What You'll Do

• Own end-to-end delivery of all network and security implementations across the practice
  

• Lead a team of L1 and L2 network engineers and grow the team as the practice scales

• Design and review Low-Level Designs (LLDs) from solution-architect HLDs, typically within 5 working days of customer workshops
  

• Take handover from the presales / solution-architect team during internal and external project kickoffs
  

• Plan resources across multiple concurrent customer projects, sequencing work around customer readiness (cabling, terminations, site access)
  

• Drive on-site customer workshops, planning sessions, and design conversations as the senior point of contact
  

• Build automation — scripts, templated configurations, deployment playbooks — to scale repeatable deployments (e.g. 50-switch rollouts)
  

• Conduct post-implementation customer reviews and obtain formal signoff on delivered scope
