Network Architect (SC Cleared)
Duration: 3 Weeks
Rate: £500 - £600 per day
Location: Remote working
IR35 Status: Outside
Start: ASAP
A Network Architect (SC Cleared) is required for our public sector client to provide high/low level design and the technology skill set required is Firewalls (Cisco ASA, Palo Alto) Networking, Meraki Switches.
Role Overview: The client has a specific Science Division which was a separate business; however as part of the integration of the business into the wider client, a new science network needs to be created to enable research and experimentation to be undertaken. Due to the nature of this work, it needs to be separate from the client via a firewall. The client already has a Palo Alto firewall in place separating the client from the Science Division, hence this can be reused. The firewall is currently in chain with a Cisco ASA Firepower which should be removed.
The objective is to provide a design that removes the ASA but maintains routing of existing services across the Palo Alto whilst introducing the new Science Network with rules in place to let science equipment transmit data to where it will be appropriately processed within the Client's network. Options would include users' laptops / storage within the Client's network or Production network / development network Azure Virtual Desktops
As the Network Architect (SC Cleared) you will be required to provide high/low level design; this will include providing a design for the removal of a Cisco ASA that is in line with a Palo Alto firewall, ensuring services are maintained and then introducing a new Science Network that will be used for experiments at the Clients Science Centre. Rules will then need to be put in place to allow flow from this network on a device-by-device basis so that each piece of equipment can send data to the part of the client's network most appropriate for its processing.
Key outcomes/deliverables will include:
Removal of Cisco ASA
Continued provision of services via existing Palo Alto
Creation of a new Science Network
High/Low level design to cover the solution
High level conceptual design can be provided
*Due to the nature of the role; candidates need to possess current SC Level Security Clearance*
