Network Administrator Associate

GDIT is hiring a Network Administrator Associate for the Base Infrastructure Modernization (BIM) program at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam (JBPHH) on Oahu, Hawaii. You’ll join the site team that operates and maintains the base network, working side by side with our Air Force customer while the base goes through a major network modernization.

What your week looks like

Most days start with health checks. You’ll work through the daily O&M checklist, review monitoring and alerts, and check the incident queue for anything that came in overnight. From there you’ll pick up tickets, troubleshoot switching, routing, and access problems on enterprise network equipment, and work each one to closure within the contract’s service level targets. When a problem is beyond you, you escalate early and with good notes.

A steady part of the job is compliance. You’ll help apply STIGs, work findings from vulnerability scans, and keep device configurations current and backed up. Every change goes through a formal process. You’ll help plan the work, document it, and carry out approved changes during scheduled maintenance windows, some of which fall on nights and weekends.

You won’t spend the whole day at a desk. The team runs preventive maintenance inspections in telecom rooms across the base, supports installs and upgrades tied to the modernization, and works with vendors when hardware fails. You’ll also take a turn in the team’s on call rotation.

What we expect from you

We want someone dependable who is careful around production equipment. That means following change control every time, documenting what you did so the next person can pick it up, and communicating clearly with the military and civilian customers who rely on this network for their mission. You don’t need to know everything on day one. You do need to own your tickets, ask good questions, and keep learning. People who do well here grow into senior administrator and lead roles.
