  • Analyze customer business and technical needs and implement appropriate network and systems solutions
  • Support environments across multiple architectures and technologies

Security & User Management

  • Implement network security best practices and respond to security issues
  • Maintain system integrity, availability, and compliance

Troubleshooting & Support

  • Troubleshoot and resolve complex network and server issues
  • Provide escalation support for advanced technical problems
  • Act as a technical liaison between customers, internal teams, and vendors

Documentation & Leadership

  • Develop and maintain detailed documentation for network designs, configurations, and processes
  • Mentor and support junior technical staff
  • Contribute to standards, best practices, and continuous improvement initiatives

Required Qualifications

  • 2–4 years of hands-on experience installing and supporting computer networking and communications equipment
  • Recent, practical experience with:
    • Firewalls, switches, and routers
    • Server and network deployments in production environments
  • Demonstrated end-to-end setup experience, including hardware installation, configuration, testing, and go-live support
  • Strong troubleshooting skills for complex network and server issues

Preferred Education & Certifications

  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Information Systems or a related field (preferred)
    • Equivalent combination of education, training, and experience accepted
  • Microsoft and/or Cisco industry certifications (preferred)

Technical Skills

Required

  • LAN/WAN/Wi-Fi design and configuration
  • Firewall, switch, and router setup and deployment
  • Windows Server 2008 / 2012
  • Network security and user management
  • Technical documentation and process development

Plus / Nice to Have
