TheProfessional ServicesEngineer is the face of Modern IT in the field. When a client is cutting over to new infrastructure, refreshing their devices, or standingup a new network environment, they are experiencing Modern IT in the most visible, tangible way. What happens in those moments - how cleanly the work is executed, how clearly expectations are set, how well the environment is documented and handed off - shapes what the client believes about us long after the project closes.

At Modern IT, we believe this work demands more than technical execution. It demands someone who thinks about quality, client communication, and continuous improvement in equal measure. We are building a Professional Services team led by engineers who combine technical depth, deployment precision, field leadership, and a commitment to leaving every environment better than theyfound it.

Through disciplined execution and healthyutilization, this role directly generates the non-recurring revenue that Professional Services is planned to deliver.

This role is for the seniorProfessional Servicesengineer who has seen enough sloppy deployments to know there is a better way.

You may already be the person clients trust most onsite - the one who asks good questions before touching anything, who labels cables without being asked, who flags a scope issue before it becomes a project blowup. You enjoy the technical challenge of deployment work, but you also take pride in how the engagement feels from the client's side.

You do not want to spend your career executing deployments that are forgotten by the next quarter. You want to builda track recordof clean handoffs, satisfied clients, and projects that close on time and on budget. You care about documentation because you understand that what is not captured does not exist.

You are also someone who wants to grow, and you recognize that the bestProfessional Services engineertoday understand not just hardware and networking, but endpoint management, identity, device lifecycle, and how all of it ties back to the client's long‑term environment health.

If you are energized by field execution, client trust, technical ownership, and the opportunity to set a higher standard for how MSP project delivery looks and feels, this role was built for you.
