Position Overview We are seeking a hands-on Network Deployment Technician / Cisco Smart Hands Technician to support an enterprise network infrastructure deployment and hardware refresh initiative. This position focuses on the physical installation, staging, replacement, and connectivity verification of Cisco networking equipment.

Perform equipment swaps, hardware refreshes, and scheduled network cutovers.

Verify physical connectivity, link status, power, and basic device functionality during deployment activities. Troubleshoot basic hardware and connectivity issues, escalating advanced configuration or engineering concerns as appropriate. Label, organize, and document equipment, cables, switch ports, and network connections. Follow implementation plans, technical runbooks, change management procedures, and deployment checklists. Safely handle enterprise networking equipment, including switches, SFP/SFP+ modules, power supplies, and stacking components.

Coordinate with network engineers, project managers, and onsite technical personnel to ensure successful deployments. Maintain a clean, organized, and safe working environment within network closets, data centers, and other infrastructure locations.

Required Qualifications Hands-on experience installing, deploying, or supporting Cisco switches or comparable enterprise networking equipment.
