We're looking for a Cisco Network Engineer to join a growing technology business based in Worcester.
This is a great opportunity for a Network Engineer with solid Cisco networking experience who wants to develop further across customer projects, enterprise networking, firewalls, wireless, and network security.
The role would suit someone who has built strong hands-on experience in network support, implementation, or project environments and is now looking for broader exposure across design, delivery, and complex customer networks.
The Role
You'll be involved in the implementation, support, and documentation of network infrastructure across LAN, WAN, wireless, and security technologies.
Working as part of an experienced technical team, you'll support customer projects, configure and troubleshoot network equipment, assist with installations, and help resolve technical issues across varied client environments.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
You'll also have the opportunity to build your skills across Cisco firewalls, VPNs, routing protocols, wireless, and enterprise networking technologies.
Key Responsibilities
- Configure and support Cisco routers, switches, firewalls, and VPNs
- Assist with the implementation of LAN, WAN, Wi-Fi, and security solutions

- Troubleshoot network issues across routing, switching, wireless, and security
- Produce clear technical documentation
- Work with senior engineers on network assessments, upgrades, and project delivery
