About the role
University of Staffordshire has embarked on an ambitious and unique transformation in the Higher Education sector where we strive to become the UK’s leading Digital University. To help deliver this, we’re looking for a talented Network Engineer, a technical role supporting the design and delivery of wired and wireless network services across the University, to join our Network & Infrastructure Team.
Main Responsibilities
The main responsibilities for our Network Engineer will be:
Configuring and installing Cisco network equipment, using industry standards and best practices.
Supporting migrations to a Software Defined Networking architecture.
Using Catalyst Centre platform to monitor all devices and services to ensure that they are working correctly.
Port patching, audits and updating of central records.
Providing second line support for Incidents, Service Requests and Problems that arrive from our service desk.
Supporting projects and providing network support within Digital Services and wider university transformation projects.
Providing advice and support across teams, escalating in a timely manner as required.
Troubleshooting and resolution of wired and wireless performance issues, connectivity to the university’s secure network, Cloud, and Internet services.
Assisting with FMC and ISE administration.
Supporting the Digital Transformation Strategy and the university’s 2030 Strategic Plan, some of the ventures that the Network Engineer will help to support from a technical perspective include a new student accommodation village, enhancements to network security in line with our cyber security roadmap and a robust hardware replacement programme. We are also working towards a software defined networking infrastructure, intelligent buildings, and automation and programmability to deliver innovative solutions that reduce day to day administration tasks; some knowledge in these areas being relevant to the Grade 5 Network Engineer role.
This is a great opportunity for an entry level Network Engineer with knowledge of and experience in Cisco technologies.
