Overview

Our Edmonton-based client is seeking a highly experienced Network Security Consultant / Cisco-Meraki SME to lead the assessment, redesign, and remediation of a complex enterprise network environment. This role requires a hands-on consultant who can quickly evaluate the current state, identify risks and technical debt, develop a practical future-state architecture, and help execute the required improvements.

This is not a documentation-heavy architecture role. The successful consultant will be expected to move rapidly from discovery and design into implementation while working closely with internal technical stakeholders.

• Evaluate current Cisco Meraki infrastructure, configurations, and design decisions
• Identify network, security, operational, and scalability risks
• Review current segmentation strategy and recommend improvements
• Assess and remediate IT and OT network separation concerns
• Design and implement VLAN, routing, and access-control improvements
• Develop practical, future-state network architecture and implementation roadmap
• Lead remediation activities and support execution of approved changes
• Collaborate with internal technical resources and stakeholders throughout the engagement
• Provide knowledge transfer and guidance to internal team members
• Assist in establishing network governance, standards, and best practices

Required Experience

• 10+ years of progressive network infrastructure experience
• Proven experience as a Network Architect, Senior Network Consultant, or Network SME
• Strong Cisco networking expertise
• Deep hands-on experience with Cisco Meraki environments
• Experience conducting network assessments and architecture reviews
• Strong knowledge of network segmentation, security zones, and access controls
• Experience designing and implementing VLAN strategies
• Experience troubleshooting and remediating complex network environments
• Strong understanding of routing, switching, firewalls, and enterprise networking principles
• Ability to develop practical architecture recommendations and execute implementation activities
• Experience working directly with technical and business stakeholders

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with network modernization or transformation initiatives
• Experience remediating environments with significant technical debt
• Exposure to OT, surveillance, physical security, or operational technology environments
• Experience with multi-site enterprise environments
• Ubiquiti wireless networking experience
• Relevant Cisco certifications (CCNP, CCIE, or equivalent) considered an asset
