1.            Why is this position open? How is it impacting the business?

               This is a LAN replacement position.  The LAN team has a broad set of responsibilities that include Campus, wired, wireless and Data Center (domestic and international).  Without the resource the LAN team isn’t able to continue to improve the network and move on strategic initiatives.

2.            Please describe the project work, and what do day-to-day responsibilities look like:

               On an average day 65% to 70% of the day is focused on strategic work (project work).  The other 30% to 35% is spent on operational issues.  The team is currently engaged in F5 refresh, CoLo move, preparing for WF integration, Device Segmentation, and WLC refresh.  PFG is also looking for a candidate who is able to script to reduce the amount of manual work that needs to be consistently completed.  It’s a great time to be a part of putting their designs in place for the next 10 years so PFG becomes more Internet centric.

5.            What is the size and culture of the team?

-              The team is currently five people with this team member being the sixth.  The LAN team has three Senior techs and the two other staff are highly experienced.  They are a self sufficient team that tends to go off and work on separate projects but there is a sense of when they need to come together to work.  All team members bounce ideas off each other and are available to help peers troubleshoot issues when needed and no matter time of day.
