IP re-addressing at scale
Proven remote-delivery model - can write an implementation package (design, config, IP plan, port map, cutover plan, rollback plan, test plan) precise enough for a non-specialist field tech to execute, and run the cutover remotely

Nice to Have Skills & Experience

CCNP Enterprise or CCIE; Aruba or Silver Peak certification
AireOS-to-IOS-XE wireless controller migrations
Nexus / NX-OS
Config automation - Ansible, Python, or orchestrator templating

## Description

Insight Global is looking for a senior network engineer who specialized in large- scale network modernization projects across dozens of sites. You will be working with a small team to help with a global modernization program. You will be apart of a small team working to design and execute SD-WAN deployments, migrating networks from MPLS to broadband, upgrading Cisco infrastructure and firewalls, and creating detailed implementation documentation that local field technicians can follow during cutovers. You will work with a team of field admins to replace end of life edge routers and firewalls, refresh LAN switching, upgrading wireless, re-IP'ing overlapping subnets and decommissioning legacy WAN circuits across roughly 100 sites. You will lead remote engineering, build the implementation packages, and run cutovers remotely. This is a 6 month contract to hire role hybrid in Kansas City.
