• Configure and install routers, Aruba and Cisco wireless controllers, switches, firewalls, and load balancers.
• Carry out network maintenance and system upgrades, including service packs, patches, hotfixes, and security configurations.
• Manage incidents (break/fix) end-to-end, from diagnosing root causes to coordinating the repair or replacement of failed equipment.
• Deliver preventive maintenance health checks and respond to service requests within SLA requirements.
• Execute change management activities and ensure projects are completed on time, within scope, cost, and quality requirements.
• Provide system usage training to customers.
• Prioritize workload to maximize productivity and minimize customer downtime.
