Cisco Network Engineer II (Onsite

Job Description

A healthcare client in the Greensboro, NC area is seeking a Level 2 Network Engineer to support and remediate Cisco network infrastructure across clinic and enterprise environments. This is a highly hands‑on, execution‑focused role centered on vulnerability remediation, IOS upgrades, patching, and rapid troubleshooting in production environments.

This position is 80% onsite / 20% remote, with heavy onsite presence early in the engagement (ex: Tuesday–Thursday) to accelerate ramp‑up and complete critical work across multiple sites. The ideal candidate has strong foundational knowledge of Cisco infrastructure, understands how hardware is physically and logically connected, and can quickly diagnose and recover from network issues without escalation delays.

• Execute vulnerability remediation, patching, and hardening across Cisco network infrastructure to maintain security and compliance
• Perform IOS and IOS‑XE upgrades on switches and related network devices, including planning, execution, validation, and rollback when needed
• Troubleshoot and resolve network incidents, including:
• Site‑level outages
• Switch failures
• Connectivity and routing issues at Layer 2 and Layer 3
• Analyze IP addressing, port configurations (including access vs trunk ports), and device configurations to diagnose and resolve issues
• Respond to production issues quickly and confidently, ensuring minimal disruption to clinical operations
• Coordinate and execute changes through formal change‑management processes
• Validate remediation efforts and confirm stability following patches or upgrades
• Work onsite with site and infrastructure teams during early ramp‑up to address accumulated work and stabilize environments
• Partner with broader infrastructure and security teams to maintain a secure, reliable Cisco network environment
