T3 Network Engineer — Cisco & Fortinet specialist on a high-value managed services team
£45,000 | Hybrid | Solihull or Wakefield (3 days/week)
Our client is a well-established MSP with a dedicated platinum support team looking after their most strategic enterprise customers. They're hiring a T3 Network Engineer to join that team — handling the complex escalations, the difficult conversations, and the problems that need someone who really knows their stuff.
This isn't a service desk role. It's a senior technical seat on a team that supports high-value accounts where expectations are high and the technical bar matches it. Cisco and Fortinet are the primary stack. MSP background preferred but strong end-customer engineers will be considered.
WHAT YOU'LL BE DOING
- Own T3 escalations across a portfolio of high-value enterprise customers — connectivity and CPE focus, no voice
- Support and manage Cisco routing, switching, and Firepower firewall environments
- Support and manage Fortinet FortiGate and FortiSD-WAN deployments
- Work across secondary technologies including Meraki and Juniper where required
- Be the senior technical authority when things get complex — escalation stops with you
- Communicate confidently and clearly with senior customer stakeholders under pressure
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.

No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
TECH STACK
- Cisco — routing, switching, Firepower
- Fortinet — FortiGate, FortiSD-WAN
- Meraki | Juniper (secondary)
- Connectivity and CPE focus — no voice
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
- Solid T3 network engineering background — MSP environment strongly preferred
- Cisco routing and switching experience — CCNA level as a baseline (current cert not required)
- Hands-on Fortinet experience — FortiGate and FortiSD-WAN in a managed service environment
- Strong customer-facing communication skills — you're confident, clear, and calm under pressure
- Comfortable owning difficult situations with enterprise customers — this role requires resilience and professionalism
- End-customer background considered for candidates with strong technical depth

THE PACKAGE
- £45,000 base salary
- Hybrid: 3 days per week in either Solihull or Wakefield office
- Hours: 8:30–5:00 or 9:00–5:30 with 1 hour lunch
- 25 days annual leave + option to buy 5 more
- On-call coming into scope — paid separately at approximately £250/week when introduced
WHY THIS ROLE STANDS OUT
- Platinum team — you're supporting the most important accounts in the business, not the whole helpdesk queue
- Strong internal progression — promotions roughly every 18 months for the right people
- On-call not yet live — time to get settled before it's introduced, and well-compensated when it is
- Choice of office location — Solihull or Wakefield, whichever works for you
- Cisco and Fortinet depth — a stack that keeps your skills sharp and marketable
