🏢 About Eurofins

Eurofins is a global leader in analytical testing services, dedicated to promoting safer, healthier, and more sustainable environments. With a vast network of laboratories worldwide, the company offers a unique opportunity to work on impactful projects that directly contribute to public health and environmental protection.

About This Role

As a Senior Network Engineer at Eurofins, you will own and deliver critical network infrastructure projects, including datacentre migrations, SD-WAN rollouts, and Zero Trust initiatives.

After lunch, you might test a new SD-WAN configuration or troubleshoot a BGP routing issue across multiple sites, ensuring seamless connectivity for Eurofins' labs.

🎯 Who Eurofins Is Looking For

  • A hands-on expert in multi-vendor network security (Check Point, Fortinet, Palo Alto, Cisco Firepower) with proven experience in designing and managing complex firewall policies.
  • Deeply knowledgeable in routing and switching, particularly with Cisco Catalyst/Nexus and Juniper, and protocols like OSPF, BGP, and MPLS.
  • Experienced with SD-WAN (especially VeloCloud), cloud networking (AWS/GCP/Azure), and load balancers (A10, F5), with a track record of successful deployments.
  • A project-focused, autonomous engineer who can coordinate with cross-functional teams and deliver high-quality documentation (LLDs, HLDs, implementation plans).
