Job Description

firstPRO is seeking a hands-on Network Engineer to join a major enterprise network modernization initiative. This is a unique opportunity to work in a Cisco-centric environment and take ownership of large-scale network upgrades, design improvements, and operational support across data center, campus, and branch networks.

What You’ll Do:

• Lead hands-on hardware upgrades for Cisco Catalyst switches (2960, 9200), Nexus core devices, and ISR routers

• Configure and troubleshoot routing protocols such as BGP, OSPF, and static routes

• Excellent communication skills and strong documentation habits
• Hands-on field experience and the ability to respond to on-site issues when required

Why This Role Is Exciting:

• Be part of a full network refresh: switches, routers, firewalls, and Nexus core replacement

• Work on data center modernization and SCADA network improvements

This is a high-impact, hands-on role for a Cisco engineer who enjoys both engineering and operational challenges. If you thrive in fast-paced modernization projects and want to make a tangible impact, this is the role for you.
