Network Systems Engineer
Location: Onsite in Phoenix, AZ
Type: Contract-to-Hire (3 months)
Motion Recruitment is partnering with a well-established organization in Phoenix to hire a Network Systems Engineer for their in-house IT team. This is a hands-on role in a Cisco environment with exposure across network, server, storage, and data center infrastructure. It's a great fit for someone who wants broad experience rather than being boxed into a single lane.
What You'll Do
- Install, configure, and administer network, server, storage, and data center environments
- Handle 2nd line support for incidents and changes, with escalation paths above you
- Monitor performance and capacity, and help forecast infrastructure needs
- Write and maintain technical documentation, procedures, and configuration standards
- Participate in and help lead IT projects including upgrades and rollouts
- Support network hardware, servers, data storage, and workstations
- Maintain backup systems
- Travel up to 10% as needed
What We're Looking For
- Hands-on experience in a Cisco infrastructure environment
- Solid grasp of LAN, WAN, WLAN, DNS, subnetting, routing, and switching
- Exposure to SD-WAN, VoIP, virtualization, or Microsoft 365 and Azure is a plus
- CCNA certification, or actively working toward it
- Technical degree, bachelor's, or equivalent hands-on experience
- Strong documentation habits and clear communication
- Humble, team-first approach. This is a lean team where everyone pitches in
- Comfortable with hands-on physical work, including racking equipment and occasional lifting up to 50 lbs
Why You'll Like It
- Broad exposure across the full infrastructure stack, not just one specialty
- A real path to a permanent role through contract-to-hire
- Small, collaborative team where your work is visible
- Strong benefits package including 401k match and annual bonus
- A stable, long-tenured environment
