Dear Hiring Manager, I am writing to apply for the Senior Network Engineer position at CNS (Ghobash Group). With over 15 years of experience designing, implementing, and maintaining enterprise LAN/WAN and telecom infrastructure — including 5+ years at Etisalat — I bring the hands-on Cisco expertise and technical leadership this role requires. A few highlights relevant to your requirements: - Extensive routing and switching experience across OSPF, BGP, EIGRP, VTP, HSRP, VRRP, GLBP, STP, and VLANs, along with fiber optic GPON/FTTH network deployment and troubleshooting - CCNP certified, with an AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Associate credential supporting hybrid cloud-network integration (VPC, Transit Gateway, Direct Connect) alongside traditional infrastructure - Proven mentorship of junior engineers on networking standards and troubleshooting methodologies, most recently while supporting large-scale WAN environments at Etisalat and previously on the Delhi International Airport T3 project - Strong track record of technical leadership: planning in-depth network initiatives, guiding cross-functional teams, and maintaining uptime across mission-critical infrastructure While my direct hands-on Fortinet certification is something I'm actively pursuing (NSE 4), my depth in Cisco routing/switching and security fundamentals (IPSEC, VPN, ACL) means I can ramp quickly on your Fortinet stack. I hold a valid UAE driving licence and am based in Dubai, available to start with standard notice. I've attached my CV for your review and would welcome the opportunity to discuss how my background aligns with your team's needs. Thank you for your time and consideration.
