Job description

Hey - Let's find your next opportunity

Location: Nashville, TN, Memphis, TN, Atlanta, GA, Greensboro, NC or Charlotte, NC - Field Based

We are looking for a Network Engineer with a strong background in routing and switching to lead our on-site enterprise deployments. This is not a standard "cable tech" role; we need a Cisco-certified professional who can bridge the gap between physical infrastructure and complex logical networking. You will be the technical authority on-site, responsible for configuring, troubleshooting, and maintaining high-capacity circuits for our most critical business clients.

Key Responsibilities

• Advanced L2/L3 Troubleshooting: Resolve complex connectivity issues involving BGP, OSPF, VLAN tagging (802.1Q), and STP.
• Enterprise Deployment: Lead the installation and CLI-based configuration of Cisco, Juniper, and Meraki hardware.
• Circuit Validation: Utilize high-end diagnostic tools (VIAVI, NetAlly) to ensure Fiber and Ethernet circuits meet strict Service Level Agreements (SLAs).
• NOC Collaboration: Act as the primary field liaison for our Network Operations Center, assisting in the turn-up of static IP blocks and complex routing tables.
• MDF/IDF Management: Perform "deep-dive" audits of client server rooms to optimize equipment placement and extend demarcations.
• Infrastructure Reliability: While the focus is logical, you will ensure the physical layer (Fiber/Copper) is spliced and terminated to enterprise standards.
