Network Engineer for Digital Transformation

Would you like to join a new team aiming to create innovation that will have a major impact on society, both in Japan and globally?

One of our top clients, a well-established company driving digital transformation in one of Japan’s core industries, is currently looking for a Network Engineer to help build and operate the next-generation network infrastructure supporting its large-scale digital transformation initiatives.

A company that has historically worked closely with external vendors has now decided to build its own internal technology organization, covering not only digital initiatives but also infrastructure and security.

As the first step of this transformation, the company has welcomed a new CIO who previously served as Group CIO at a major global enterprise. Together with one of Japan’s top technology leaders, they are currently forming a new “mega-team” to drive the company’s technology strategy and digital transformation.

Responsibilities

As an IT network specialist, you will be responsible for building and maintaining a stable network environment that supports smooth business operations.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, build, and operate WAN, Internet connections, and wired / wireless LAN networks for office buildings
• Design, build, and manage data center networks connecting multiple locations
• Design, build, and operate site-to-site VPN connections that allow external offices and partners to access internal systems
• Improve network monitoring, visualization, and operational efficiency
• Evaluate and introduce new technologies and network products

The IT department currently consists of approximately 28 members (a mix team with foreigners and Japaneses professionals)

About the Company

The company is currently promoting a company-wide digital transformation initiative, aiming to improve operational efficiency, sustainability, and productivity by adopting advanced technologies.

While the company has historically focused on construction and trading businesses, it is now actively expanding into digital services and web-based businesses as a new strategic pillar for future growth.

The CEO represents a new generation of leadership and earned his degree in the United States. He has a deep understanding of the importance of digital transformation in the construction industry and promotes a corporate culture where employees can feel a sense of purpose and fulfillment by contributing to society.
