Role SummaryWe're looking for a technically solid and people-first Systems Administrator to join our IT team. You'll be the backbone of day-to-day infrastructure operations — keeping systems running, networks healthy, and users happy. This role is a great fit for someone who loves solving real problems, communicates clearly with non-technical staff, and takes pride in both their uptime and their relationships.
You'll manage a hybrid environment spanning on-premises and cloud infrastructure, with a healthy mix of hands-on technical work and direct user engagement. No ticket gets closed without the person on the other end actually feeling helped.
Responsibilities and Duties
Systems Administration
- Manage and maintain Windows Server environments including Active Directory, Group Policy, DNS, and DHCP including Dell, HP, and Nutanix hardware and infrastructure.
- Administer Microsoft 365 services — Exchange Online, Teams, SharePoint, Intune/Endpoint Management
- Handle user lifecycle management: provisioning, offboarding, permissions, and license assignment
- Monitor system health and performance; respond to alerts and escalate when needed

- Support hybrid AD / Azure AD (Entra ID) environments including device sync and conditional access
Networking
- Troubleshoot LAN/WAN connectivity, VLAN configuration, and wireless infrastructure (Meraki or similar)
- Assist with firewall rule management, VPN configuration, and remote access solutions
- Support network-based authentication (NPS/RADIUS, certificate-based Wi-Fi, 802.1X)
- Work with vendors on circuit issues, outages, and hardware replacements
- Document network topology, IP schemes, and change records
End User Support & Experience
- Serve as a senior escalation point for helpdesk tickets — own issues through to resolution
- Communicate clearly with non-technical users: explain the what, the why, and the timeline
- Identify recurring issues and implement proactive fixes, not just band-aids
- Maintain a well-organized knowledge base and contribute to team documentation
- Onboard new staff with a polished, consistent setup experience
- Gather feedback and advocate for user-impacting improvements to tools and processes
