Description
Wanstor is an award-winning Managed IT Services provider helping ambitious organisations use technology to achieve better business outcomes — securely, efficiently, and at scale. Established in 2002, we deliver end-to-end technology services spanning managed IT support, cloud, infrastructure, networking, security, communications, and AI adoption services.
This is a brilliant opportunity for a Senior Network Engineer who wants more than a traditional MSP engineering role.
You’ll join Wanstor as part of a small, dedicated IT team supporting one of our key customers, spending three days a week on-site at their offices in The Shard. It’s an impressive environment to work in, but more importantly, the role gives you the chance to get genuinely close to the customer, understand their technology estate and have real ownership over how their network evolves.
Rather than moving between customers or simply picking up tickets, you’ll become a trusted technical presence within the customer, taking ownership of complex networking issues, improvements and projects. You’ll work across BAU and project activity, helping to design, implement and improve their network environment while spotting opportunities to make things more resilient, secure and effective.
You’ll still have the backing, expertise and wider technical community of Wanstor behind you, but with the autonomy and ownership that comes from being embedded with a customer.
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.
It’s a great fit for someone who enjoys being hands-on technically but also wants visibility, responsibility and influence — someone comfortable speaking directly with stakeholders, taking a problem away and owning it through to resolution, and playing a leading role in network projects rather than simply being handed individual tasks.
What You'll Do
- Own, support and continually improve a Fortinet-led network environment
- Take the technical lead on network projects, from initial requirements and design through to implementation and handover
- Configure, manage and troubleshoot FortiGate firewalls, including policies, VPNs, routing, security profiles and connectivity
- Work across LAN, WAN, Wi-Fi, SD-WAN, switching, routing and firewalling
- Lead complex troubleshooting and resolve network issues that require deeper technical investigation
- Identify weaknesses, risks and opportunities for improvement across the network estate
- Work directly with customer stakeholders, translating technical issues and recommendations into clear, practical advice
- Own technical changes and ensure they're properly planned, tested, documented and communicated
- Produce and maintain network documentation, diagrams, configurations and technical standards
- Support network upgrades, migrations, refreshes and wider infrastructure projects
- Work alongside Wanstor's wider technical teams and third parties where projects cross networking, cloud, security or infrastructure
