This is a hands-on, operational Senior Network Engineer role focused on implementation, triage, and production support. You will own regional network delivery for energy sites, deploy and validate within established architecture, act as a senior escalation point, and keep services reliable under real customer expectations. Strong production networking fundamentals and an operations mindset matter most. You will coach peers where needed while staying deep in day-to-day delivery. This is not a pure architecture, program management, or design-only role. Success means owning production operations: deployments, incident response, on-call, and continuous improvement of live network services.
