This is a 6+ mo Cisco refresh project with an interesting schedule.
Skills required:5 to 10 years as a Network Engineer. MUST have current Cisco Switch refresh experience.
Layer 3 switching, strong OSPF and Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) are must haves for the switch refresh project.
This is a Cisco Switch/Router refresh position for Hospital locations swapping out 10 to 12 year old switches/routers then configuring and installing new ones ( Cisco 9300's, 9410's, 9500's, 9606 core switches).
This Network Engineer will have two Technician's that work with him/her.
Cutovers for hardware refresh starts around 5pm, 7pm or maybe 9pm based on location. Usually 5 hours long. Manager said, moving 1 port at a time takes a while.
You'll work 1 night on/off and another Network Engineer will work the next night with 2 Technicians.
During the day or night you'll do prep work for the next site you'll go to.
90% on-site. The schedule is quite fluid. I will describe a typical week.
Monday - prep work 9 to 5. But can be split shift.
Tuesday - Switch Migration - typically 10Pm to finish. But as 24X7 spaces are completed it can start earlier.
Wednesday - prep work 9 to 5. But can be split shift.
Thursday - Switch Migration - typically 10Pm to finish. But as 24X7 spaces are completed it can start earlier.
Friday - prep work 9 to 5. But can be split shift.
