- Monitor network performance, resolve complex RF, switching, firewall, and WAN issues, and participate in a rotating on-call roster.
- Manage vendor, ISP, and carrier relationships, including technical escalations, SLAs, and contract spend.
Requirements
- Hands-on experience with switching and wireless infrastructure, residential or other complex Wireless/RF environments.
- Experience managing network vendors, ISPs, SLAs, and budgets, with a track record supporting multi-site operations.
- Experience leading or mentoring a small technical team, with a hands-on approach, strong communication skills, and the ability to balance operational priorities with continuous improvement.
