IP Network Engineer — live broadcast & events, up to £70,000, Shepherd’s Bush
Up to £70,000 | Shepherd’s Bush, West London | 5 days onsite
Our client is a fast-moving broadcast technology business that puts live television on screen for some of the biggest events in sport and beyond. A small, highly capable team of five built the network at pace — and now there’s 18 months of exciting projects lined up. They need a Network Engineer to join them, lead on design and deployment, and upskill the team around them.
This is not a support role. If your background is predominantly reactive and ticket-driven, this isn’t the right fit. They want someone who plans, designs, deploys, and then teaches — a confident engineer who can muck in across wider infrastructure and thrive in a fast-paced, high-stakes live environment.
WHAT YOU’LL BE DOING
- Plan, design, and deploy network infrastructure across a live broadcast and events environment
- Take ownership of Layer 3 network architecture and multicast routing
- Upskill and develop the wider team — you’re a technical leader, not just a contributor
- Get involved in wider infrastructure beyond pure networking — this team needs people who’ll pitch in
- Support live events on an on-call basis — the network underpins live TV transmission
- Contribute to a packed project pipeline across the next 18 months
- Work with Cisco Nexus 9K and Catalyst 9K switching platforms, WatchGuard firewalls, and Netgear
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.
TECH STACK
- Cisco Nexus 9K (9508 chassis — ST 2110 fabric)
- Cisco Catalyst 9K
- Layer 3 networking & multicast (core requirement)
- WatchGuard Firewalls
- Netgear
- SMPTE ST 2110 (training provided — strong IP engineers welcomed)
WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR
- Strong Layer 3 networking and multicast experience — this is the technical core of the role
- Design and deployment background — you build things, you don’t just maintain them
- Confident with the presence to lead and teach — you’ll be upskilling colleagues, not just delivering yourself
- Comfortable across wider infrastructure, not just routing and switching
- ST 2110 experience is a bonus not a requirement — a brilliant IP engineer will be trained on broadcast specifics
- Able to work at pace in a live, high-pressure environment — broadcast waits for no one
- Happy to be onsite 5 days a week — the environment demands it and the team is all in together
- Available for on-call during live events
