Flint Hills Resources (FHR) is seeking a Network Analyst.

Our Team

• Network Lifecycle Management: Participate in lifecycle management activities, including device provisioning, patching, firmware upgrades, configuration management, and documentation across routing, switching, and firewall platforms
• Network Security & Access Control: Support firewall policy management, network segmentation, and secure connectivity (e.g., VPNs), ensuring alignment with security standards and business requirements
• Relationship Development: Develop and maintain relationships with key customers and stakeholders

Who You Are (Basic Qualifications)

• Exposure to scripting or automation (e.g., Python, PowerShell, or similar) to support operational efficiency
• Experience with enterprise firewall platforms (e.g., Palo Alto, Cisco, Fortinet)
• Familiarity with cloud networking (e.g., VPCs, subnets, hybrid connectivity, load balancing)
• Experience with network automation or infrastructure-as-code tools (e.g., Ansible, Terraform)
• Hands-on experience in process control or industrial environments, especially petrochemical or manufacturing sectors
