We’re looking for a Network Engineer to take ownership of a complex, multi-site enterprise network supporting critical matchday, broadcast and business operations. This is not just a BAU support role. You’ll play a key part in modernising our network estate; improving resilience, performance and security across stadium, office and remote environments.

What you’ll be doing

• Own and improve a multi-site network estate (Anfield, offices, remote sites)
• Lead resolution of high-impact incidents (connectivity, Wi-Fi, performance)
• Drive improvements in:
  • • Network resilience and failover
      • Wi-Fi performance and user experience
    • SD-WAN and site connectivity
• Work across LAN / WAN / Wi-Fi / firewalls to deliver end-to-end solutions
• Partner with infrastructure, security and application teams to improve service quality
• Identify recurring issues and implement permanent fixes (not workarounds)
• Support ongoing transition to modern, secure network architecture

What we’re looking for

We’re interested in engineers who:

• Have experience supporting complex, multi-site enterprise networks
• Have experience in migrating from a traditional network to an SD WAN
• Are comfortable across:
  • Routing & switching (Cisco / equivalent)
  • Firewalls (e.g. Fortinet, Palo Alto)
  • Wireless networks (enterprise Wi-Fi)
• Understand modern networking concepts, such as:
  • SD-WAN
  • Zero Trust / SASE
  • Network segmentation
• Can lead incidents and problem resolution, not just follow tickets
• Take a proactive, ownership mindset to improving services
• Can communicate clearly with both technical and non-technical stakeholders

Nice to have (but not essential)

• Experience in broadcast, media or high-availability environments
• Exposure to cloud networking (Azure / AWS)
• Network automation / scripting awareness
• Vendor certifications (CCNA/CCNP or equivalent)

What success looks like

• Network issues identified and resolved before users raise tickets
• Improved Wi-Fi and connectivity performance across key sites
• Clear, measurable improvements in resilience and failover
• Strong collaboration across IT teams

 

Why should you apply?

This is a full-time permanent role working 35 hours per week. Your main base will be our Anfield office, you will also be required to work at other LFC offices from time to time, as required.
