Full Job Description
An exciting opportunity has opened for a Junior Network Engineer to join a talented and expanding Westbridge team, supporting a rapidly growing tier one client base. The organisation builds, scales and improves network solutions that deliver for its clients, and this is a role where you can make a real impact from day one. The salary is up to £45,000 depending on experience, with hybrid working and three days per week in the office.
We are looking for someone with at least 18 months of experience in a support or tier two network environment, ideally with some coding or automation knowledge. You will bring strong switching knowledge and a solid understanding of VLANs, along with a genuine enthusiasm for learning and problem-solving.
On the technical side, you will need CCNA certification or equivalent knowledge, strong IP capabilities and a good grasp of routing. Your switching experience should cover VLANs, MPLS, Q-in-Q and Ethernet Ring Protection Protocol. On the automation front, experience with Python, SQL/PostgreSQL and SNMP is required, while NetConf experience is a bonus but not essential.
Day to day, you will provide customer support and help with new service provisioning, so strong written communication skills are important, along with the confidence to articulate faults and updates to clients via email and phone. Working knowledge of the ADVA FSP150 platform or experience with Ciena 5000 series routers would be a nice-to-have. In return, you will get real ownership from your first week, fast-paced growth with plenty of room to develop, and a collaborative, no-ego team where knowledge-sharing comes as standard.
Requirements:
- 18 months+ experience in a support or Tier 2 network environment, ideally with coding or automation knowledge
- CCNA (or equivalent knowledge) with strong IP capabilities and routing understanding
- Solid switching knowledge covering VLANs, MPLS, Q-in-Q and Ethernet Ring Protection Protocol
- Network automation experience with Python, SQL/PostgreSQL and SNMP
- Experience with day-to-day customer support and new service provisioning
- Strong written communication skills, confident articulating faults and updates to clients via email and phone
- Bonus: working knowledge of ADVA FSP150 platform or Ciena 5000 series routers
