No. Both jobs seem the same, but they aren't. A network administrator is responsible for managing, maintaining and overseeing the smooth functioning of the organization's computer network. They are referred to as IT experts. They coordinate and connect different computer systems within the firm and monitor the devices' communication process or data flow. On the other hand, a network engineer is responsible for implementing, monitoring and managing the computer network connections. They create system configuration, document and manage the new network installation or upgrade the existing system. They continuously monitor and optimize network performances by strictly maintaining security and access policies.
