The experienced Network Engineer role is not focused on a specific, large‑scale project.

Involvement with Wescom Resources Group (WRG): The engineer will partner closely with WRG, which provides infrastructure to other credit unions. This means there might be additional projects for other credit unions that the engineer will be involved in as part of their day‑to‑day responsibilities, not as separate, additional projects.

Travel for Infrastructure Work: The role requires occasional travel (approximately once a quarter) to the data center in Phoenix or to branches for activities like new branch openings or equipment upgrades.

Essentially, the role is more about handling ongoing operational needs and contributing to smaller, integrated projects as part of the daily workflow, rather than leading or being dedicated to a single, defined project.
