  • Coordinate with local IT teams, facilities, and third-party cabling contractors on low voltage and structured cabling requirements
  • Support wireless security implementation: 802.1X, RADIUS authentication, guest network segmentation, and WLAN security hardening
  • Maintain and contribute to the global wireless asset inventory and CMDB records

  • Working knowledge of wireless security standards: WPA3, 802.1X, RADIUS, EAP methods, certificate-based authentication
