Network Security Engineer

We're recruiting for a Senior Network Security Engineer to join a specialist networking and security business that is continuing to grow following a strong period of project wins.

This is a good opportunity for someone who wants to stay technically hands‑on while taking more ownership across security design, implementation and project delivery
.

The role sits at the intersection of networking and security
, with responsibility for taking customer solutions from requirements and design through implementation, testing and ongoing technical ownership.

• Designing and implementing network security solutions
• Leading technical projects from requirements through delivery
• Producing security designs and implementation plans
• Firewall deployments, migrations and upgrades
• SD‑WAN, SASE and ZTNA projects
• VPN and secure remote‑access solutions
• Security audits and technical health checks
• Supporting and improving existing customer environments
• Acting as a senior technical escalation point
• Working directly with customers and technical stakeholders
• Mentoring and supporting developing engineers

Experience across some of the following would be particularly relevant:

• Fortinet / Forti Gate
• SD‑WAN
• SASE
• ZTNA
• Firewalls / UTM
• VPN
• SAML / MFA
• SIEM
• SOAR
• XDR
• LAN / WAN
• Routing and switching
• Network security architecture

You do not need to tick every technology listed.

I’d be keen to speak with people coming from backgrounds such as:

• Senior Network Security Engineer
• Network Security Consultant
• Network & Security Engineer
• Infrastructure & Security Engineer
• Firewall / Security Engineer
• Senior Network Engineer with strong security exposure

The strongest profiles will combine solid networking fundamentals with genuine security design and implementation experience
.

Fortinet experience is particularly useful, especially around Forti Gate, SD‑WAN, SASE or ZTNA
.

Experience producing technical designs, leading implementations and taking ownership of customer projects will be equally important.

• £50,000 to £67,500 basic salary
• Strong pipeline of project work
• Mix of design, implementation and technical ownership
• Broad networking and security exposure
• Opportunity to develop towards architecture
• Continued technical and certification development

If you’re currently spending too much time in BAU and want to get back into proper engineering, design and project delivery
, I’d be interested in speaking.
