Virginia’s community colleges have a 50-year track record of educational excellence and innovation to serve the needs of our citizens and strengthen the Commonwealth’s economy. When Virginia’s General Assembly established the Virginia Community College System in 1966, the need for a comprehensive system was well known. Over the two decades after the end of World War II, leaders in government, business, professional sectors, and academia had called for a new approach to providing educational opportunity.

A key concern was Virginia’s ability to develop a skilled and knowledgeable workforce to expand the state’s economy. Today our community colleges give every Virginian the opportunity to gain a quality education. With 23 colleges on 40 campuses located throughout the state, Virginia’s Community Colleges are committed to serving Virginia families, helping them acquire the knowledge and skills to seize the opportunities of today and tomorrow.

The Senior Network Engineer is responsible for the VCCS enterprise network infrastructure, data center switching, WAN routing, and firewall services and does not require face‑to‑face interaction with the public, including students. This position routinely completes remote after‑hours and weekend maintenance on the network infrastructure to minimize service interruptions during normal business hours. It is expected that the employee will be capable of working a hybrid schedule as this position is telework eligible, planning time appropriately, and going to college locations, the System Office, the Shared Services Center, VCCS data centers, and network infrastructure serving all 23 college campuses and their associated satellite locations in Virginia.

The employee will attend all required meetings as necessary, either in person or from remote locations as dictated by present circumstances. The employee will be generally available during normal work hours but will be fully prepared to work as needed outside of those hours to maintain the 24×7 service required by the VCCS.

May be required to perform other duties as assigned. May be required to assist the agency or state government generally in the event of an emergency declaration by the Governor.
