Our client has divested several Michigan-based hospitals, requiring a coordinated network transition. The project involves port flips and reconfiguration of existing Extreme Networks switches, migrating hospital sites off the old network and onto the new network. The work is primarily configuration-focused, follows a defined schedule, and is supported by a broader engineering team for escalations or mixed-model challenges.

Key Responsibilities

• Perform port flips and switch reconfiguration to migrate hospital sites from Ascension’s network to Beacon Health’s network

• Configure and support Extreme Networks switches, primarily:

  • ERS 4850

  • ERS 4950

  • Additional Extreme models as encountered

• Execute predefined network changes while adhering to a strict project schedule

• Validate connectivity and proper port behavior post-migration

• Coordinate with a broader engineering team for:

  • OS/version differences

  • Model-specific nuances

  • Escalations beyond Level 2 scope

• Follow change procedures and maintain clear communication during cutover activities

Required Skills & Experience

• Hands-on experience with Extreme Networks switching

• Direct experience with ERS 4850 / ERS 4950 strongly preferred

• Solid understanding of:

  • VLANs

  • Port configuration

  • Network cutovers and migrations

• Comfortable working in structured, production environments (healthcare experience a plus)

• Able to work independently while collaborating with a distributed team

Nice to Have

• Exposure to healthcare network environments

• Familiarity with multi-vendor or mixed Extreme OS environments

• Prior experience supporting divestitures, acquisitions, or large-scale network migrations
