Network Manager

Location: London / International Field-Based

Work Model: Initial onsite presence, transitioning to a flexible Hybrid model (2/3 days)

Join an industry leader with over 30 years of heritage in delivering cutting‑edge Smart Technology to some of the world’s largest Super Yachts and most prestigious residential properties.

As a family‑run business that prizes organic growth and professional development, we are looking for a hands‑on Network Manager to lead our networking department. This is a "bridge" role where you will oversee two engineers while remaining deeply involved in the architecture and delivery of multi‑million‑pound international projects.

You won’t just be configuring hardware; you will be the architectural backbone of incredible vessels and estates. You will lead the gap between design and delivery, spending approximately 4-5 weeks a year traveling internationally to top shipyards and luxury sites to finalize, test, and hand over flawless systems.

• Design & Strategy: Consult on network architecture for elite, high‑stakes environments.
• Deployment: Configure and commission routing, switching, Wi‑Fi, firewalls, and WAN.
• Leadership: Manage and coach a team of engineers, setting the gold standard for technical quality.
• Client Interface: Act as the technical face of the company with owners’ reps, architects, and third‑party contractors.
• Quality Assurance: Own the final sign‑off, from fault‑finding to as‑built documentation.

• Certifications: CCNA is essential (CCNP or equivalent experience is highly desirable).
• Core Networking: Expert knowledge of VLANs, Trunking, STP, DHCP/DNS, and Routing (OSPF/BGP).
• Security & Wireless: High‑level firewall configuration (Cisco, Fortinet, etc.) and Enterprise Wi‑Fi deployment (Ekahau).
• Connectivity: Multi‑WAN/SD‑WAN solutions (Peplink, Celerway) and VSAT integration.
• Specialized Systems: Awareness of AV‑over‑IP (Multicast/IGMP) and physical layer experience (Fiber optics).

• Calm Under Pressure: You deliver perfection in high‑expectation, luxury environments.
• Travel Ready: Excited to work internationally, typically on a Monday–Friday field basis.
• Professional: Punctual, smart, and capable of representing the brand on high‑profile sites.
• Communication: Confident, client‑facing interpersonal skills in English.
• Overtime: Generally 5–10%, paid at 1.5x after 8 hours.
• Travel Perks: All accommodation paid + €40 per stay subsistence allowance.
• Holidays: 20 days + Bank Holidays + additional 3-4 days for Christmas closure.
• Future Growth: Clear path to building out and scaling the department.
