ResponsibilitiesMid-level Network / Desktop Administrator to support and maintain enterprise network and end-user computing infrastructure. This is a hybrid role combining hands-on switching and network support with desktop/endpoint administration. The ideal candidate is comfortable working across the stack — from configuring VLANs and port security on Cisco switches to imaging endpoints and troubleshooting Windows 10/11 clients — while delivering responsive, professional customer support to end users. This role balances infrastructure work with day-to-day operational support and requires someone who can work independently on routine tasks and escalate appropriately on complex issues.

- Support and help maintain VDI / thin-client infrastructure, including endpoint provisioning and connectivity troubleshooting.
- Perform endpoint imaging and deployment via PXE boot and associated deployment tooling.
- Administer Windows 10 and Windows 11 endpoints, including configuration, troubleshooting, and lifecycle support.
- Execute patch management and remediate vulnerabilities in response to IAVAs, ensuring systems remain compliant with security baselines and STIGs.
- Use CLI and administrative tooling — PuTTY, PowerShell, and Windows CMD — for configuration, diagnostics, and routine automation.
- Support STE/STN environment and associated operational procedures.
- Perform Active Directory tasks such as account and group management, OU navigation, and basic Group Policy awareness.
- Document configurations, procedures, and changes; follow existing standards and conventions.
