Network Field Engineer
Location: Full-Time On-Site (Fort Worth, TX) with Project-Site Travel
Reports to: Network Operations Manager
About the Client
Engtal is partnering with a Fort Worth-based manufacturer that is changing how buildings are powered. Instead of traditional AC electrical wiring, our client's platform delivers lighting, networking, and building controls over converged low-voltage DC cabling, which is the same class of cable that runs modern office networks today.
The result is buildings that use roughly 25% less energy, cost less to build out, and are smarter from day one. Their systems are live in hotels, schools, warehouses, and offices across the country, including the first DC-microgrid-powered hotel in the United States. As their project pipeline grows, they are looking for a Network Field Engineer to help commission these buildings and keep customers and installer partners running smoothly after handoff.
What You'll Do
* Commission smart-building projects—including schools, warehouses, hotels, and offices—from an active construction site to a fully operational network.
* Configure and validate on-site networks, including managed switch setup, VLAN segmentation, DHCP, and IP addressing schemes.
* Bring PoE lighting, shades, access control, and other building systems online while working alongside electricians and system integrators in the field.
* Troubleshoot link issues, misconfigured devices, and cabling faults under real job-site conditions.
* Stage and pre-configure equipment at the Fort Worth facility between site visits.
* Provide remote support to customers and installer partners after project handoff.
* Build the documentation—such as network diagrams, IP schedules, and how-to guides—that makes every following project faster for the team.
_Note on Experience Level:_ Our client is open regarding experience level. Seasoned engineers will run projects independently from an early stage, while candidates earlier in their career with solid fundamentals will be trained on the company's platform, standards, and low-voltage building systems.
Required Skills & Experience
* 2+ years of hands-on experience in networking, low-voltage systems, or IT field work.
* Working knowledge of VLANs, DHCP, subnetting, and IP addressing schemes.
* Experience configuring managed switches via CLI and web GUI.
* Experience diagnosing and resolving network issues, including link problems, misconfigured devices, and cabling faults.
* Comfortable with hands-on field work, including ladders, lifts, ceiling spaces, and test equipment.
* Strong documentation habits to create network diagrams, IP schedules, and configurations that others on the team can easily follow.
* Self-directed and dependable, with the ability to stay productive on a small team without close supervision.
* Valid driver's license and ability to travel to project sites, including occasional overnight trips.
Nice to Have
* Experience with PoE lighting, lighting controls, or other smart-building systems.
* Time spent working on enterprise switching platforms such as Allied Telesis, Cisco, or similar.
* CCNA, Network+, RCDD, or BICSI credentials.
* Familiarity with low-voltage / Class 2 (or Class 4 Fault Managed Power) systems and structured cabling standards, such as NEC Article 726.
* Experience working on active construction sites alongside electricians and low-voltage contractors.
Why Join the Team?
* Work on infrastructure that is genuinely new—not just another IT overlay, but a full rethink of how buildings get powered, wired, and controlled.
* Join a small, technical team where your work ships to real buildings quickly, and your documentation and fixes directly shape how the next project runs.
* Gain direct exposure to the standards and platforms shaping the future of low-voltage building infrastructure, including NEC 726, IEEE 802.3bt, and Fault Managed Power.
* Enjoy room to grow professionally as the company scales
