Your role as Technical Consultant – Network & Security Custom Solutions

As a Technical Consultant at KPN, you’ll dive deep into the security infrastructure of our customers. You design and build innovative systems that we manage on their behalf, ensuring a smooth transition to our operations team.

You know how to turn complex challenges into smart, effective solutions. Together with the customer, you translate their needs into clear technical specifications. You create high-level designs and align them with our lead consultants and architects to ensure everything fits seamlessly.

You bring the following qualities:

  • You take initiative—both towards customers and within your team.

  • You have a strong interest in emerging technologies and are always curious to explore new developments.

  • At KPN, you work in a hybrid environment: regularly at our Amersfoort office or on-site with customers, with plenty of flexibility to work from home. On average, you’ll spend 2 to 3 days per week at a KPN location or customer site, and the rest remotely—allowing you to balance work and personal life effectively.

This is how you make an impact—for our customers, our team, and the Netherlands.
