• Hands-on experience with Aruba WLAN AOS8 deployments and troubleshooting.
• Ability to produce clear, detailed, and accurate network documentation for changes and designs.
• Proven capability to plan and implement complex network changes in production environments.
• Strong troubleshooting skills for data centre and campus networking issues.

• experience working with advanced enterprise networking environments and data centre EVPN architectures.
• Familiarity with broader enterprise networking technologies such as Comware and Juniper (as part of the wider technology landscape).
• Ability to act as a Senior technical escalation point and mentor less experienced engineers.
• Strong communication skills, with the ability to explain complex technical concepts clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Comfort working in a fast-paced, high-accountability environment with multiple concurrent initiatives.
