About the Role

Junior Network Engineer – Mostly Remote, 1 office day per month – Career Growth Role

Are you early in your networking career and looking for the right environment to accelerate your development?

We are working with a highly regarded, modern IT services and solutions organisation known for delivering complex infrastructure, cloud, and network projects across enterprise clients. They are investing in their next generation of network talent and are looking for a Junior Network Engineer to join their growing technical team.

This role is ideal for someone with solid networking fundamentals who wants hands-on exposure, structured development, and the opportunity to grow into a fully fledged Network Engineer.

Engineers from data centre / infrastructure environments who are hardware and networking focused (rather than software support focused) are also strongly encouraged to apply.


The Role

You will work alongside experienced network engineers supporting, learning, and contributing to real client environments. The focus is development, exposure, and building strong technical foundations.

You’ll gain experience across:

  • Network support and troubleshooting

  • Routing & Switching fundamentals

  • Firewalls and network security concepts

  • Infrastructure and cloud-connected networks

  • Supporting project and BAU network activity

  • Learning from senior engineers within a structured environment


What They’re Looking For

  • 1–3 years in IT / Networking / Infrastructure role

  • Solid understanding of networking fundamentals (TCP/IP, VLANs, DNS, DHCP, routing basics)

  • Exposure to Cisco, Fortinet, Aruba, or similar technologies beneficial

  • CCNA (or working towards) highly desirable

  • Engineers from data centre / hardware / infrastructure backgrounds looking to move deeper into networking are welcome

  • Curious mindset and strong willingness to learn

  • Good communication and team collaboration skills


Why This Role?

  • Clear technical progression path → Network Engineer → Senior Engineer

  • Exposure to real enterprise client environments

  • Structured learning and development

  • Supportive, technically strong team

  • Modern IT / Cloud / Network environment

Apply

If you’re looking to build a long-term career in networking within a strong technical environment, we’d love to hear from you.

Apply with your CV today, or if you’d prefer an informal conversation before applying, feel free to reach out directly to discuss the role in more detail.
