Known for your ability to question and influence, you'll bring new ideas and present designs that are good practice, fit for purpose, to specified standards and consistent with the organisational ICT strategy and architecture.


Your CV and cover letter will demonstrate

  • CCNP, CCDP and/or CCIE certification and relevant experience including demonstrated experience in systems design and development.
  • Sound understanding of all aspects of ICT service design, delivery, and operations.
  • Extensive design knowledge of network services based on an indepth technical background
