We’re recruiting for a Network Engineer

To join a specialist networking business that is continuing to grow following a strong period of project wins.

This is a good opportunity for someone who already has a solid networking foundation and wants to move further into hands-on project delivery, implementation and customer environments.

You’ll be involved in:

  • Network implementation and project delivery
  • LAN, WAN and wireless environments
  • Routing and switching
  • Network upgrades and migrations
  • Configuring and deploying network equipment
  • Cisco and multi-vendor networking
  • SD-WAN environments
  • Network troubleshooting and technical escalation
  • Testing and validation
  • Customer cutovers
  • Supporting live customer environments
  • Working alongside senior engineers on larger projects
  • Producing technical and project documentation
  • Taking increasing ownership as you develop

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

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.

What I’m Looking For

I’d be keen to speak with people coming from backgrounds such as:

  • Network Engineer
  • Network Support Engineer
  • Network Infrastructure Engineer
  • Network Project Engineer
  • Network Implementation Engineer
  • 2nd / 3rd Line Network Engineer
  • NOC Engineer looking for more project exposure

Project experience is also important, whether that has been through:

  • Network rollouts
  • Switch upgrades
  • Wireless deployments
  • SD-WAN
  • Customer migrations
  • Site cutovers
  • Hardware refreshes
  • LAN / WAN projects

You do not need to be a finished senior engineer.

This business has a strong track record of developing engineers who have the right fundamentals and want to progress technically.

The Opportunity

  • £40,000 to £60,000 basic salary
  • Hybrid working
  • Salford based
  • Strong pipeline of network project work
  • Mix of support and project delivery
  • Broad multi-vendor exposure
  • Hands-on engineering environment
  • Structured technical development
  • Certification support
  • Opportunity to progress towards Senior Network Engineering
  • Exposure to experienced engineers and architects

If you’re currently spending too much time in BAU support and want more exposure to implementation, migrations and proper network project delivery, I’d be interested in speaking.
