Network Security Consultant — Fortinet & Palo Alto specialist, remote, £90k, all certs paid £90,000 | Remote with travel | UK Wide
Our client is a specialist network and security consultancy looking for a Network Security Consultant to join a growing technical team. This is a broad, well-rounded role — pre-sales, design, implementation, and support — with Fortinet and Palo Alto firewalls at the centre of it.
They want someone on the way up. Not someone who's done it all and is coasting — someone with solid firewall foundations who's hungry to develop, take on more, and build a serious career in network security. All certifications and training paid for. Fully remote with travel when the work requires it.
WHAT YOU'LL BE DOING
• Design and implement Fortinet and Palo Alto firewall solutions across complex enterprise environments (60% of the role)
• Provide 3rd line escalation support across the security estate (20%)
• Support pre-sales engagements — technical scoping, customer conversations, and solution positioning (10%)
• Produce high-quality technical designs and documentation to support delivery
• Travel to customer sites across the UK when projects and engagements require it
TECH STACK
• Fortinet — FortiGate, FortiManager, FortiAnalyzer
• Palo Alto — NGFW, Panorama • Network Security — firewall policy, VPN, segmentation, zero trust
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
• Solid Fortinet firewall background — FortiGate design, implementation, and support in enterprise environments
• Palo Alto experience — NGFW configuration and management, Panorama a strong plus
• Strong network security fundamentals — firewall policy, VPN, segmentation, and threat management
• Someone on the way up — strong foundations, driven to develop, and ready to take on more responsibility
• Comfortable working independently and remotely — you manage your own time and deliver without hand-holding
• Confident enough to support pre-sales conversations and customer-facing engagements
• Fortinet NSE or Palo Alto PCNSE certifications beneficial — any held will be built on, all training and certs funded going forward
THE PACKAGE
• £90,000 base salary
• Fully remote — UK wide, travel to customer sites when required
• All certifications and training fully funded — they invest in developing their people
• A broad role: pre-sales, design, implementation, and support across a varied customer base
WHY THIS ROLE STANDS OUT
• £90k for a firewall specialist at this level is a strong number
• All certs paid — NSE7, PCNSE, whatever's next, they'll fund it
• Remote-first with real variety — no two weeks the same
• Genuinely career-building — design, pre-sales, delivery, and support all in one role
• Two of the most in-demand firewall vendors in the market — Fortinet and Palo Alto on your CV together is a powerful combination
• A business that wants to develop you, not just use your existing skills
