This role will help coordinate activities related to code and firmware updates on end-of-life network equipment across a complex enterprise environment.
While the initial project is targeted for completion by October 2026, successful consultants will have the opportunity to transition into additional infrastructure projects due to a significant ongoing project pipeline.

Cisco network switches
Cisco routers
Data center operations
Network infrastructure projects
Hardware refreshes and lifecycle management
Firmware, software, or code upgrade initiatives
Vulnerability remediation programs

Experience supporting network engineering or data center teams is highly preferred.

Facilitate communication between infrastructure, network engineering, and business stakeholders.
Schedule and coordinate maintenance windows, implementation activities, and status meetings.

Assist with change management processes and implementation tracking.
Monitor progress against critical October remediation deadlines.
Escalate risks, blockers, and resource constraints as needed.
Support multiple workstreams across a large enterprise infrastructure.

Work Environment

DFW-area candidates are preferred and may have the option to work periodically from local office space when collaboration is beneficial.
Candidates working remotely should demonstrate strong self-management skills and the ability to operate independently with limited supervision.
