Lund, Sweden | On-site | Long-term assignment (Oct 2026 – Sep 2027, strong extension potential)
About the role
We're looking for an experienced network operations specialist to join a large-scale Infrastructure Services team for one of our clients - a global industrial technology company based in Lund. This is a hands-on, operationally critical role: you'll be the person keeping a sprawling enterprise network environment stable, secure, and running, across Cisco and HPE Aruba infrastructure.
You'll work close to the metal - configuring, monitoring, troubleshooting - while also coordinating with internal IT teams and external telecom providers to keep everything within SLA. If you like solving real problems in a live, 24x7-critical environment rather than just writing documentation about them, this is built for you.
What you'll actually be doing
- Day-to-day administration of enterprise-scale Cisco and HPE Aruba networks
- Configuring and maintaining HPE Aruba environments, including SD-WAN
- Managing Cisco Nexus infrastructure
- Keeping switches, routers, and wireless infrastructure (controllers + APs) healthy and fast
- Working inside Cisco ISE, Prime, and DNAC for network management and security
- Driving incidents to resolution within SLA, using ServiceNow and ITIL-based processes (Incident, Problem, Change, Knowledge Management)
- Liaising directly with telecom providers on WAN/connectivity issues
- Contributing to proactive failure detection and planned maintenance, not just firefighting
What we're looking for
- 10+ years of hands-on enterprise network operations experience
- Strong command of Cisco switching/routing, including STP and VTP
- Solid WAN technology knowledge
- Practical experience with HPE Aruba - Aruba SD-WAN experience is a strong plus
- Hands-on Cisco Nexus experience
- Comfort administering Cisco wireless infrastructure (controllers, APs)
- Familiarity with Cisco ISE, Prime, and DNAC
- ITSM experience, ideally with ServiceNow, and solid ITIL process knowledge
- A track record of resolving network incidents against defined SLAs
- Strong, independent troubleshooting instincts
Nice to have
- Scripting/automation skills (Python a plus)
- Experience in large, complex enterprise network environments
- Background in 24x7 network operations or infrastructure support
Practical details
- Location: On-site in Lund - this is not a remote role
- Workload: Full-time, 40h/week
- Start: As soon as possible
- Note: A pre-assignment drug test is required
- Some flexibility across time zones/holidays may be needed given 24x7 coverage
