About this role
The IT Network Engineer designs, configures, implements, and supports Kidde Global Solutions' (KGS) global network, connectivity, voice, and remote-access services.

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.
  • Configure and tune core network services-VLANs, routing protocols (e.g., BGP, OSPF, EIGRP), spanning tree, QoS, DNS, DHCP, and IP address management-to optimize performance and availability.
  • Plan, deploy, and troubleshoot wireless (WIFI) networks, including site surveys, controller and access-point configuration, and RF optimization.
  • Configure and manage VPN, remote-access, and network access control (NAC) services for secure connectivity.
  • Monitor network health using network monitoring and management systems (NMS); proactively detect, diagnose, and resolve faults, including packet capture and protocol analysis.
  • Assist in modernizing legacy network and voice infrastructure using SD-WAN, UCaaS, VoIP, and centralized network management.
  • Perform technical analysis, performance tuning, capacity monitoring, and load testing of network and connectivity solutions; produce network design documentation, work instructions, test cases, and root cause analysis reports.

Connectivity & Voice
  • Deploy and support voice and remote-access services, including UCaaS and VoIP platforms.
  • Contribute to simplifying the network and voice landscape and help reduce the number of suppliers and platforms in use.
  • Improve the reliability of connectivity and voice services by identifying recurring pain points and delivering systemic fixes through problem management, automation, and optimized processes.

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.
  • Subscribe to and promote IT policies, health & safety standards, and KGS values.

Basic Qualifications
  • Bachelor's degree
  • 4+ years of hands-on experience engineering and supporting enterprise networks, connectivity, and voice services, ideally in a global or multi-site environment.

Preferred Qualifications
  • Bachelor's degree in a related field, or equivalent experience.

  • Strong working knowledge of networking protocols and services-TCP/IP, routing (BGP/OSPF), switching, VLANs, DNS, DHCP, VPN, NAC, and QoS.
  • Experience with network monitoring, troubleshooting, and packet/protocol analysis.
  • Working knowledge of ITIL practices, with hands-on Change and Problem Management experience.
  • Ability to travel up to 20%.
  • Flexible schedule to accommodate occasional on-call and after-hours needs.
  • Hands-on experience with any part of the KGS network technology stack-e.g., Cisco and Cisco Meraki (routing, switching, wireless), SD-WAN, next-generation firewalls, VPN, and network access control (NAC).
  • Zscaler background (Zscaler Internet Access / Private Access-Zero Trust / SSE) is a strong plus.
  • Network certifications such as CCNA or CCNP (Enterprise / Routing & Switching), or Cisco Meraki.
  • Advanced routing, switching, or wireless certifications (e.g., CCNP Enterprise, CWNA).
