Salary: $$ Competitve Daily Rates $$

On behalf of our large multinational client, we offer a great opportunity for a Senior Network Engineer to take the lead on a project to overhauling its network from a site-led setup to a standards-based, globally governed model.

  • Solid routing/switching fundamentals: OSPF, BGP, VRFs
  • Aruba wireless, HPE Aruba and Cisco switching
  • Comfort working with ambiguity in a low-documentation environment

  • VXLAN
  • MSTP/OT switching
