Project Delivery Engineer
We’re seeking a hands-on Senior Systems Engineer to join our Project Delivery Team.

- Plan and configure enterprise switching: VLANs, trunking/port-channels, STP/RSTP, routing, ACLs, QoS.
- Rack/stack, cable management, firmware/driver baselines, and golden image preparation.
- OS installation and hardening (RHEL/Alma/Ubuntu, Windows Server), AD/DNS/DHCP integration, GPOs where relevant.
- Hyper-V host/cluster build, VM templates, networking (vSwitch), and storage presentation.
- Automation for repeatable builds (e.g., Bash/PowerShell, Ansible preferred) and runbooks.
- Produce full project documentation: LLDs, as-built, network/stencil diagrams, installation & admin manuals, SOPs, backup/restore guides.
- Conduct FAT/SAT, performance, and failover testing, and remediate findings.
- Deliver knowledge transfer to the internal support team.
- Apply OS and network hardening best practices, patch/firmware governance.
- Ensure delivery artifacts align with contractual, security, and regulatory requirements (e.g., ISO/IEC 27001 controls, GDPR data handling where applicable).
