This position plays a key role in both day-to-day network operations and the NETC Next Generation initiative, deploying advanced transport and SD-WAN technologies that strengthen healthcare connectivity across Maine and beyond.

The ideal candidate is a hands-on technical leader with deep routing and switching expertise, strong analytical skills, and a passion for building resilient, secure, and scalable network solutions in a healthcare-focused environment. You’ll troubleshoot backbone and transport issues, contribute to network design and testing, and support strategic initiatives.

• Troubleshoot complex BGP, MPLS, and EVPN Layer 2 connectivity across NETC’s core and participant sites.
• Perform route-table analysis, traffic optimization, and failover validation.
• Support proactive network monitoring, incident management, and root cause analysis.
• Mentor Tier 1 and Tier 2 NOC technicians; develop and maintain operational standards, playbooks, and knowledge articles.
• Support SD-WAN architecture, configuration, and testing for the NETC Next Gen platform.
• Build, configure, and maintain Versa Director, Controller, and Analytics components in both self-hosted and cloud-hosted environments.
• Assist in migration between shared and dedicated head-end infrastructures.
• Participate in BGP and VRF design for multi-tenant healthcare networks.
• Validate routing table scaling, control-plane resilience, and headless operation limits.
• Collaborate with carrier and vendor engineering teams to ensure consistency across core and edge environments.
• Maintain up-to-date topology, configuration, and interface documentation.
• Contribute to test plans, change-control documentation, and internal knowledge base content.
• Partner with NOC Operations, Field Services, and Project Management teams to ensure seamless rollouts and operational handoffs.

• 5+ years of experience in IP networking or carrier-grade network environments.
• Strong working knowledge of BGP, OSPF, MPLS, VRF/EVPN, and Layer 2/Layer 3 transport design.
• Hands-on experience with Versa SD-WAN, Fortinet, Cisco IOS-XE, or similar enterprise platforms.
• Familiarity with multi-tenant architectures, VLAN trunking (802.1Q), and WAN redundancy.
• Proficiency with CLI and Linux environments; scripting or automation (Python, Ansible) is a plus.
• Excellent troubleshooting and analytical skills with a focus on service continuity.
• Certifications such as CCNP, JNCIP, or equivalent preferred.
• Experience with healthcare networks, virtualization (VMware/Hyper-V), or monitoring tools (PRTG, Zabbix, Solar Winds) a plus.
