Job Details

What We Are Looking For:

This role is primarily rack and stack of Cisco network equipment. We're adding six techs to support a major switch refresh at a premier sports and entertainment venue in Foxborough, MA. You'll mount switches, connect power, stacking, copper, and fiber, then confirm the rack position and ports with the network engineer by phone and verify that each switch comes up. Configuration is handled by the engineering team, so this is hands-on hardware work, not network design or programming. The right person has done rack and stack before, follows instructions precisely, and keeps closets clean and well labeled.

Fully onsite, standard business hours, starting January 2027.
