Job description

We're seeking a Senior Network Engineer who combines deep technical expertise with a passion for solving real business challenges.

You'll be the trusted technical advisor for our enterprise clients—guiding them through complex network transformations involving campus networks, SD-WAN, wireless infrastructure, data centres, and security.

This isn't a role where you disappear after deployment.

You'll work across the iOCO family, bringing together diverse expertise to deliver solutions that just work.

  • Collaborate with customers on network expansion and evolution strategies
  • Participate in beta testing and early adoption of new Huawei networking technologies
  • Network Knowledge Management & Team Development
  • Maintain expertise across Huawei's enterprise networking and security technology portfolio

  • Contribute to iOCO's network technical knowledge base and best practices Mentor junior network engineers and provide technical guidance

  • Your Expertise :

  • Professional Experience
  • Minimum 6-8 years in Huawei enterprise network and security implementation and supportProven experience with large-scale Huawei enterprise network and security deployments (1000+ users, multiple sites)
