Senior Network Technician

About the role

Four contract Network Technicians are needed to support the network infrastructure conversion of a recently acquired Clarksville hospital. The project involves migrating the facility from the legacy CHS network environment to the client's enterprise network infrastructure as part of a broader hospital systems integration initiative. This is a short-term, high-visibility project with a critical "big bang" network cutover scheduled for October 2-3.

Approximately 120 Cisco switches are being deployed as part of the conversion effort.

Responsibilities

• Diagnose and resolve network connectivity issues, verify physical connections, identify port/VLAN mismatches, and support users during a large-scale network migration.
• Install, configure, and validate approximately 120 Cisco switches being deployed throughout the hospital.
• Migrate connections from legacy infrastructure to the new network, applying knowledge of VLANs, port assignments, and network segmentation.
• Rack and stack equipment, install network hardware, trace and move cabling, and work in data closets to physically migrate network connections.
• Support switch installations prior to cutover and assist with overnight cutover activities.
• Provide post-migration troubleshooting and work closely with network engineers and hospital staff.

• Experience racking and stacking equipment, installing network hardware, and working in data closets.
• Strong troubleshooting mindset, attention to detail, and ability to work under pressure during critical cutover activities.
• Professional communication and team collaboration skills; ability to work closely with network engineers and hospital staff.

Qualifications

• CompTIA Network+ certification preferred; CCNA is a plus but not required.
• Basic understanding of wireless networking concepts and access point connectivity preferred.
• Experience supporting network deployments, site migrations, infrastructure refreshes, or large-scale technology rollouts is highly desirable.
• Prior experience working with Cisco Catalyst switching environments is preferred.
• Healthcare experience is a plus but not required.
• Bachelor's degree is not required.
