- Collaborate with architects, network engineers, and cybersecurity experts to create secure, compliant infrastructure designs that align with NERC/CIP standards.

- Support and configure networks during deployments, including VLAN tagging, IP planning, switch setup, and firewall rules.

- Maintain and enhance build pipelines and provisioning frameworks to improve efficiency, accuracy, and auditability while documenting processes and system changes.

- Monitor, troubleshoot, and remediate issues to ensure system health, while also supporting audits and compliance activities with technical evidence.

To be a successful Infrastructure Build Analyst (Network), we are looking for:

- Bachelor’s degree in Information Technology, Computer Science or related field, or 3+ years of relevant work experience in infrastructure/system administration roles, with a focus on automation and secure build practices.

- Hands-on experience with automation tools such as Ansible, PowerShell, Bash, Python, Terraform, or similar.

- Understanding of networking fundamentals (TCP/IP, DNS, DHCP, VLANs, routing, firewall basics).

- Experience with virtualization technologies (e.g., VMware, Hyper-V) and operating systems (Windows, Linux).

Other Experiences Include

- Knowledge of critical infrastructure systems (SCADA, EMS, or similar) along with knowledge of DevOps/CI/CD practices in secure, regulated environments.

- CCNA, Microsoft, VMware or hands-on experience with CMDBs, ticketing systems, and version control tools like Git.

Appropriate level will be determined based upon experience, knowledge, and skills.
