If you’re a Fortinet-driven Network Engineer who thrives in secure, high-stakes environments, this is the role that puts you at the centre of mission-critical defence infrastructure.

What you’ll own

• Designing, implementing and optimising secure network solutions across Fortinet technologies (FortiGate, FortiManager, FortiAnalyzer, SD?WAN)
  
  
• Hardening and maintaining gateway environments aligned to defence security standards
  
  
• Monitoring, troubleshooting and resolving complex network issues across multi-site, high-availability environments
  
  
• Supporting uplift of network security posture, automation and documentation
  
  
• Working closely with cyber, infrastructure and architecture teams to deliver secure-by-design outcomes
  
  

What you bring

• NV1 Security Clearance (mandatory)
  
  
• Strong Fortinet experience - ideally 3–6+ years hands?on across firewalls, VPNs, routing, segmentation and policy management
  
  
• Solid grounding in secure networking principles, defence environments and compliance frameworks
  
  
• Experience across routing/switching (Cisco/Juniper welcome but Fortinet is the hero)
  
  
• Ability to operate in structured, high?security environments with precision and accountability
  
  

Why this role matters: You’ll be joining a defence program where network reliability, resilience and security are non-negotiable. This is a chance to work with modern Fortinet stacks, influence secure architecture, and contribute to national-level capability uplift.
