This full-time remote opportunity involves supporting MRP power plant assets located across strategic regions, including California, Virginia, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey, with a preference for candidates based in the Southwestern United States. Maintaining the seamless operation and high reliability of the networking infrastructure connecting these sites is vital to ensuring continuous power generation and optimal facility performance.

Opportunity Summary

The Network Engineer is responsible for proactively monitoring the performance and availability of the enterprise and power plant network infrastructure. This includes the installation, administration, support, planning, documentation, maintenance, and troubleshooting of network systems to ensure stable, reliable, efficient, and secure operations.

This role involves providing remote support along with onsite assistance that requires travel to a widely distributed fleet of power generation facilities across multiple regions, focusing primarily on maintaining seamless connectivity and reliable network infrastructure for these essential sites.

Your scope of responsibility as Network Engineer includes the following primary functions:

NAES Safe

Employees must also adhere to all safety warnings and posted signs while on company property. Additionally, they are required to follow all NAES safety rules and procedures. Adherence to these safety responsibilities is one of the key factors in the evaluation of each employee’s performance.

Working Relationships
