CCNA is desirable but not essential – equivalent practical experience will be considered.

Experience with Cisco Webex Calling, Microsoft 365, Azure or wider infrastructure would also be beneficial.

• £35,000–£45,000
• Hybrid working – minimum 2 days per week in Sheffield

• Occasional UK travel to sites and suppliers

You’ll need a full UK driving licence and access to a car.
