Senior Technical Consultant - Fortinet vacancy in Hybrid (80% Remote 20% South East) (114lw)

Region:
London and South East, Remote/Home working

We’re working with a high-performing, mid-sized network and cybersecurity consultancy delivering complex, high-value projects across enterprise and regulated environments. Due to continued growth, we are looking for a Senior Technical Consultant with deep expertise in Fortinet technologies, alongside working knowledge of Palo Alto Networks. This is a hands-on, customer-facing role where you will lead from the front – owning design, delivery, and customer engagement end-to-end.

It is not a step-up role; you’ll be expected to hit the ground running as a senior consultant.

You’ll work closely with customers from initial engagement through to implementation, acting as a trusted technical advisor on complex network and security projects.

• Leading technical workshops and design sessions
• Translating business and technical requirements into HLDs and LLDs
• Delivering end-to-end Fortinet-based solutions
• Supporting proof of concepts (PoCs) and solution validation
• Acting as the technical lead on customer engagements
• Producing high-quality documentation (designs, migration plans, handover docs)
• Providing hands‑on implementation and troubleshooting

• Strong, hands‑on experience across the Fortinet ecosystem:
  Forti Gate, Forti Switch, management & analytics tools
• Experience with Palo Alto Technologies and secure network design
• Proven delivery across the full lifecycle – Design → Implementation → Troubleshooting
• Knowledge of Palo Alto firewalls
• Certifications such as NSE7 / PCNSE are not mandatory – however, you should be operating at an equivalent level

• Experience working directly with external customers
• Ability to lead workshops, challenge and guide clients, and communicate complex solutions
• Comfortable operating in high-expectation environments (enterprise, regulated sectors)

• Calm, credible, and professional presence with customers
• Strong communication and listening skills
• Ability to build trust quickly and act as a “safe pair of hands”
• Confident enough to challenge, but pragmatic in approach

We’re looking for someone who can combine technical depth with strong presence. If you’re transitioning from the Armed Forces, this role could be a strong fit if you have experience in network engineering, CIS, or cyber roles.

You’ll likely succeed if you:

• Have moved into (or are ready for) a customer-facing / consulting role
• Can demonstrate ownership of design and delivery, not just support
• Security clearance (SC/DV) is a strong advantage but not essential.
