Are you a hands-on Network Engineer who enjoys solving complex challenges, improving systems, and owning network architecture from end to end?

This is a great opportunity to join a stable, well-established organization where your work directly impacts production, operations, and enterprise-wide connectivity.

In this role, you will design, build, secure, and support the network infrastructure that keeps a multi-site operation running smoothly. You will be the go-to technical expert for routing, switching, wireless, firewalls, and network security. If you enjoy variety, visibility, and working closely with both technical and non-technical teams, this environment will feel like a great fit.

⭐ What You’ll Be Doing
  • Supporting day-to-day operations of the enterprise network—troubleshooting issues, optimizing performance, and ensuring uptime.
  • Administering and configuring routers, switches, firewalls, and wireless access points.
  • Designing and implementing network solutions to support new applications, projects, and technology upgrades.
  • Analyzing network traffic and recommending improvements for future growth.
  • Leading the implementation of cybersecurity best practices including VPNs, firewalls, IDS/IPS, and encryption.
  • Monitoring network performance across both cloud and datacenter environments.
  • Owning network documentation, change management records, and architecture diagrams.
  • Serving as the escalation point for complex network and connectivity issues.
⭐ What’s In It for You
  • High visibility and ownership of enterprise networking and security.
  • Impactful work supporting both corporate and manufacturing operations.
  • Stable environment with ongoing modernization and technology upgrades.
  • Opportunities to influence architecture and introduce new solutions.
  • Collaborative culture where IT, operations, and security partner closely.
QUALIFICATIONS
  • Bachelor’s degree in IT, Computer Science, or related field (or equivalent experience).
  • Practical experience designing, implementing, and supporting network infrastructure.
  • In depth experience with TCP/IP, DNS, DHCP, VLANs, VPNs, and routing protocols (OSPF, BGP, EIGRP).
  • Hands-on experience with firewalls, routers, switches, and wireless networking equipment.
  • Understanding of network security principles and cybersecurity best practices.
  • Experience with network-related projects such as upgrades, migrations, or new builds.
  • Solid troubleshooting skills and the ability to communicate effectively across teams.
  • Manufacturing, industrial, distribution, or multi-site environments
  • Teams where you’ve supported both hands-on hardware work and high-level design
