Other activities will include attendance at OTD staff meetings and/or planning meetings.

Any Network Engineer on-site at a TOC will have full access to and significant privileges on VDOT systems. Therefore, the Network Engineer and all other contract staff are subject to a finger print check prior to commencing duties at a TOC location. System and network security are paramount and must be maintained. At any time, VDOT reserves the right to immediately discontinue use of the current Network Engineer should VDOT deem their actions to be disruptive to the operation or in violation of VDOT policies and procedures.

The responsibilities of the Network Engineer will include maintenance of all current network hardware and software at the TOC as well as new hardware and software which will be installed in the future. These services will be primarily for central control room hardware, communications infrastructure, and software. Field equipment maintenance is primarily performed by other personnel.

Over time, additional field equipment will be added to the TOC. The Network Engineer will be responsible for supporting the testing, configuration management, and troubleshooting associated with the integration of the new equipment with the TOC central software.

Work in the System Integration area may include writing specifications, preparing drawings, providing procurement support, and installing and configuring equipment.

• Setup and configure each piece of equipment. This may include the installation of an operating system or other COTS software. It may also include the setting of configuration parameters, such as IP routing parameters in the network switch. The Network Engineer will record any setup parameters used in configuring the equipment.
• Test the system configuration to verify that each piece of equipment is connected and configured as specified.

Cyber Security is a rapidly increasing area of focus for VDOT. The Network Engineer will be expected to be current with emerging security trends, issues and alerts. Other expectations include:

• Ability to communicate known security risks and solutions to leadership in order to mitigate risks to business and technology partners as needed.
