If you thrive in a fast-paced environment with diverse technologies and enjoy building strong client relationships, we’d like to hear from you.

  • Strong understanding of TCP/IP, routing protocols, and VPN technologies.
  • Hands-on experience with firewall vendors (Watchguard, Cisco, Fortinet, Palo Alto, SonicWall, or similar).
  • Proficiency in Microsoft 365, Exchange Online, and hybrid AD environments.
  • Experience with virtualization (VMware, Hyper-V) and cloud platforms (Azure/AWS).
  • Familiarity with RMM/PSA tools (ConnectWise, Halo, Kaseya, N-central, Datto, etc.).
  • Strong troubleshooting and customer service skills; ability to explain technical issues to non-technical users.
  • Relevant certifications (CCNA/CCNP, CompTIA Network+/Security+, MCSA/MCSE, Azure/AWS certs) are a plus.
  • This is an Onsite position as travel to customer sites will be required.

Benefits
