IMG is building a new broadcast headquarters at One Chiswick Park: a greenfield, Software defined, IP-first facility producing and delivering live sport 24/7. The Senior Network Engineer joins the network function at the centre of that build: helping commission the new estate through the project phase, then owning its day-to-day engineering permanently as part of the run team.

The position is designed for an engineer who bridges traditional networking and modern NetOps practice. The new estate is automation-first: every device is modelled in a NetBox source of truth, configuration is deployed from code through pipelines rather than hand-edited, and streaming telemetry feeds the observability stack. Changes are expected to land in days, not months, in a facility where the network carries live content around the clock.

The estate spans dedicated SMPTE ST 2110 media networks with PTP timing, EVPN/VXLAN leaf-spine services fabrics, a lossless fabric for emerging media-exchange and compute workloads, enterprise-class firewall estates, and a DWDM dark fibre WAN with dedicated cloud interconnects. You will work alongside the systems integrator during the build, with broadcast and corporate teams day to day, and act as a senior escalation point for the operation. The role suits engineers from broadcast, media, ISP or carrier backgrounds who want to build a modern network from a blank slate and then run it.
