About The Position

Evans is hiring a Network Engineer to support a growing contract with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). The role supports deployment of an air traffic support system in a fast-paced, mission-critical environment and serves as a key technical resource during network installation, integration, testing, and commissioning. The position is mostly remote, with approximately 20% domestic travel anticipated for FAA site installations, network integration, commissioning, troubleshooting, and deployment activities. Travel also includes occasional visits to the Department of Transportation Headquarters in Washington, D.C., and FAA Headquarters in Egg Harbor Township, New Jersey. The engineer provides technical support through the deployment lifecycle, including network diagnostics, site-readiness coordination, field team support, and collaboration with telecommunications providers, local administrators, engineering stakeholders, and project teams. The role also supports hardware installation, infrastructure integration, commissioning, and documentation, while helping maintain operational continuity and following established change-control and deployment procedures. Evans describes itself as a growing firm partnering with federal agencies to implement technology, develop workforces, and drive organizational change. The company emphasizes curiosity, accountability, integrity, creativity, honesty, service, collaboration, innovation, flexibility, wellness, and ongoing learning and professional growth. Candidates must be U.S. citizens or hold a U.S. permanent residency card. Employees may be required to hold a specific security clearance depending on their assignment. Interviews and assessments require candidates to be on camera, and Evans may take a picture to verify identity and prevent fraud. The projected annualized compensation range is $140,000 to $160,000. Compensation depends on factors including location, education, knowledge, skills, competencies, experience, contract affordability, and organizational requirements.
