Key Responsibilities:
- Provide L2 network support for SD-WAN, LAN, Wireless APs, and Cisco/Arista switches across HQ, branch offices, and manufacturing plant sites.
- Troubleshoot and resolve network incidents escalated from L1/helpdesk — including connectivity drops, slow performance, VLAN misconfigurations, and AP issues.
- Monitor network health using available tools and respond promptly to alerts or outages affecting production or office environments.
- Perform basic configuration tasks on Cisco and Arista switches — VLANs, port settings, spanning tree, and trunk/access port adjustments.
- Support and maintain Wireless Access Points — managing connectivity, signal issues, AP reboots, and coordination with wireless controllers.
- Assist with SD-WAN edge device support — basic troubleshooting of WAN links, failover validation, and escalating complex issues to L3 or vendor support.
- Coordinate with ISPs for circuit issues, outage reporting, and ticket follow-ups.
- Conduct regular site visits to HQ, nearby offices, and plant locations to perform hands-on network checks and hardware replacements.
- Maintain accurate documentation of network issues, changes, and site-specific configurations.
- Support onboarding of new network hardware at plant/office expansions under L3 guidance.
This is a fully onsite role based primarily at the client's Hershey, PA headquarters. Regular travel to nearby office locations and manufacturing plants is expected as part of the role. Candidates must be comfortable working in both office settings and light industrial/plant floor environments. Occasional off-hours availability may be needed during outages or planned maintenance windows.
Basic Qualifications:
- A minimum of 5 years of hands-on network support experience in a corporate or manufacturing environment.
- A minimum of 5 years of experience with Cisco and/or Arista switches — VLANs, port configuration, STP basics.
- A minimum of 5 years of experience with Wireless Access Points (Cisco, Meraki, Aruba, or equivalent) — connectivity issues, controller checks, AP replacements.
- A minimum of 1 year of experience with SD-WAN concepts and basic troubleshooting (VeloCloud, Meraki, Viptela, or similar).
- A minimum of 1 year of experience with LAN fundamentals — IP addressing, subnetting, DHCP, DNS, and basic routing.
- High School Diploma or GED
Preferred Qualifications:
- Familiarity with ticketing systems and following ITSM/change management processes.
- Ability to read basic network diagrams and escalate appropriately to L3 engineers.
- Cisco CCNA certification or equivalent knowledge (preferred but not required).
- Prior experience working in a manufacturing or industrial network environment.
