Interview Process: Do not know what the interview process is yet - I would tell candidates to be prepared for at least (2).
AM Updates:- This is a heads-up, backfill for someone on Mark Glenn's team that is out for health reasons.
- This position is VERY field service/support heavy. The candidate will absolutely be traveling around to different sites ti support.
The role is field-based in the Mid-Atlantic region, so the person will travel to multiple sites rather than being tied to a single desk.
Because it’s hands-on network support (switches, routers, circuits, closets), the expectation is that the candidate will work onsite at client or regional sites as needed.
