We are working with a growing industrial organization to place a Senior Network Engineer on a 6-month contract-to-hire basis. The role is remote-friendly with a preference for candidates on the East Coast. This is a hands-on senior-level position covering Cisco routing and switching, LAN, SD-WAN (currently deploying SolarPeak), and Azure cloud networking, with work spanning both greenfield facility builds and ongoing infrastructure support.
This is a rare seat for a network engineer who actually wants to do both design and deployment. You will own architecture decisions, create designs for new facility builds, and then go execute them in the field. The company is actively expanding its physical footprint, which means greenfield projects, cloud build-outs in Azure, and real variety in what you touch day to day. If you are the type of engineer who gets restless doing only one thing, or who wants to see their designs come to life rather than hand them off, this is built for you. No on-call rotation, travel roughly once a month, and a clear path to full-time for the right person.
