Our client is a leading provider of building technologies and energy solutions, delivering integrated systems that support security, life safety, and energy management for commercial customers across North America. Now backed by a global technology powerhouse, they are actively modernizing their own infrastructure while continuing to deliver innovative solutions to customers. The Opportunity This is not a "keep the lights on" IT role. We're looking for a network-focused engineer with a systems integrator mindsetto join on a contract-to-hire basis. The ideal candidate is someone who thrives in diverse environments, enjoys solving problems in real-time, and can bridge the gap between traditional IT networking and operational technology (OT) systems. You'll be responsible for two critical areas: Customer Integration: Deploy and integrate OT solutions (access control, surveillance, energy management) into a wide variety of customer network environments. Every project is different - you'll encounter different stacks, quirks, and challenges that require flexibility and creativity. Internal Transformation: Support ongoing network migration projects as the organization transitions from legacy infrastructure into a global enterprise backbone, ensuring reliability, scalability, and security. This is a role for someone who likes building, not babysitting - someone energized by new challenges and the opportunity to make disparate systems work together. What You'll Do Act as the networking lead for deploying and integrating OT systems into customer environments. Configure and troubleshoot firewalls, routers, switches, VPNs, and wireless systems across heterogeneous stacks. Navigate and configure non-standard OT devices (web UIs, proprietary control panels, limited interfaces). Partner with customer IT/security teams to ensure reliable, secure connectivity between OT and IT systems. Support backend migration projects aligning legacy systems with global enterprise standards. Document architectures, share knowledge, and mentor junior administrators. Collaborate cross-functionally with IT, security, and facilities teams. What We're Looking For 6+ years in network engineering with exposure across multiple stacks (not just one ecosystem). Background in systems integration, field engineering, or industrial/OT environments highly preferred. Proven ability to work in ambiguous, variable environments and deliver results. Hands-on expertise with firewalls, VPNs, switching, routing, and wireless infrastructure. Experience configuring or supporting OT devices (access control, surveillance, EMS, IoT-like systems). Strong troubleshooting, documentation, and communication skills. Self-starter who enjoys problem-solving in complex, non-standard environments. Relevant certifications (CCNA/CCNP, Microsoft, etc.) are a plus but not required. Why Join Work on cutting-edge projects at the intersection of IT networking and OT systems. Be part of a company that is both modernizing internally and innovating for customers. Collaborate with passionate teams in an environment that values flexibility, problem-solving, and hands-on engineering.
