At Nuffield Health, everything we give our patients, members and customers would not be possible without you. Your passion, your warmth, your drive to make a difference. Whether it’s driving connected health, helping the nation, transforming experiences, or building the career you want – we give you the support to do it all. Join our journey. It starts with you.

We’re looking for a Infrastructure Engineer with a strong interest in networking technologies and modern engineering practices. In this hands-on role, you’ll support the delivery of network-focused projects by carrying out configuration, implementation tasks, and technical changes aligned to agreed designs.

Working closely with architects, senior engineers, and delivery managers, you’ll focus on executing project activities rather than making design decisions or providing day-to-day operational support. You’ll be on hand to assist with any technical work related to the projects you’re assigned to, ensuring changes are delivered accurately, securely, and to a high standard.

You’ll also contribute to project outcomes by applying modern networking practices such as automation, infrastructure-as-code, and configuration-as-code, as guided by the wider engineering team.

You should have:

• Demonstrable hands-on experience with Cisco switching, including configuration, patching, and network maintenance activities within enterprise environments.

• Strong working knowledge of Palo Alto firewalls, including rule management, policy changes, and general firewall administration.

• Experience with SD-WAN technologies, including Silver Peak and Palo Alto SD-WAN solutions.

• Demonstrable hands-on experience with enterprise wireless networks, including configuration and maintenance of Aruba WiFi solutions.

• A solid understanding of network security principles, segmentation, and secure connectivity across LAN/WLAN/WAN environments.

• The ability to carry out technical changes and project tasks in line with agreed designs, working closely with architects and senior engineers.

• A proactive approach to troubleshooting and resolving network issues related to project delivery.

• Experience working within structured change and project environments, following best practices and established engineering standards.

• The desire to maintain high engineering standards and collaborate effectively within a wider delivery team.

• The desire to drive high standards and practices and the willingness to collaborate with, coach and mentor other engineers.

• A passion for debugging issues and solving problems - identifying, analysing, and resolving issues in strategic way, and continuously improving our solutions.

• Experience with configuration and change management, incident/problem resolution, and evolving endpoint solutions based on modern infrastructure standards and practices including automation, observability, and continuous deployment.

• Experience working collaboratively with architects and project managers to agree enterprise-wide solution designs and standards and plan the implementation of these across both a central and multi-region estate.

We will provide:

• The opportunity to work as a hands-on Network Engineer, supporting and delivering network infrastructure across the organisation, using technologies such as Cisco switching, SD-WAN, firewalls, and enterprise wireless.

• The chance to contribute to the delivery of network-focused projects, working closely with architects and senior engineers to implement secure, scalable, and reliable solutions.

• Exposure to a wide range of technologies including Palo Alto firewalls, Silver Peak and Palo Alto SD-WAN, Extreme Networks switching, and Aruba WiFi.

• A variety of interesting and challenging project work, supporting both customer-facing services and critical internal infrastructure.

• The opportunity to develop your technical skills and deepen your experience across modern networking practices, including automation and infrastructure-as-code.

• A collaborative team environment where you’ll work alongside experienced engineers, gaining knowledge and contributing to high-quality delivery standards.

• Ongoing support to grow your career while remaining strongly focused on hands-on engineering and technical delivery.

Hints & Tips

Help with your application.

Once you’ve found the right role for you, you can apply online. All you need to do at this stage is submit your CV, a covering email, and a few personal details.

Our recruitment team screens all of the applications we receive. So, if they see that you’ve got the right sort of skills and experience needed for the role, your details will be passed on to the relevant hiring manager. Then, if you fit all the criteria at this stage, you’ll be invited to take part in a video, telephone or face-to-face interview.

CV

Think about the skills and qualities asked for in the job description and show how you’ve applied those same skills and qualities in other roles. Focus on the things that will make us want to see more of you.

Covering email

Your CV will contain details about why you’d be a good fit for the role, but it’s well worth adding a short, snappy paragraph pulling out the two or three most compelling reasons as to why you’d be perfect for the job in your covering email..

Video interview

The video interview lasts 15-20 minutes if you get to this stage. On the day, look the part, be aware of your surroundings and practice your answers to feel prepared. Most of all, relax and be yourself.

DBS Checks

Some of our roles require a DBS check and they are processed through the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) as part of the recruitment process. These checks are to assist employers in making safer recruitment decisions. However, a check is just one part of robust recruitment practice.

Documents

You could be asked to provide proof of vaccinations as part of our Occupational Health pre-employment screening. We know it can be time consuming to get this information if you don’t already have it to hand, so we encourage you to start preparing this information to avoid any delays to the onboarding process.

Your current studies

If you are currently undertaking any strudies, education or apprenticeships, its worth noting there are some training provider we're not partnered with, and therefore potentially unable to support your continued learning. Ensure you share this at interview and for queries contact psc@nuffieldhealth.com

Feedback on applications

Due to the volume of applications we receive we are unable to provide individual feedback from an inital application.
