Title: Network Engineer (Remote)

Duration: 6 months (with the possibility to extend beyond)

Location: Remote

Contractor must be a U.S. citizen. Security clearance is not required.

Description:

Background:

This team is tasked with identifying the client's Field Programs currently hosted in a commercial environment and assisting those Field Programs in migration to a government-certified high-security environment. This initiative ensures compliance with federal security requirements while maintaining accessibility and uptime for critical applications and data. Therefore, US Citizenship is required.

Goals and Objectives:

• Provide additional hands-on support
• Provide relief for current team members
• Provide additional skills to help the team meet objectives

Scope of work

• 1 x full-time temporary advanced-level Network Engineer (Engineer).
• The Engineer will report directly to the Networking Manager.

Due to the nature of this program's work, the Engineer will be expected to participate in the field program cut-over weekends. Cutovers will not be scheduled during active business hours to ensure business continuity; therefore, they must be done after regular business hours. These events will be scheduled well in advance and shown as a critical milestone in the project schedule. Accommodation will be made to flex time back to the Engineer after the cutover weekend is achieved.
