Providence caregivers are not simply valued – they’re invaluable. Join our team at Enterprise Information Services and thrive in our culture of patient-focused, whole-person care built on understanding, commitment, and mutual respect. Your voice matters here, because we Providence know that to inspire and retain the best people, we must empower them.

Network Engineers are the behind‑the‑scenes superheroes who partner early and often with developers, testers, and program managers to design, operate, and elevate the large‑scale, mission‑critical services that power IS, non‑IS, and clinical caregivers every day. They translate business, technical, and caregiver needs into resilient, compliant, high‑performing service architectures that deliver availability, quality, cost, and experience. They craft and champion standards, engineer service delivery systems end‑to‑end, and lead the charge in diagnosing and permanently solving disruptions with calm, creative precision.

From driving innovation through telemetry, automation, lifecycle planning, and cost modeling, to steering disaster recovery drills and ensuring 24x7 uptime, they keep the enterprise humming. Network Engineers are master problem‑solvers, data‑driven decision makers, financial stewards, and thought leaders—mentoring teammates, advancing IS best practices, and pushing the organization toward smarter, faster, more reliable solutions. With an eye for continuous improvement and a passion for results, they don’t just keep networks running—they make them extraordinary.
