• Conduct system analysis, research new technologies, and propose design enhancements to improve performance and reliability.
• Maintain accurate configuration and change documentation throughout all deployments.
• Provide technical guidance, mentorship, and support to IT and networking staff.
• Perform hands‑on physical tasks as needed (e.g., routing and stacking cables, moving tiles, racking equipment).
• Present technical findings and recommendations to management and non‑technical stakeholders.
