  • Lead and execute IT projects end-to-end (migrations, deployments, upgrades, cloud transitions).
  • Implement and enforce security frameworks such as CMMC, NIST, and other compliance standards across client environments.
  • Troubleshoot escalated technical issues (L3) and mentor junior engineers.
  • Develop and maintain documentation for client systems, policies, and procedures.
  • Collaborate with internal teams and vendors to deliver solutions on time and within scope.
  • Monitor system performance and proactively address vulnerabilities, outages, or compliance gaps.

  • 5+ years of experience as a Systems Administrator in an MSP environment (preferred).
  • Strong technical expertise in:
    • Windows Server / Active Directory / Group Policy
    • Virtualization (VMware, Hyper-V)
    • Cloud services (Microsoft 365, Azure, Intune)
    • Firewalls, networking, and endpoint security solutions
  • Hands-on experience with compliance/security frameworks (CMMC, NIST, HIPAA, or SOC 2).
  • Proven track record of successfully delivering IT projects.
  • Excellent problem-solving skills and ability to manage multiple priorities.
  • Strong communication skills with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
  • Relevant certifications preferred (CompTIA Security+, Microsoft, CISSP, CISM, or CMMC-related credentials).
