◦ Extend wired and wireless network coverage, with a focus on performance, scalability, and security.

◦ Implement wireless solutions to provide seamless coverage throughout multiple floors and basement levels.

• Firewall & Security Configuration:

◦ Review, configure, and optimize Palo Alto Networks firewalls, including security policies, NAT rules, threat prevention, and VPN.

◦ Ensure compliance with security best practices, zoning, and segmentation strategies.

• Switching Infrastructure:

◦ Install, configure, and troubleshoot Cisco Meraki switches, including VLAN setup, port configurations, QoS, and uplink optimization.

• Onsite Support & Coordination:

◦ Collaborate with IT and facilities teams for cabling, rack installs, and network extension efforts.

◦ Provide detailed documentation of the new network topology and configuration changes.

◦ Be physically present onsite 2–3 days per week to assess coverage, validate installs, and perform hands-on tasks.

Required Skills & Experience:

• 7+ years of experience in enterprise network engineering roles.

• Strong hands-on expertise with Palo Alto Networks firewalls, including advanced security modules and Panorama management (preferred).

• Proficiency in deploying and managing Cisco Meraki switches and wireless access points.

• Experience with structured cabling planning, switch stacking, and high-availability design.

• Ability to conduct wireless site surveys and validate coverage (Ekahau or similar tools a plus).

• Knowledge of VLANs, routing protocols (OSPF/BGP), subnetting, and general Layer 2/3 troubleshooting.

• Understanding of zero trust principles and secure network segmentation strategies.

• Excellent documentation and communication skills.

Nice to Have:

• PAN Certified (e.g., PCNSE)

• Meraki CMNA or CCNA/CCNP certifications

• Experience with network monitoring tools (e.g., SolarWinds, PRTG, Meraki Dashboard analytics)

• Prior experience in office buildouts or expansions is a strong plus
