## Description

As a Senior Network Engineer, you'll lead and execute complex infrastructure projects while serving as a trusted technical resource for both clients and internal teams.

Your responsibilities will include:

 * Designing and implementing secure, scalable enterprise network solutions
 * Deploying and supporting routers, switches, firewalls, wireless networks, VPNs, and related infrastructure

Travel Expectations

This role includes regular travel to client locations throughout the Hudson Valley and surrounding regions.

Travel varies based on active projects and client needs. During our busiest season-particularly throughout the summer months when many clients complete technology refreshes, infrastructure upgrades, and school district projects-you should expect increased travel and time onsite to support successful project execution.

If you enjoy getting out from behind a desk, working hands-on with technology, and seeing projects through from start to finish, you'll find this role both rewarding and challenging.
