Job Description

Systems Engineer – UK Public Sector (Local Government)

Location: Midlands, UK (Remote - with regular travel to customers across the region) Please note: candidates must already be based in the UK with the full right to work.

Join Fortinet, a global cybersecurity leader with over two decades of innovation, as we continue to support the digital transformation of UK Local Government. Our mission is to protect people, services and data everywhere, and we are looking for a Systems Engineer to help deliver that mission across councils and local authorities in the Midlands.

We are expanding our Public Sector team and are hiring a Systems Engineer to support County Councils, District and Borough Councils, Unitary and Combined Authorities, and related local government organisations. This role is ideal for engineers who understand the challenges of distributed estates, legacy modernisation and critical service availability, as well as the security and compliance pressures that Local Government faces.

Our work in this sector spans secure network transformation, SD-WAN for multi-site environments, NGFW and segmentation, SOC and monitoring integration, cloud adoption and end-to-end security architecture. You will work closely with account teams, partners and public sector stakeholders to design and validate solutions that improve resilience, reduce risk and support essential public services.

What you’ll do

  • Lead technical engagements with Local Government customers across the full sales cycle, including discovery, solution design, workshops and proofs of concept
  • Translate council and local authority requirements into secure, scalable Fortinet architectures that fit their operational, compliance and budget constraints
  • Deliver demonstrations, whiteboarding sessions and technical briefings tailored to Local Government environments
  • Support secure network transformation projects, including SD-WAN, NGFW, segmentation, cloud security and SOC integration
  • Work with partners, procurement frameworks and internal teams to ensure successful delivery and long-term adoption
  • Keep up to date with Fortinet’s portfolio, UK Public Sector security standards and emerging threats
  • Support RFI/RFP responses and framework submissions, and keep accurate records in Salesforce
  • Act as a trusted advisor to customers and a technical mentor to partners and colleagues

What we’re looking for

We are looking for a technically strong, customer-focused professional who understands the realities of UK Local Government environments. You may be a great fit if you have:

  • Experience in a pre-sales engineering, technical consulting or customer-facing engineering role
  • Knowledge of cybersecurity technologies such as NGFW, SD-WAN, segmentation, SASE, Zero Trust, SOC tooling and cloud security
  • Experience supporting Local Authorities or other Local Government organisations
  • Strong communication and presentation skills, with the ability to engage both technical and non-technical public sector stakeholders
  • A collaborative mindset and the ability to build trusted relationships with customers and partners
  • Industry certifications (e.g. Fortinet NSE/FCP, CISSP, CCNP), which are an advantage
  • A home base in the Midlands and willingness to travel regularly to customer sites across the region

Why Fortinet

At Fortinet, we believe that diverse perspectives drive innovation, and we are committed to creating an inclusive environment where everyone can thrive. You’ll join a collaborative team with access to continuous learning, career development and a Total Rewards package that supports your health, well-being and financial future.

Let’s help secure the future of UK Local Government together.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
