The mission of the NOC is to provide capacity to the grid by reducing customers’ electricity consumption when needed on an emergency basis. We execute this mission by developing appropriate protocols, validating them with rigorous testing, and then executing them flawlessly when called.

In order to provide this capacity, we meter energy demand at each of our 2000+ customer sites and, at many sites, we use this connection to remotely reduce our customers’ energy consumption. A robust and highly available network, therefore, is the foundation of our business and it is critical for this network to be operational at all times.

Key Responsibilities:

The Network Administrator will perform 3 primary functions:

1. Ensuring connectivity and data quality

* Monitoring our network of 1400+ remote devices that communicate via the cellular, DSL and the customer’s LAN and VPN connections.
* Configuring VPN site-to-site tunnel communications with customers.
* Configuring Cisco PIX firewalls.
* Troubleshooting connectivity issues.
* Performing root cause analysis and developing plans for improvements to our networking strategy.
* Configuring communications devices.

* Updating customer contact information.

3. Executing demand response events

* Learning Demand Response protocols and program rules.

The Network Administrator will become an expert in EnerNOC’s core operational processes, and will develop a deep understanding of the issues surrounding load curtailment, emergency backup generation, and demand response programs across the nation.

During demand response events, our commercial and industrial power providers rely on us to notify them immediately, to monitor and support their load curtailment activities, and in many cases to remotely control their equipment and power generation during potential blackout situations. The activities of our NOC must therefore be executed flawlessly.

Required Qualifications/Skills/Education:

* BA/BS in computer networking, engineering, computer science or other technical field.
* 5-10 years as a Network Administrator, IT specialist, Level 2 or 3 Network Support Technician, or other similar experience.
