We help organizations operate, secure, and modernize complex environments by unifying infrastructure, networking, data, security, automation, and observability under a single, integrated operating model. Our work focuses on helping customers reduce operational friction, improve resilience, and make better, faster decisions as their environments evolve. Arctiq builds on decades of industry expertise and a customer-centric ethos to deliver exceptional value to clients across diverse industries.\nPart detective, part field tech, part network explorer. We're re-addressing an entire enterprise network in Reno, and before we can change anything we have to find out exactly what's out there. We need a curious, hands-on person to be our eyes, hands and legs on site: open the racks, trace the cables, talk to the people, and help us uncover what's connected to what.\nThis is a short-term, onsite engagement in Reno, NV (starting ASAP through end of November, possibly into December) and a rare chance to see real enterprise servers, network gear, storage and platforms up close. No textbook has a rack this interesting.\nWhat you'll do\nWorking directly under a lead project consultant, you'll help close the gaps in our discovery:\nExplore the closets.Walk the server rooms and network closets, review servers and network devices, and photograph racks, labels, ports and cabling.\nFollow the cable.Trace cables from patch panels and switches to the endpoint on the other end, and document what you find.\nRun scripts.Execute simple scripts and PowerShell commands to collect device and system details, with guidance from the consultant.\nCollect data.Log in to servers (with provided access) to gather configuration and IP information.\nTalk to people.Meet end users and application owners to learn what systems do, what they connect to, and who depends on them.\nKeep the record clean.Log findings in shared trackers and spreadsheets so the team can plan the re-IP with confidence.\nJump in anywhere.Discovery is messy. If it helps the project, you'll probably get asked to do it.\nWhat you'll learn\nThis role is a crash course in how real enterprise IT fits together:\nHow servers, switches, routers, firewalls and storage are racked, cabled and labeled in the real world\nHow IP addressing, VLANs and subnets work across a live network\nPractical PowerShell and scripting for data collection\nHow infrastructure projects are run: discovery, documentation, daily standups and stakeholder communication\nHow to interview technical and non-technical people to get the answers you need\nYou'll finish with hands-on experience, a story for your resume, and exposure to a team of experienced consultants.\nWho you are\nAn experienced IT Professional or you're interested in technology and enjoy learning how systems work. This opportunity is a great fit for a current student or recent graduate looking to gain hands-on experience in IT infrastructure, networking, and technical operations.\nRequired Qualifications\nCurrently enrolled in or recently graduated from a technology-related program, or have equivalent hands-on technical experience\nAvailable to work onsite in Reno, NV, five days a week, approximately 7 AM-3 PM\nAble to handle light equipment and work in server rooms and network closets, including occasional kneeling, bending, and using a step stool\nComfortable communicating with others, asking questions, and approaching unfamiliar people\nOrganized, detail-oriented, and dependable, with a focus on documentation and accuracy\nAvailable to start immediately and work through the end of November, with a potential extension into December\nNice to Have\nBasic knowledge of networking, Windows or Linux administration, or scripting\nFamiliarity with PowerShell, command-line tools, or IP addressing\nRelevant coursework, labs, personal technology projects, a home lab, or help desk experience\nNo experience with enterprise gear? That's okay. Curiosity and follow-through matter more.\nLogistics\nLocation: Onsite, Reno, NV\nHours: About 7 AM to 3 PM, Monday to Friday\nDaily check-in: Status meeting at 7:30 AM\nStart date: As soon as possible\nDuration: Through end of November; possible extension into December\nReports to: Lead project consultant, who sets daily priorities\nCompensation: Varies based on experience","description_format":"text","description_chars":4581,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["IT Infrastructure & Networking Services","Systems Integrators","IT Resellers & VARs"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-22T11:16:48Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":99,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.993,"p_room":1,"age_days":2,"expected_fill_days":28,"reasons":["conf:1","urgency","velocity","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-10-25T05:49:26Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/arctiq-network-technician-smart-hands","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/arctiq-network-technician-smart-hands.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-25T19:34:19Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":27808,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-26T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":2029809},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=2029809"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Farctiq-network-technician-smart-hands"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Farctiq-network-technician-smart-hands"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Farctiq-network-technician-smart-hands"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/arctiq-network-technician-smart-hands\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Farctiq-network-technician-smart-hands"}]}
