About The Role
As a Senior Network Tooling Engineer, you’ll shape and enhance the monitoring, alerting, and automation capabilities that underpin critical HMRC network services. You’ll play a key role in evolving tooling and lab environments - driving efficiency, resolving complex incidents, and collaborating with a wide range of technical stakeholders to deliver continuous improvements.

- Configure, deploy, and manage virtualised environments (including VMware vCenter), driving stability, scalability, and effective troubleshooting across complex systems.
- Bring network simulations to life using virtualisation tools such as EVE-NG or CML to support testing, innovation, and continuous improvement.
- Lead technical investigations and provide expert oversight on changes, ensuring quality, minimising risk, and enabling smooth transition of new services into live support.
- Collaborate closely with HMRC and supplier teams to drive continual service improvement while ensuring alignment with BT and HMRC standards, policies, and best practice.
