About the Role
Immediate contract to work on a large Financial Services client to deliver a large Network Implementation project.
A major refresh and refurbishment programme underway in large office campus in London including a live trading floor and other critical business functions.
We are seeking three experienced Network Engineers to support design, implementation and delivery of campus network changes.
Key Responsibilities
- Demonstrable large enterprise experience (ideally Financial Services) - this is not a support-led role.
- Strong project delivery skills - planning, preparing and driving network workstreams.
- Ability to guide project managers through logical sequencing of network activity.
- Proactive in pushing other teams (cabling, AV, security, end user) for the information needed to deliver to plan.
- Comfortable producing and following templated, repeatable designs at scale.
- Project-based mindset - genuine out-of-the-box implementation experience rather than BAU fixing.
- Someone used to delivering kit, instructing others, and carrying out switch migrations and refreshes, not just troubleshooting.

Technical Requirements
- Strong routing and switching background, including experience deploying devices into a Data Centre and working with data centre-grade kit.
- Recent, hands-on experience deploying in a Network Campus environment specifically.
- User Wi-Fi experience, including the practical nuances of working alongside construction teams during deployment.
- Cisco Catalyst switches with strong Wi-Fi - Wireless Campus experience - this is a key differentiator for this role.
- Able to build to the standard expected in live operations, with security considered from the outset rather than bolted on.
Specifically:
- Cisco Catalyst switching - 6500, 4500 and 9410 platforms.
- Cisco wireless access points across multiple generations - 3800 series through to 9130 series.
- Cisco wireless controllers - 5520, 5508 and 9800 series.
- Cisco Catalyst Centre and Cisco Prime Infrastructure.
- Heavy use of BGP and Layer 3 routing domains in a campus context.

- Voice VLAN configuration to switchport level (no end-to-end voice engineering required)
- Load balancing (e.g. F5) although not a priority for this role.
Environment & Ways of Working
Regulated Environment
- Engineers must understand the operating norms of a highly regulated environment, in particular strict change control and the consequences of unauthorised actions on production. Banking experience is preferred but other regulatory/controlled environments are acceptable.
