* Troubleshoot and resolve any issues related to the switch upgrade
* Work independently across various locations, including remote sites and the main hospital
* Execute upgrades outside of business hours - primarily during weekends
* Maintain strong communication with internal teams to ensure minimal disruption

REQUIREMENTS:
* Experience validating network connectivity and resolving upgrade-related issues
* Strong, recent, hands-on experience with Juniper switches - including software upgrades and troubleshooting
* Proven ability to lead network upgrade initiatives independently
* Ability to travel locally to multiple facilities
* Must be available to work weekends for the upgrade implementation
* Professional, self-starter with the ability to hit the ground running
* Comfortable working in hospital or healthcare environments (experience preferred but not required)
