Job summary

The Home Office works to build a safe, fair and prosperous UK. We achieve this through our work on counter-terrorism, policing, crime, drugs policy, immigration and passports.

Home Office Digital designs, builds and develops services for the rest of the department and for government. Every year our systems support up to 3 million visa applications, checks on 100 million border crossings, up to 8 million passport applications and deliver 140 million police checks on people, vehicles and property.

A Network Engineer is responsible for the design and implementation of networking services according to the departmental policy and Home Office strategy.

You will work in a team of Network Engineers making sure services are delivered and supported as required. You will work with and support third parties to provide network services and with technical architects to translate architectural designs into operations.

Job description

As a Network Engineer, you will work closely with technical architects and external suppliers to deliver network solutions aligned to departmental strategy and standards. The position offers the opportunity to be involved across the full lifecycle of network services, helping to ensure they are robust, resilient and able to meet evolving business needs.

designing, implementing, administrating and supporting network services
resolving network issues impacting Home Office users, ensuring that technical solutions continue to meet business requirements
responding to incident reports, ensuring relevant prioritisation and detail to allow for effective investigation
identifying the correct procedures and appropriate channels for resolution and monitor resolution activities and progress updates to users
investigating faults in networks, and advising on the implementation of appropriate solutions and preventative measures
contributing to solutions designs, based on your understanding of the networking integrations points in the end-to-end solution, making sure that the recommended solution meets the functional and non-functional requirements, as well as Home Office standards.

Working Pattern

This role is available on a full-time basis. This role is also suitable for part-time working hours, with a minimum requirement to work 22.2 hours per week due to business requirements.

Like many organisations we need to maintain our services 24/7, therefore, on occasions there may be a requirement to work out of hours, for which you will be paid an additional allowance.

Travel

Occasional travel may be required for business needs. Any associated costs will be reimbursed in line with Home Office policy.
