  • Monitor network performance, availability, and security using enterprise monitoring tools (e.g., SolarWinds, PRTG, Nagios, or equivalent); respond to and resolve alerts in accordance with defined SLAs.
  • Participate actively in the Knowledge Transfer phase, shadowing CAL FIRE network staff, documenting configurations, and building runbooks and standard operating procedures.
  • Support the Technology Assessment by conducting network audits, capturing device inventories, and validating architecture documentation against physical and logical configurations.
  • Perform system administration tasks for servers and infrastructure supporting the CAD environment, including OS patching, backup management, and performance tuning.
  • Implement and maintain network security controls including ACLs, firewall rule sets, VPN configurations, and intrusion detection/prevention systems (IDS/IPS).
  • Respond to and resolve network incidents and service requests, maintaining detailed records in the ITSM ticketing system.
  • Support disaster recovery and business continuity testing, including failover validation for CAD-critical network paths.
  • Maintain accurate and up-to-date network documentation including topology diagrams, IP address management (IPAM) records, and configuration baselines.

Qualifications

Required Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree in information technology, Computer Science, Network Engineering, or a related field with 5 years’ experience.
  • Minimum 5 years of hands-on network and systems administration experience, with at least 2 years in public safety, government, or critical infrastructure environment.
  • Must be a US Citizen.
  • Cisco CCNA required certification.
  • Proficiency with Cisco IOS/IOS-XE, routing protocols (OSPF, BGP, EIGRP), switching (STP, VLANs, trunking), and firewall platforms (Cisco ASA/FTD, Palo Alto, or Fortinet).
  • Solid understanding of TCP/IP networking, DNS, DHCP, QoS, and network security fundamentals.
  • Experience with ITSM platforms (ServiceNow, Remedy) and change management processes in a regulated environment.
  • Working knowledge of Windows Server and Linux administration in a networked environment.
  • Ability to work on-call rotations and respond to after-hours incidents as required by operational SLAs.

Preferred Qualifications

  • CCNP (Routing & Switching or Enterprise) strongly preferred. CompTIA Network+ and/or Security+ a plus.
  • Familiarity with CAD system network requirements, including low-latency design, redundancy, and integration with radio/telephony systems preferred.
  • Experience with SD-WAN platforms (Cisco Viptela, VMware VeloCloud, or equivalent) preferred.
