Key Responsibilities

Project Leadership & Ownership

  • Take full ownership of assigned projects — including migrations, upgrades, and infrastructure enhancements — seeing each through from planning to successful completion
  • Lead projects hands-on rather than delegating from a distance; remain actively involved in the technical execution, not just oversight
  • Manage weekly onsite client visitations, serving as the primary technical point of contact during on-site engagements
  • Communicate clearly with clients throughout project lifecycles to set, manage, and meet expectations
  • Perform onsite installations and hands-on configuration work as part of project delivery

Technical Engineering & Infrastructure

  • Design, configure, and support virtualization environments as part of infrastructure projects
  • Support and help guide AI enablement initiatives within client environments
  • Configure and manage networking infrastructure directly, including firewalls, switches, VLANs, and ACLs
  • Hands-on configuration experience required with firewall/networking platforms such as SonicWall, HP, Meraki, and WatchGuard
  • Serve as the L3 escalation point for complex technical issues beyond L1/L2 scope

What We're Looking For

  • 5+ years of experience in systems engineering, network administration, or infrastructure support (MSP experience strongly preferred)
  • Proven experience leading and personally executing projects such as migrations, upgrades, and system enhancements from start to finish
  • Strong hands-on configuration experience with firewalls and networking equipment (SonicWall, HP, Meraki, WatchGuard, or similar)
  • Solid working knowledge of VLANs, ACLs, switching, and network security best practices
  • Experience with virtualization platforms and infrastructure design
  • Familiarity with AI enablement tools/technologies, or willingness to develop expertise in this area
  • Excellent client-facing communication skills, with the ability to manage expectations throughout a project
  • Comfortable working independently onsite and taking ownership of outcomes rather than just tasks
  • Relevant certifications (e.g., Cisco, Meraki, SonicWall, Microsoft) a plus
