Troubleshooting & Optimization: - Provide high-level troubleshooting support and optimize network performance for various locations across the country. Documentation & Knowledge Transfer: - Document network configurations, policies, and best practices to ensure consistency and compliance across the organization. - Conduct knowledge transfer sessions with internal IT staff to ensure they are equipped to manage the new environment post-project. Key Qualifications: - Proven experience with Windows networking and Windows Server 2012 environments (ideally in large, multi-site organizations). - Expert knowledge of Active Directory, DNS, DHCP, and other domain-related services. - In-depth experience with Fortigate firewalls and network security best practices. - Extensive experience designing, implementing, and securing enterprise-scale network infrastructures. - Strong understanding of network protocols, VPNs, and security practices (including but not limited to ACLs, IDS/IPS, encryption). - Excellent communication skills, with the ability to work cross-functionally and explain technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders. - Prior experience in merger/acquisition environments with network integrations is a huge plus. - Strong troubleshooting skills and the ability to solve complex issues in a high-stakes environment. Why Work With Us: - Impact: This is a high-profile project that will have a lasting impact on the network infrastructure of a growing national network. - Flexibility: As a contractor, you will have flexibility in terms of hours and work location (remote work possible, on-site visits possible). - Challenge: You will have the opportunity to work on a complex, multi-faceted project with room to showcase your expertise and problem-solving abilities.
