We are recruiting for a Senior Project Engineer opportunity with an established managed IT services company that has been serving small and midsized businesses for more than 25 years.
This is a hands-on technical position for an experienced MSP infrastructure engineer who enjoys owning projects from beginning to end.
This is not a traditional Project Manager role.
You will work directly with clients to understand their technical needs, evaluate existing environments, help scope and design infrastructure projects, build an organized implementation plan and then personally perform much of the engineering work required to successfully complete those projects.
Depending on the size of the engagement, you may also coordinate other engineers and technicians, but you will remain technically involved and accountable for the successful delivery of the solution.
The ideal candidate is the type of senior MSP engineer who can walk into a client environment, understand what is there, determine what needs to change, develop the technical approach and then get the work done.
What You'll Be Doing
- Lead IT infrastructure projects from initial technical discovery through successful completion
- Meet with clients to understand business requirements, technical problems, existing infrastructure and desired outcomes
- Assess client environments and help develop appropriate technical solutions
- Scope project requirements including equipment, licensing, engineering effort, dependencies and implementation needs
- Translate approved scopes of work into organized technical implementation plans
- Personally perform hands-on project engineering and implementation
- Build, configure, migrate and upgrade Windows Server environments
- Deploy and migrate Active Directory domains, domain controllers, Group Policy, DNS and DHCP
- Design and implement Microsoft 365 and Azure solutions
- Deploy and manage Hyper-V and VMware virtual environments
- Configure and replace firewalls, routers, switches, wireless infrastructure and VPNs
- Perform network and infrastructure refresh projects
- Lead server migrations, cloud migrations, Microsoft 365 implementations and other client infrastructure projects
- Develop migration, cutover, testing and rollback plans
