Key Responsibilities

Network Engineering & Operations

• Configure, deploy, and maintain routing, switching, wireless, SD-WAN, and firewall infrastructure across the enterprise WAN and LAN to deliver resilient, reliable, secure, and performant connectivity.

Network Security Operations (NetSecOps)

• Support NetSecOps and coordinate with the Managed Security Services Provider to monitor and respond to security events across the network and its security systems (e.g., NGFW, IPS/IDS, NAC, VPN, WAF, web/email filtering, network segmentation, and SIEM).
• Assist with regular audit management and penetration-testing initiatives, including remediation of audit findings and network vulnerabilities.
• Support the development and execution of incident response and disaster recovery plans for network and cyber security events.

Service & Support

• Provide second- and third-level support for escalated network, connectivity, and voice incidents and service requests, resolving them within published SLA/OLA response times.
• Apply ITIL Incident, Problem, Change, and Configuration Management practices, recording and tracking all actions in the ITSM tool through final resolution.
• Engage in Problem Management by tracking and analyzing recurring network problems and providing proactive remediation communications to the broader KGS user community.
• Coordinate with technology vendors and internal IT teams to deploy, install, integrate, upgrade, or decommission network hardware and software.
• Support IT/OT integration, coordinating with Manufacturing Engineering, Process Control, and Operational Technology functions for network and cyber security needs.

Automation & Continuous Improvement

• Build and support network automation and self-service solutions to streamline configuration, provisioning, and change.
• Evaluate and help adopt emerging network technologies—software-defined and intent-based networking, high-speed connectivity, UCaaS, and network automation.
• Apply ITIL and continuous-improvement methodologies to network processes, service procedures, platforms, and user experiences; challenge the status quo and drive improvement.
