About The Position

Support plant and branch network infrastructure and coordinate infrastructure projects across Pratt’s manufacturing sites, including corrugated plants, sheet plants, and mills. Work on site with plant personnel, contractors, and the network engineering team to deliver cabling, IDF, switching, wireless, and server room work. Keep projects moving from initial scoping through handoff. The role is field-based, with frequent travel to local and remote sites. Work at plants may involve noise, heights, and PPE requirements. Some off-hours work may be needed for change windows, and participation in an on-call rotation is required to respond to after-hours network issues. The role does not own network architecture, firewall programming, SD-WAN or cloud design, or PLC programming; those responsibilities remain with the network engineering team and plant controls staff.
