Job Description
NETWORK ENGINEER
JOB DESCRIPTION
JOB SUMMARY
The Network Engineer is responsible for designing deploying managing and maintaining network systems that support ITS infrastructurethis includes traffic control systems communications (fiber wireless etc.) CCTV sensors data backhaul field device connectivity and monitoring. The Network Engineer ensures high availability reliability security and performance of networked systems while working closely with field teams civil/electrical engineers vendor partners DOTs municipalities utility providers and/or telecom carriers.
ESSENTIAL DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES
- Design engineer and implement network topologies and connectivity for ITS applications: fiber optic networks wireless links Ethernet MPLS VPN etc.
- Conduct network capacity planning performance analysis and scalability assessments to support ITS growth.
- Define network hardware (routers switches wireless access points antennas edge devices) firmware/software requirements and configure network devices.
- Ensure reliable redundant and resilient network pathways (dual feeds backup links failover configurations).
- Implement and maintain network security: firewalls intrusion detection/prevention (IDS/IPS) encryption authentication access control network segmentation.
- Monitor networks for latency throughput packet loss jitter; detect and respond to bottlenecks or faults.
- Troubleshoot issues in field devices communication links backhaul networks; coordinate with field technicians and others to resolve outages or performance issues.
- Collaborate with systems engineers civil/electrical engineers for field visibility (fiber routes wireless line of sight conduit paths grounding power etc.).
- Maintain network documentation: network diagrams configurations change logs test reports service level agreements (SLAs).
- Support deployment of new ITS devices and systems (CCTV sensors detection signal controllers dynamic message signs) ensuring network connectivity.
- Participate in commissioning testing and validation of communication infrastructure.
- Plan and implement disaster recovery / business continuity for network systems.
- Coordinate with vendors carriers municipalities DOTs utility providers.
- Keep up to date with standards and regulations relevant to ITS communications (e.g. NTCIP IEEE FCC wireless regulations state/local codes).
WORKING CONDITIONS
- Work is split between office and the office tasks include design coordination documentation meetings modeling drawing review and analysis.
- Field work may include construction sites adjacent to roadways highways intersections tunnels and elevated structures.
- Temporary exposure to high traffic heavy equipment construction vehicles utility trenches confined spaces variable terrain and weather extremes (heat cold rain wind).
- Use of site trailers job-site field offices and remote locations.
- Work may require extended hours weekends or occasional overnight travel to remote sites.
- May require climbing ladders poles climbing into manholes vaults underground trenches overhead work and working around energized circuits (following lock-out/tag-out procedures).
- Coordination with traffic control utility shutdown windows lane closures and night work may be required for minimal traffic interruption.
PHYSICAL DEMANDS
The physical demands described here are representative but not exhaustive; actual demands may vary by project and site:
- Ability to walk across uneven rough or rocky surfaces construction debris mud or vegetation.
- Standing or walking for long periods (several hours) on-site inspections.
- Climbing ladders stairs poles scaffolding.
- Bending stooping kneeling crouching to inspect or work near ground level or underground equipment.
- Lifting carrying pushing pulling equipment tools conduit cable reels or crates (up to 50 lbs occasionally heavier with assistance).
- Manual dexterity to handle small tools wiring cabling connectors small components.
- Working in confined spaces (vaults junction boxes manholes) with limited headroom.
- Working near energized electrical equipment (with safety protocols & Required PPE).
- Exposure to outdoor elements: heat cold sun rain wind humidity.
- Potential for travel (driving to remote sites) and occasional overnight stays.
Desired / Preferred Certifications & Training
- OSHA 30-Hour Construction Safety Certification (or equivalent safety training especially if working in or around roadways or construction sites).
- CCNA / CCNP (Cisco) SEC or equivalent vendor certifications.
- Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP) or similar security cert.
- Wireless communication certifications (e.g. for microwave links RF FCC licensing knowledge).
- Vendor-specific certifications: e.g. from manufacturers of ITS radios wireless gear transceivers cellular etc.
- Project Management or PMP (if the role involves overseeing deployments).
- First Aid / CPR / AED (useful for field work).
- Continuing education in ITS communication standards (e.g. NTCIP IEEE DOT etc.).
PREFERRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE
- Degree in Telecommunications or related field.
- Strong experience (often 5 years) with network design configuration and operations especially in field / industrial / communications infrastructure settings.
- Experience with ITS-related networking: field device connectivity remote sites perhaps wireless (microwave cellular point-to-point) fiber sometimes LTE / 5G / etc.
- Knowledge of network protocols and standards: TCP/IP DNS DHCP SNMP OSPF BGP VLANs QoS MPLS etc.
- Familiarity with redundancy resiliency latency jitter high-availability networks.
- Experience with network hardware & vendors: routers switches firewalls wireless equipment fiber transceivers etc.
- Good diagnostics and troubleshooting skills including using network monitoring and test tools.
- Strong documentation skills; ability to make detailed network diagrams configuration documentation field test reports.
- Strong communication skills; ability to work with field staff and non-technical stakeholders.
- Willingness/ability to travel to field sites.
