Network Delivery Engineer

Network Delivery Engineer
 
Location: London - Hybrid Working
Salary: Up to £40,000 
Benefits: Share scheme, private healthcare, pension, 25 days' annual leave + bank holidays
 
Our client, a leading London-based MSP, is hiring a Network Delivery Engineer to take ownership of the provisioning and successful delivery of customer network services.
 
This role sits at the heart of the network service delivery process. You'll be responsible for ensuring new connectivity services are correctly provisioned, configured and activated, from initial order and port allocation through to service turn-up and handover.
 
Much of the provisioning process is automated, so this isn't a role focused on manually configuring devices all day. Instead, you'll manage the provisioning workflow, complete the elements that require engineering input and investigate anything that fails or stalls.
 
The goal is simple: make sure network services are delivered on time and work first time.
 
What you'll do

Manage the day-to-day provisioning and delivery of customer network services
Take ownership of orders that fail or stall within the provisioning workflow and see them through to completion
Prepare and configure customer network equipment using approved templates
Allocate network ports and fibre panels, ensuring all changes are accurately recorded
Provision datacentre services including cross-connect orders, patching and associated documentation
Troubleshoot provisioning issues, identify root causes and resolve or escalate them appropriately
Maintain accurate service, port reservation and decommissioning data to support automated provisioning
Identify recurring provisioning failures and manual workarounds, helping drive permanent improvements
Raise change requests for non-standard configurations and escalate complex network designs where required
Support field engineers during customer service activation and network turn-up
Provide clear updates to Service Delivery teams on the network status of customer orders and any actions required to progress them
Communicate clearly with internal technical teams and customers throughout the delivery process You'll work closely with Network Engineering, Service Delivery, Service Desk, warehouse and field engineering teams, giving you exposure to the full lifecycle of delivering network connectivity services.
