• Produce clear technical documentation, including network designs, runbooks, and standard operating procedures.
• Contribute network and security asset records into the IT Asset Management (ITAM) framework and CMDB. 
• Coordinate with vendors and local Cisco partners on procurement, support contracts, and complex deployments. 

Wireless and emerging needs

• Plan and deploy enterprise wireless infrastructure to support office, factory, and guest networks. 
• Support the integration of Safetrust's own access management products into the corporate environment where applicable.
