Infrastructure Project Coordinator / Junior Project Manager (Contract)

Our client is seeking an Infrastructure Project Coordinator or Junior Project Manager to support a large-scale network infrastructure initiative focused on Cisco hardware lifecycle management and vulnerability remediation. This role will help coordinate activities related to code and firmware updates on end-of-life network equipment across a complex enterprise environment. While the initial project is targeted for completion by October 2026, successful consultants will have the opportunity to transition into additional infrastructure projects due to a significant ongoing project pipeline.

Candidates do not need to be hands-on engineers but should have familiarity with infrastructure environments, including:

• Cisco network switches
• Cisco routers
• Data center operations
• Network infrastructure projects
• Hardware refreshes and lifecycle management
• Firmware, software, or code upgrade initiatives
• Vulnerability remediation programs

Experience supporting network engineering or data center teams is highly preferred.

Responsibilities:

• Coordinate project activities for network infrastructure upgrades and remediation.
• Track project timelines, milestones, dependencies, and deliverables.
• Facilitate communication between infrastructure, network engineering, and business stakeholders.
• Schedule and coordinate maintenance windows, implementation activities, and status meetings.
• Maintain project documentation, action items, risk logs, and project reporting.
• Assist with change management processes and implementation tracking.
• Monitor progress against critical October remediation deadlines.
• Escalate risks, blockers, and resource constraints as needed.
• Support multiple workstreams across a large enterprise infrastructure.

Work Environment:

• Remote opportunity.
• DFW-area candidates are preferred and may have the option to work periodically from local office space when collaboration is beneficial.
• Candidates working remotely should demonstrate strong self-management skills and the ability to operate independently with limited supervision.
