These advantages help make H&V a valuable partner and a true worldwide leader. Our success comes from our ability to adapt, our values and the people of H&V. We act with integrity, and we treat customers, partners and each other with dignity and respect. We live these values every day and could not have prospered for more than 200 years without them.

Our IT mission is to ensure technology genuinely empowers H&V to create a cleaner world—and the network is what carries that mission between every site, system, and person. When it works, no one thinks about it. When it doesn’t, a plant can’t reach the ERP, a mill drops off monitoring, and the business feels it. The network you help run underpins nearly everything H&V does.

As a Network Engineer, you’re the hands that keep the network running and growing. You deploy and configure the switches, firewalls, wireless, and connectivity our sites depend on—working to the standards and designs set by the senior engineering team, and contributing your own ideas where they help. This is a hands‑on, execution‑focused role: you’ll spend your days deploying hardware, making changes, resolving issues, and keeping the network healthy across H&V’s mills and offices.

A central part of the role is deploying next‑generation firewalls across our OT (operational technology) sites—hands‑on project work that directly shapes how we protect production. You’ll grow under the guidance of senior engineers, and throughout you put the customer first: success is measured by whether the business can rely on the network you help build.

You deploy and configure network hardware—switches, routers, and wireless access points—installed cleanly, configured to standard, and documented.

You make the day‑to‑day changes: VLANs, port configuration and security, and switch and routing updates, executed carefully and with change discipline.

You keep campus switching and wireless coverage holding up in industrial environments—not just conference rooms—and the wiring closet organized and documented.

You work to the designs and standards set by the senior engineering team, and you contribute to design where your hands‑on perspective helps.

You troubleshoot connectivity issues from the physical layer up, and when something is beyond your depth you escalation with good information—after you’ve dug in, not before.

You’re hands‑on in deploying next‑generation firewalls (Palo Alto) across H&V’s OT sites—staging, installing, cabling, configuring to the approved design, and validating cutover.

You partner with the OT Engineering team and senior network engineers to roll these out without disrupting production—OT environments can’t just be rebooted, and you plan your work accordingly.

You document each deployment so the next site goes faster and the estate stays consistent.

Our MSP monitors the WAN day to day. When they escalation to check on‑site conditions—a link, a device, a wiring closet—you make sure the question gets answered: handling it yourself, or coordinating someone on the field team to be your eyes and hands at…
