The Opportunity

• Document deployment and testing outcomes clearly
• Work with technologies including Cisco Nexus 9300, Cat8300, VLANs, VPC, BGP, OSPF, NX-OS, and CAT-OS
• Use tooling such as Visio, Excel, etc. to produce professional technical documentation
• Maintain a flexible, delivery-focused attitude

What You'll Need:
• Active SC Clearance (essential)
• Proven experience in large-scale network deployments
• Strong hands-on configuration and troubleshooting skills
• Excellent documentation capabilities
• Availability to travel during implementation phases (largely in the South)
