Network Engineer

H&V is a global leader in filtration and energy storage solutions. Our advanced materials are used in nearly every industry and touch every aspect of modern life. Wherever you work, live or travel, chances are an H&V solution is close by, contributing to a cleaner, healthier, more sustainable world. H&V serves the world from 13 strategically located facilities. Our footprint in the Americas, Europe and Asia lets us meet the unique requirements of global and regional customers efficiently, accurately and cost effectively, while capturing supply chain efficiencies.

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.

• 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 escalates 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 upscale 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 the site.
• You support the wide‑area network—SD‑WAN (Cato SASE), MPLS, and VPN—working tickets and escalations through to resolution.
• You test HA failover on firewall pairs and redundant paths so the redundancy actually works when it’s needed. Redundancy you’ve never failed over to is a hope, not a plan.
• You implement firewall changes to approved, scoped requests—specific sources, destinations, and ports, documented—so “allow” is always deliberate, never any/any.
• You help maintain segmentation and apply security standards as they’re designed.

• You ensure UPS units across sites are monitored and maintained—batteries replaced on schedule and alerts configured, so a failing unit is known before it drops a load.
• You keep an eye on the power and environmental conditions the network gear depends on, and you flag risks before…
