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).
• Prior experience as a Team Lead/Technical Lead within a network function.
• 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 supporting large programmes with multiple sites/complex service delivery.
• Experience with ESM-aligned programmes (building or integrating service management capability).
