Role Summary
As a Staff Network Engineer, you are the technical authority for delivering Cisco-based enterprise network infrastructure for new office builds, major refits, and site expansions globally. You own the network scope end-to-end — from early facilities planning and structured cabling design through full LAN, WAN, wireless, security deployment, validation, and production handoff.
This role requires deep hands-on Cisco expertise, strong knowledge of structured cabling, power, and physical infrastructure, and the ability to independently deliver sites with minimal oversight. You will partner closely with Facilities, Real Estate, Construction, Security, and Operations teams and will be accountable for sites being correct, supportable, and production-ready. This role is expected to challenge and improve manual processes, reduce configuration drift, and help move the organization toward predictable, data-driven network delivery at scale.
In this role, you influence and help define global network standards and designs that are reused across regions worldwide.
This role plays a critical part in scaling a global office footprint and shaping standardized, automated network delivery at scale.
