This is a hands-on, client-facing role - ideal for someone who enjoys owning solutions end-to-end, from discovery and design through to delivery and optimisation. You'll work closely with technical teams, stakeholders, and pre-sales functions to design scalable, secure, and high-performing network environments.

- Collaborate with stakeholders to gather requirements and translate business needs into technical solutions
- Support pre-sales activities, including solution design, client presentations, and proposals
- Develop proof of concepts (PoCs) and contribute to cost estimation and project planning
- Ensure solutions are aligned to best practice across security, resilience, and scalability
- Plan and execute network changes and migrations during scheduled maintenance windows, including evenings/overnight as required
About You
- Essential: Hands-on Fortinet experience (FortiGate firewalls, FortiManager/FortiAnalyzer, or broader Fortinet Security Fabric)
- Proven experience as a Network Architect / Senior Network Consultant within an MSP, integrator, or consulting environment
- Strong background in designing and delivering complex network solutions across enterprise environments
- Experience producing HLDs, LLDs, and technical documentation
- Comfortable working across multiple projects and stakeholders simultaneously
- Strong client-facing skills with the ability to translate technical concepts into business outcomes
- Experience supporting or contributing to pre-sales and solution design activities
- Willingness to work occasional after-hours/overnight shifts for scheduled migrations and change windows
Technical Environment
- Fortinet (essential)
- Enterprise networking (routing, switching, WAN, LAN)
- Network security (firewalls, segmentation, secure access)
- Hybrid and cloud-integrated networking
- SD-WAN and modern network architectures
- Multi-vendor environments (e.g. Cisco, Juniper, etc. - desirable but secondary to Fortinet)
