Network Engineer — Contract, Data Centre Migration

**The work** A six-month contract supporting a data centre migration for a financial services client. Building and staging leaf and spine switches, writing and peer-reviewing the change records, running the VLAN and BGP cutovers inside the approved windows, and holding the rollback plan. Two days a week on site in the City, the rest remote, with weekend change windows roughly once a fortnight. **What you need** - Five years or more in enterprise or data centre networking. - BGP and VLAN/STP to the point where you can design the cutover, not just execute it. - Cisco NX-OS or an equivalent data centre platform in production. - EVPN/VXLAN exposure is preferred; we will not filter you out without it. - You will need to pass a standard financial services background check before you start. **What we offer** A day rate in the band above with an uplift for out-of-hours windows, a genuine hybrid pattern, and a client who has already extended the last two contractors on this programme. Laptop and lab access are supplied. **How to apply** Apply through CableJob. Answer the screening questions in the form; we reply to every application within five working days.
