The Opportunity
This isn’t a contract where you’ll simply be keeping the lights on, it is in fact a nice blend. You’ll join a large organisation with a modern, cloud-first infrastructure environment, taking ownership of critical network services while helping deliver technical change and ongoing improvements. The work will give you exposure to enterprise Cisco networking, SD-WAN, Azure, network security and modern data centre technologies.
You’ll balance hands-on troubleshooting and operational support with project delivery, network improvements and automation.
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.
Recent, hands-on Cisco Viptela SD-WAN experience is essential. Experience limited to Cisco Meraki SD-WAN will not be sufficient.
The Role
Working within an established infrastructure function, you will:
- Maintain the stability, performance and security of network services.
- Investigate and resolve complex escalated incidents.
- Deliver technical changes and contribute to network projects.
- Work with architects, project managers and stakeholders to implement appropriate solutions.
- Identify opportunities to improve resilience, security and efficiency.
- Support vulnerability remediation and maintain technical documentation.
- Contribute to developing network automation practices.
Skills and Experience
You’ll need experience operating independently within a large or technically complex network environment, combining BAU support with project delivery.

This is an opportunity to work across a varied enterprise network, taking ownership of live services while contributing to technical change, automation and ongoing service improvement.
