accountability for network design

A principal network engineer takes on full responsibility and accountability for network design, creation, installation, and maintenance. Usually managing a team of network engineers, the principal network engineer is tasked with identifying the client’s infrastructure needs and designing a network that meets – or exceeds – their requirements.

Being a principal network engineer is a managerial role, so there are additional tasks that you’ll need to take on. You may be required to train other network engineers, for example, present your findings and proposals to clients or shareholders and author reports detailing how projects were undertaken.
