A major infrastructure upgrade project is kicking off in early July, involving a full switch refresh at a critical UK site.

• Participate in out-of-hours work to minimize operational disruption

• Support structured cabling, port mapping, and network changeovers

• Work closely with project management to ensure milestones are hit

• SC clearance (active) is mandatory due to site sensitivity

• Proven background in network refresh or migration projects

• Ability to work flexibly
