Role: Technical Architect

We're looking for a Technical Architect to join a major organisation that keeps essential services ticking across the UK. This is your chance to take charge of complex, multi-site network architecture-shaping how systems connect, communicate, and scale.

The environment is enterprise-level, the challenges are real, and the work you do will have a direct impact on thousands of users across the business.

What You'll Do:

  • Design secure, scalable IT network architectures to meet evolving business needs
  • Lead network projects from concept to delivery, working cross-functionally with tech teams
  • Recommend strategic infrastructure decisions on hardware, software, and network tooling
  • Improve performance and reliability through ongoing analysis and innovation
  • Collaborate with cyber and infrastructure teams to embed network security best practices
  • Troubleshoot complex issues and provide hands-on support where needed
  • Stay ahead of the curve on new technologies and drive continuous improvement

What You'll Bring:

  • At least 3 years of experience designing and delivering enterprise network solutions
  • Strong knowledge of IP networking, routing, switching, VLANs, and firewalls
  • Hands-on experience in hybrid on-prem/cloud environments
  • Familiarity with network monitoring, wireless networks, VPNs, and IDS/IPS
  • Certifications like CCNA or CCNP (CCIE = major bonus points)
  • Excellent communicator, capable of translating tech into business value

🎓 Degree in IT, Computer Science, or a similar field is essential
🎯 Bonus if you've worked in regulated or high-availability environments

Why You Should Apply:

Because you're after more than BAU. You want to be involved in the design, the decisions, and the future of a large IT network-without being buried in red tape. This is a role where your expertise is trusted, your voice is heard, and your growth is backed.

Contact Lewis Allen to find out more.

Please apply with a CV and a cover letter outlining why you're perfect for the role.
