Network Designer Job at Randstad (Calgary)

Job Description

As a Network Designer, you will bridge the gap between business objectives and technical execution. This role demands deep technical expertise across routing, switching, WAN, and modern network architectures. You will take ownership of the end-to-end design lifecycle—producing both High-Level Designs (HLD) and Low-Level Designs (LLD), evaluating emerging technologies, and providing technical leadership on complex network transformation projects. This is an exceptional opportunity for a self-driven engineer looking to make a measurable impact on a large-scale enterprise network.

Job Responsibility

Design and develop scalable, resilient network solutions across LAN, WAN, and Data Center environments
Produce comprehensive High-Level Design (HLD) and Low-Level Design (LLD) documentation with explicit, actionable implementation guidance
Evaluate and recommend cutting-edge network technologies, hardware platforms, and strategic vendors
Ensure all technical designs strictly align with enterprise architecture standards and corporate security policies
Partner with project managers, cross-functional stakeholders, and operations teams to deliver seamless network solutions
Lead or contribute heavily to the end-to-end design lifecycle, from initial requirements gathering to operational handoff
Provide technical leadership and mentorship on complex initiatives and large-scale network transformation projects
Integrate secure design principles into every architecture layer (e.g., Network Segmentation, Zero Trust, and Access Control)
Support capacity planning, network performance analysis, and identify opportunities to optimize reliability and cost efficiency
Collaborate with operations teams to troubleshoot high-level escalated network issues when required
Maintain accurate, up-to-date network diagrams, technical documentation templates, and design guidelines

Requirements

5+ years of dedicated experience in network design, engineering, or enterprise architecture
Proven track record designing enterprise-scale networks within multi-site, hybrid, or cloud-connected environments
Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Information Technology, or equivalent professional experience
Strong, authoritative knowledge of BGP, OSPF, and EIGRP
Deep understanding of VLANs, STP, VXLAN, and MPLS
Practical experience with IPSec, SD-WAN, and Internet-based VPNs
Familiarity with modern data center setups, including spine-leaf and fabric-based networking
Hands-on or design-level exposure to firewalls, Network Access Control (NAC), and cloud environments (AWS or Azure)
Familiarity with scripting and automation tools such as Python and Ansible

Nice to have

Experience with Software-Defined Networking (SDN) and intent-based networking
Practical exposure to network observability and advanced telemetry platforms
