Overview
We are supporting a public sector programme focused on building ESM (Enterprise Service Management) capability and delivering/operating critical network services, including a mobile network environment supporting emergency services locations.
The environment is heavily centred around on-premises data centres and requires strong, hands‑on network leadership. This is a contract‑only engagement (the client does not offer permanent positions to contractors).
Role Summary
You will join a large network team providing technical direction and delivery oversight across on-prem data centre networking and associated secure connectivity.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead and support a team of network engineers delivering secure network services for a public sector programme.
- Contribute to the design, build, and improvement of on-prem data centre network infrastructure.
- Support delivery of a mobile network capability aligned to operational sites (including emergency services locations).
- Drive strong technical standards: documentation, troubleshooting, implementation planning, and operational readiness.
- Provide hands‑on technical input (this is not a “powerpoint-only” lead role).
- Support stakeholder engagement across technical teams and delivery functions as needed.
Required Skills & Experience
- Active Clearance (mandatory).
- Strong track record working within secure / public sector network environments.
- Proven experience with on-prem data centre networking (design/build/operate).

- Comfortable operating in environments where teams expect you to be technically strong and credible under pressure.
- Able to travel to multiple UK sites on an as‑needed basis (London + DC locations).
Nice to Have

- Experience with ESM-aligned programmes (building or integrating service management capability).
