Senior Network Security Consultant

The opportunity
If you’re already working at a senior level within network security and want a role where you can take genuine technical ownership of customer environments, this is worth a look.
We’re working with a growing specialist network and connectivity business that designs, builds and supports complex network environments for large organisations across the UK. Due to continued growth, they’re looking to add a Senior Network Security Consultant to the team.
This is much more than a 3rd line support position. You’ll take projects from initial customer requirements and solution design through to implementation, documentation and ongoing technical ownership.
You’ll work closely with customers and the commercial team at the pre-sales stage, gathering requirements, designing solutions and presenting those back to the customer before taking the technical lead through delivery.
It’s a genuinely hands-on consultancy position, but one where you’ll have much more ownership around architecture, customer strategy and technical direction.
There’s a strong investment in technical development too, with relevant professional qualifications and certifications funded as part of the role.
Day to day
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 be designing, implementing and supporting network security solutions across complex customer environments.
That will include enterprise firewalls, LAN/WAN, VPNs, SD-WAN, ZTNA, SASE, authentication and wider network security technologies, alongside maintaining a strong understanding of routing, switching and networking fundamentals.
You’ll lead technical projects throughout their lifecycle, producing detailed designs and implementation plans before taking responsibility for successful delivery.
There’s also an increasing focus on modern security operations, so exposure to areas such as SIEM, SOAR and XDR would be useful.
Beyond project delivery, you’ll act as a senior technical escalation point, carry out customer security audits and health checks, make recommendations around improving existing environments and provide ongoing technical ownership for nominated customers.
You’ll also help develop other engineers within the team through technical mentoring, knowledge sharing and internal training.
The environments are business-critical, so there is an out-of-hours/on-call element to the role alongside occasional planned maintenance.
Who we are looking for
You could currently be a Senior Network Security Engineer, Network Security Consultant, Senior Network & Security Engineer or already operating at Network Security Architect level.
The important thing is that you’ve moved beyond simply supporting network environments. You’ll have experience designing solutions, leading implementations and taking technical ownership of customer projects.
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
We’re looking for strong networking fundamentals alongside detailed experience across enterprise firewalls, LAN/WAN, VPN, SD-WAN and modern network security architecture.
Experience within an MSP, ISP, network integrator or consultancy would translate particularly well, particularly if you’re used to working across multiple customers and complex environments.
You’ll need to be comfortable gathering requirements, producing technical designs, presenting solutions to customers and then remaining involved through implementation and ongoing support.
Experience around security compliance frameworks and public-sector environments would be useful, as would exposure to SIEM, SOAR, XDR and infrastructure automation.
More than anything, they want somebody who can take technical ownership. Someone who can get into the detail when needed, communicate confidently with customers and be the person other engineers turn to when things get complicated.
The Next Steps
If you’re already working within network security but feel like your current role has become too support-heavy, this is an opportunity to move further into design, consultancy and technical ownership without moving away from the hands-on technology.
The role can be based remotely, with occasional travel when needed for customer projects and meetings.
If this sounds like the sort of move you’ve been looking for, drop me a message or contact Joe White at CRG TEC for a confidential chat about the role.
You have to have to be based and have a valid RTW within the UK for this role.
