Network Administrator/Engineer

Description

Our Engineering customer purchased another firm last year. They are in the midst of integrating the two organizations. One of the locations in N.J., is now in need of a Network Specialist to join the team. Because of the integration activities and the fact the team is smaller, this person will do things from imaging laptops and ensuring they are on the new domain to network protocols, Exchange and O365 support and everything in between. This is a team that wears many hats, there’s no silod support for this organization so anyone who would be considered should be well-rounded in networking and end user support.

Because of the integration work that is spurring on projects like reimage laptops to the new domain, upgrading the networking eqt., installing Meraki switches, access pts, migration servers to new domains.

We believe it is the optimal mix of talent, experience, passion, and creativity that sets an engineering firm apart from its competition. The successes experienced by our clients through their projects have proven that we can bring any thought, vision, or daydream to fruition. IT Department strives to provide high-quality technology-based services to meet those needs and challenges.
