Description

Moser Consulting is seeking a Senior Network Engineer to join our Network Engineering team within the Core Technologies practice, serving clients across Northern Indiana. This is a client‑facing consultant role responsible for designing, deploying, and managing enterprise network and security infrastructure across a diverse portfolio of client environments.

The successful candidate will work across multi‑vendor platforms — including Cisco, Arista, Fortinet, Palo Alto, Meraki, and Aruba — while ensuring security, performance, and availability.

This position requires the ability to work independently on complex problems while also contributing as a strong team collaborator in a fast‑paced consulting environment. Candidates must be based in the Northern Indiana region and willing to travel to client sites as required. This position will also participate in a team on‑call rotation.
