortinet SD-WAN in production environments
• Deep hands‑on experience with Forti Gate, Forti Manager, Forti Analyzer
• Strong grounding in BGP, OSPF, MPLS, IPSec, QoS
