You will design the new site, provision circuits, configure core WAN and security, execute the move weekend, and complete local LAN configuration. Hands-on role with real impact.

If you have not set up a datacenter or a large WAN migration before, this role is not a fit.

  • Plan and execute maintenance windows, failover testing, and performance tuning

  • Coordinate carriers and vendors; optional exposure to Riverbed WAN optimizers, Kemp load balancers, VMware networking

  • Participate in after-hours emergencies as needed; role is overtime eligible

What You Bring

  • 5+ years in enterprise LAN/WAN operations in a multi-site environment

  • Proven datacenter build or migration ownership, or a major WAN site build of similar complexity

  • Strong Cisco routing/switching experience and IP troubleshooting skills

  • Palo Alto site-to-site VPN and policy management experience

  • Comfort with Azure networking and Windows AD

  • Clear documentation habits and steady execution under pressure

  • Education in a technology discipline; CCNA/CCNP and PCNSE preferred

Work Setup

  • Downtown Toronto office

  • Minimum 3 days onsite per week; extended onsite presence expected during maintenance or move weekends

  • Respectful culture for after-hours contact; emergencies require rapid response

Quick Pre-Screen

  • Have you built or migrated a datacenter end-to-end?

  • Have you designed multi-office interconnects and provisioned circuits with carriers?

  • Have you set up Palo Alto site-to-site VPNs and managed policies with Panorama?
