You might manage networks for your own organisation or be employed as an external consultant.

Network Engineers should have excellent technical skills and be able to use their abilities in a range of circumstances. Problem solving skills are important and you’ll need to have strong analytical abilities. Network Engineers must be able to work as part of a team and come up with workable solutions to a range of issues.
