Role Overview

We are hiring a Level 2 Network Engineer to join our Managed Services team as a hands-on technical escalation point. You will handle incidents and problems escalated from Level 1 Support, troubleshoot complex network and firewall issues, support infrastructure changes and tech refresh projects, and contribute to a disciplined, documentation-driven operations culture.

This role demands proven, real-world troubleshooting experience – not just configuration knowledge. You should be able to diagnose and resolve routing, switching, wireless, and firewall issues under pressure, with a structured and methodical approach.

Key Responsibilities

Network Troubleshooting & Support
  • Troubleshoot and resolve IP services, routing, switching, firewall, wireless, and FTTx issues escalated from the NOC and Technical Support teams.
  • Diagnose connectivity issues affecting LAN/WAN, wireless, SD-WAN, and SASE environments, applying structured troubleshooting methodologies.
  • Engage vendor support (TAC cases, conference calls) and drive issues to resolution within SLA targets, including coordinating with L3 engineers where required.
  • Monitor network alerts, perform system diagnosis, and take corrective action proactively before customer impact.
  • Provide hardware and software break-fix support for business-critical systems across retail, hospitality, healthcare, government, and financial sector customers.
  • Troubleshoot issues reported by managed-service agents and deliver tech refresh projects for enterprise and government customers.
Network Infrastructure Management
  • Implement, administer, and troubleshoot network hardware including routers, switches, firewalls, and wireless access points across multi-vendor environments.
  • Support network upgrades such as OLT deployments, firmware upgrades, software patches, and configuration optimisations.
  • Perform firewall policy management and rule-set changes (Palo Alto, Fortinet, Cato).
  • Manage enterprise wireless networks (Cisco, Aruba, Ubiquiti/UniFi, Huawei).
  • Configure and troubleshoot switching and routing (Cisco, Aruba, Arista, Juniper, Huawei).
  • Support SD-WAN and SASE deployments (Huawei, Palo Alto Prisma, Cato Networks).
Service Management & Change Management
  • Handle escalated incidents and problem tickets in Jira Service Management, ensuring SLA compliance, accurate categorisation, and timely updates.
  • Review, plan, and implement network changes with proper risk assessment, approval workflows, and rollback procedures.
  • Validate infrastructure before and after maintenance windows; track and report incident resolutions and system performance.
  • Conduct root cause analysis (RCA) for recurring or major incidents, producing actionable findings and preventive recommendations.
Documentation & Process Discipline
  • Document all incident resolutions, problem investigations, configuration changes, and system changes in the knowledge base (Confluence) – this is not optional.
  • Create and maintain runbooks, standard operating procedures (SOPs), and troubleshooting guides for L1 support and peer engineers.
  • Maintain accurate network inventory, topology documentation, and technical specifications for all managed customer environments.
  • Contribute to knowledge-sharing sessions and provide mentoring to junior engineers.

Requirements

Experience (Mandatory)
  • Minimum 3 years of hands-on experience in network operations, troubleshooting, and maintenance – preferably in an ISP, managed services, or enterprise NOC environment.
  • Demonstrated real-world experience troubleshooting routing, switching, wireless, and firewall issues in production environments. We will assess this during the interview with scenario-based questions.
  • Experience working in a 24/7 or on-call managed services environment with SLA-driven mincident response.
Technical Skills (Mandatory)
  • Strong working knowledge of TCP/IP, VLANs, VPNs, BGP, OSPF, STP, and MPLS.
  • Hands-on experience with at least two of the following firewall platforms: Palo Alto, Fortinet, Cato Networks.
  • Hands-on experience with enterprise switching and routing from at least two of: Cisco, Aruba, Arista, Juniper, Huawei
