Network Administrator, Beverly Hills, CA
Beverly Hills, CA | Fully On-Site | 1-Year Contract (with option to renew)
Own the infrastructure. Lead the modernization. Work in one of the most scrutinized, high-expectation public-sector environments in Southern California.
A well-regarded public-sector organization in Beverly Hills is seeking a Network Administrator. This is not a caretaker role. The previous incumbent held the seat for 15 years. The organization is now launching major infrastructure upgrades, a data center relocation, and a voice platform migration — and this person will be the technical lead driving that work.
Why this role stands out
- You are the senior technical authority for network, server, wireless, firewall, and infrastructure systems.
- You direct field technicians and contracted crews — not just configure devices.
- You own standards, architecture decisions, vendor selection, and project execution.
- Technology is treated as a strategic capability here, not a back-office cost center. Peers study this environment.
- Real ownership of multi-site campus networking, next-generation firewalls, enterprise wireless, Cisco Catalyst switching, virtualization, and upcoming modernization projects.
What you’ll own
- Full administration of switching, routing, wireless, firewalls, servers, storage, virtualization, and cloud infrastructure
- Network security, identity/access management, backup/DR, and monitoring
- Direction and quality control of field technicians performing installs and remediation
- Scoping, planning, and execution of infrastructure upgrades, data center relocation, and VoIP/cloud calling migration
- Documentation, asset management, vendor coordination, and technical leadership
Must-haves
- 3+ years (5+ preferred) of progressive network/systems/infrastructure administration experience
- Hands-on enterprise switching, routing, wireless, and next-gen firewall work (Cisco or Aruba + Palo Alto strongly preferred)
- Server, storage, and virtualization administration experience
- Ownership of backup, recovery, and disaster recovery systems
- Experience directing field technicians or contracted install crews
- Ability to work fully on-site in Beverly Hills, Monday–Friday, 8:00 AM–5:00 PM
- Valid California driver’s license and ability to pass background clearances
- Bachelor’s degree in a related field (or equivalent experience)
Strongly preferred
- CCNA / CCNP, Network+, Security+, Microsoft, Azure, AWS, VMware, or equivalent certifications
- Multi-site/campus fiber and distributed IDF/MDF experience
- Network access control (ClearPass or equivalent)
- Public sector, education, or regulated environment background
- End-to-end ownership of a network refresh or modernization project
- Comfort being the most senior technical person in the room

Two structures available:
- W-2: Up to $120,000 base + full benefits + paid holidays and PTO
- Hourly contract: Up to $75/hour (all-inclusive). No benefits or paid time off.
