JOB DESCRIPTION

Healthcare experience is major plus

Strong Must haves:

1. Cisco Software-Defined Access (SDA)
2. large Cisco enterprise environment experience
3. Firewall experience
4. Catalyst Center
5. ISE - Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE)
6. Cisco Nexus data centre technologies, including VXLAN/EVPN and Nexus Dashboard (NDFC)
7. Cisco Catalyst 9800 Wireless Controllers
8. Great Communication Skills
9. commutable to the Hospital as the role is on-site, with the chance of hybrid WFH split later.

From an experience perspective, we're looking for candidates who can demonstrate real-world operational ownership—not just exposure. Strong candidates should be comfortable discussing topics such as:

• Troubleshooting Cisco SDA fabrics and Catalyst Center
• Cisco ISE authentication, authorization, profiling, and endpoint onboarding
• Enterprise wireless troubleshooting, RF optimization, roaming, and client performance
• Routing protocols including BGP, OSPF, and EIGRP
• Data center networking using VXLAN/EVPN
• Large-scale Cisco switching and routing
• Incident response and root cause analysis in a production environment
• Working in a 24x7 operational support model with on-call responsibilities

Candidates whose experience is primarily limited to traditional routing and switching, data center deployments, or configuration work—without hands-on experience supporting SDA, Catalyst Center, ISE, and enterprise wireless—typically are not the right fit for this role.

Healthcare experience is certainly a plus, but it isn't required. What's most important is experience supporting large, always-on Cisco enterprise environments where uptime, operational excellence, and troubleshooting are critical.
