Network Administrator / Network Engineer - Calgary, AB, Contract, Onsite
We're looking for an experienced Network Administrator / Network Engineer for a hands-on operational role supporting an enterprise networking environment.
This opportunity is ideal for an intermediate-to-senior network professional who enjoys troubleshooting, keeping networks running smoothly, and supporting infrastructure upgrades. Network design and architecture experience is an asset, but the primary focus is day-to-day network operations.
What You'll Do
- Provide day-to-day administration and operational support for enterprise network infrastructure.
- Troubleshoot switching, routing, wireless, and firewall issues.
- Monitor network availability and performance and resolve incidents.
- Support network equipment refreshes, upgrades, and implementation activities.
- Work independently within an established IT team.
- Provide onsite network support at district school locations as required.
- Communicate effectively with technical teams and customer stakeholders.
Technology Environment
- Switching: HPE Aruba and Arista
- Wireless: HPE Aruba
- Firewalls: Palo Alto Networks
- Routing: Enterprise routing technologies
- Strong Cisco networking experience will also be considered, even without direct Arista or HPE Aruba switching experience.
What We're Looking For
- Strong enterprise switching and routing fundamentals.
- Hands-on network operations and troubleshooting experience.
- Experience supporting enterprise wireless networks.
- Firewall administration and troubleshooting capabilities.
- Experience with network equipment upgrades and lifecycle activities.
- Familiarity with HPE Aruba, Arista, Palo Alto Networks, and/or Cisco technologies.
- Ability to work independently and effectively within an existing IT environment.
- Strong communication and customer-facing skills.
Location & Travel
- Onsite in Calgary five days per week.
- Travel to various locations approximately one to two times per week.
- Must have access to reliable transportation and their own vehicle for school-site visits.
We're prioritizing practical, hands-on networking expertise over senior-level architecture experience or certifications across every listed vendor.
No agencies, please.
