  • Validate physical and logical connectivity: optics selection, fiber polarity verification, link aggregation, VLAN trunking, and end-to-end ping/trace tests.
  • Lead staging and burn-in activities; coordinate maintenance windows and support change implementation with accurate documentation.
  • Mentor L1/L0 technicians; review work for correctness (labeling, patching, port mapping) and enforce ESD/tooling best practices.
  • Update as-built network records (port maps, serials, rack elevations, IP allocations) in the designated system of record.

Required Skills and Knowledge:
  • Strong understanding of CCNA-level networking concepts: IP addressing, VLANs, trucking, STP, EtherChannel/LAG, Layer 3 fundamentals (static routes, OSPF basics), and troubleshooting.
  • Hands-on familiarity with data center cabling and optics: SFP/SFP+/QSFP form factors, fiber types (SM/MM), polarity, and connector care.
  • Ability to follow and improve runbooks/MOPs; disciplined change control and rollback planning.
