Senior Network Engineer | (Cisco Meraki / Azure Networking)

£80,000 +20% Bonus

London - 4 days a week in office (1 day flexible)

Cisco Meraki, Azure Networking, VPN/SD-WAN, Network Security

Here at Burns Sheehan, we’re working with a premium London-based workspace provider with a large multi-site estate and a major technology programme running across their buildings and cloud platform.

They’re looking for a Senior Network Engineer to take full solo-ownership of their network estate, covering over 60+ buildings across London (and growing). This is a hands-on senior role and will suit someone who wants genuine ownership in a complex, constantly changing environment.

The role is 80% project-based, focused on network architecture, delivery, and security improvements, with the remaining 20% covering ongoing network management and optimisation.

What You’ll Be Doing:

Owning the full Cisco Meraki estate across 60+ London sites (end-to-end responsibility)
Designing and implementing improvements across a software-defined network using internet connectivity
Connecting buildings securely into a Microsoft Azure platform (Azure networking focus is essential)
Leading technical delivery across performance optimisation, resilience, and design upgrades
Implementing cyber security requirements, working closely with internal security teams
Acting as the technical escalation point and liaising with external vendors / service providers
Producing and maintaining network documentation, standards, and diagrams

What They’re Looking For:

Multi-site Experience with experience owning and operating networks across the estate.
Hands-on expertise with Cisco Meraki (design, deployment, troubleshooting)
Azure, ideally Azure networking experience (VNets, NSGs, VPN Gateway, Firewall, Virtual WAN)
Deep knowledge of networking fundamentals: IP, routing, segmentation, VPNs / SD-WAN
A security-first mindset (comfortable designing solutions that meet modern cyber requirements)
Confident working independently as the primary technical owner in this area

If you’re interested in a role where you’ll genuinely own a complex multi-site network, lead major projects, and work closely with cyber security on modern access patterns (beyond point-to-point VPNs), drop me a message and I’ll share more.
