Job Responsibilities

Position Summary

The Network Administrator supports reliable, secure, and high-performing network and voice services for a higher education campus. This is a hands-on, field-forward role with significant responsibility for cable plant and physical-layer troubleshooting, along with configuration and operational support of wired and wireless networking, VoIP/UC, and connected campus systems. The ideal candidate is organized, customer-focused, comfortable working directly with end users, and motivated to learn new technologies and grow professionally.

Essential Duties & Responsibilities

Campus Network Operations & Customer Support

Provide day-to-day support for campus wired and wireless services across academic, administrative, and residential spaces; respond to incidents and service requests using a ticketing system.
Work directly with end users (faculty, staff, students) to gather symptoms, set expectations, communicate clearly, and confirm service restoration.
Troubleshoot issues across OSI Layers 1–3 using a structured approach (isolate, test, remediate, validate, document).

Cable Plant & Physical Layer

Maintain and troubleshoot the campus cable plant (copper, fiber, and analog telephony) in outdoor spaces, buildings, and MDF/IDF spaces.
Troubleshoot and perform basic repairs for analog telephony, Ethernet copper, and fiber cabling (mis-patches, damaged connectors, intermittent links, excessive loss).
Apply structured cabling standards and best practices (labeling, cable management, bend radius, pathway awareness, rack/closet organization, strain relief, grounding/bonding awareness).
Use test equipment to diagnose and validate cabling/connectivity (cable certifier, tone, copper/fiber testers, optical power meter; etc.) and document results.
Read and interpret drawings, floor plans, riser diagrams, rack elevations, and schematics to support troubleshooting and installations.

Network & Wireless Configuration / Field Implementation

Install, configure, and support switches, routers, wireless equipment, and related infrastructure in accordance with documented standards and change practices.
Perform switchport configuration (VLANs, trunking, PoE, port profiles), basic routing and switching management tasks, and wireless troubleshooting as assigned.
Monitor network health using management and monitoring tools; review alerts and logs, take corrective action, and escalate complex issues appropriately.

Voice / Unified Communications (CUCM & Webex Calling)

Support VoIP/UC operations including provisioning and troubleshooting IP phones and endpoints (registration, connectivity, and basic call-flow isolation).
Assist with adds/moves/changes and operational tasks in CUCM and Webex Calling; coordinate with senior staff for complex changes/outages.

Connected Systems (Security Cameras, Access Control, IoT)

Provide network-side support for security cameras, access control, and IoT/edge devices (VLAN assignment, switchport configuration, PoE troubleshooting, connectivity validation).

Documentation, Organization & Continuous Improvement

Maintain accurate “living” documentation (closet/rack layouts, patching/labeling records, device inventory, port assignments, and diagrams).
Review technical documentation (release notes/advisories) and participate in upgrades and maintenance windows with appropriate communication and documentation.

Education / Experience

Required Qualifications

Associate degree in IT, Networking, Telecommunications, or related field and 3–5 years of relevant experience, or an equivalent combination of education, certifications, and hands-on experience.
Demonstrated experience with structured cabling and physical-layer troubleshooting for copper, fiber, and analog telephony.
Practical experience using test equipment to diagnose/validate cabling and connectivity and documenting results.
Working knowledge of networking fundamentals (OSI Layers 1–3, VLANs, IP addressing/subnetting, DHCP/DNS basics).
Ability to read and interpret technical documentation, drawings, and schematics.

Preferred Qualifications

Bachelor’s degree in a related field.
Experience in higher education or a similarly complex multi-building enterprise environment.
CCNA or equivalent demonstrated networking competency.
Cisco Meraki experience (Dashboard administration, templates/standards, switching and wireless troubleshooting)
Experience supporting CUCM and/or Webex Calling (provisioning, registration issues, basic troubleshooting).
Experience supporting network-connected security cameras and access control systems in partnership with vendors/campus departments.
