- Manage network components, legacy server resources, patching schedules, backup processes, and overall system uptime.
- Support cybersecurity and facility-related security technologies such as surveillance and controlled entry systems.
- Provide day-to-day guidance to an IT team member at the beginning of their career while encouraging effective support practices and technical growth.
- Communicate priorities, risks, and technical updates clearly to leadership, department teams, and non-technical users.
Requirements
- At least 5 years of IT experience spanning infrastructure, end-user support, systems administration, and security.
- Proven success in a hands-on IT leadership or senior generalist role within a small to mid-sized business environment.
- Strong knowledge of Microsoft technologies, including Microsoft 365, Windows systems, servers, and endpoint administration.
- Solid background in networking, backup management, configuration control, and hardware support.
- Experience supporting IT issues across Tier 1 through Tier 3 levels with minimal ramp-up time.
