This hands‑on technical role has real impact and helps protect the integrity of Vodafone’s UK network while enabling lawful access obligations to be met safely and reliably.
- Lead integration activities between highly specialised compliance platforms and Vodafone’s UK mobile network, including Ericsson core network components, IP infrastructure, and supporting IT systems.
- Act as a trusted technical authority, shaping integration design, configuration and validation.
- Work closely with architecture and design leads to ensure all integrations align with security, operational and regulatory requirements.
- Collaborate day‑to‑day with Ericsson and other trusted third‑party vendors, helping to align systems, interfaces, data flows and operational behaviours.
- Act as a senior escalation point for complex incidents, leading investigations across network, platform and integration domains and driving issues through to resolution.
- Support planned changes, upgrades and enhancements, ensuring stability, auditability and security before, during and after change windows.
- Mentor and support junior engineers, sharing your knowledge through hands‑on guidance, documentation and learning pathways.

- Complex systems integration across network and IT estates.
- Strong experience integrating systems across multiple technical domains, with a solid understanding of interfaces, data flows, protocols and dependencies.
- Background working in large‑scale telecommunications or similarly complex, networked environments; experience with Ericsson technologies is a plus.
