Role Overview
We are seeking six hands-on Cisco Network Deployment Technicians to support enterprise network infrastructure installations, hardware upgrades, equipment replacements, and scheduled cutovers.
This position focuses on the physical installation, connection, and maintenance of Cisco networking equipment within an organization's buildings. Technicians will work directly with enterprise switches, network racks, fiber and copper cabling, optics, transceivers, and related infrastructure.
This is a hands-on network hardware deployment position, not a network engineering or design role. The ideal candidate has practical experience installing and replacing Cisco switches, performing rack-and-stack activities, and troubleshooting basic physical connectivity issues.
Technicians will collaborate with network engineers and onsite project teams to ensure equipment is installed correctly, connected, tested, and documented.

Unbox, stage, and prepare switches and associated components for production deployment.
Prepare network closets, Intermediate Distribution Frames (IDFs), and Main Distribution Frames (MDFs) for equipment installations and upgrades.
Remove outdated networking equipment and install replacement hardware during scheduled refreshes and cutovers.
Safely handle and position switches, power supplies, optics, transceivers, and other high-value networking components.
Cabling & Connectivity
Install and connect copper Ethernet cables, fiber-optic cables, SFP/SFP+ transceivers, stacking cables, and power connections.
Identify, label, organize, and connect cables to the appropriate switch ports and patch panels.
Verify physical connections, power status, link lights, and basic network connectivity.
Perform initial troubleshooting of cabling, hardware, and physical connectivity issues, escalating advanced configuration problems to network engineers.
Deployment Coordination & Documentation
Follow established implementation plans, technical runbooks, change procedures, and deployment checklists.
Coordinate with network engineers, project teams, and onsite personnel to complete hardware installations and scheduled network cutovers.
Assist network engineers in verifying successful equipment installation and connectivity.
Document completed installations, equipment replacements, cable connections, and port assignments.
Maintain organized, clean, and safe network closets and deployment environments.
Required Qualifications
Demonstrated hands-on experience installing, replacing, or supporting Cisco switches or comparable enterprise networking equipment.
Practical experience with rack-and-stack installations, switch staging, hardware replacements, and structured network cabling.
Working knowledge of Ethernet, fiber-optic cabling, SFP/SFP+ transceivers, stacking cables, patch panels, and switch ports.
Ability to identify and troubleshoot basic physical network connectivity issues.
Experience working with network racks, switches, and related IT infrastructure.
Ability to follow technical documentation, installation procedures, and deployment instructions accurately.
Comfortable working independently in network closets, IDFs/MDFs, data centers, and similar infrastructure environments.
Strong attention to detail when handling expensive networking equipment and maintaining accurate cable connections.
Ability to lift, position, install, and cable network equipment as required.
