You will play a key role in shaping that evolution—designing solutions, implementing changes, and maintaining the systems our team depends on every day. The position requires a strong understanding of Windows‑based environments, virtualization, storage platforms, and end‑user productivity tools.

• Maintain and support Windows Server systems, virtualization hosts, storage platforms, and network services.
• Lead infrastructure improvements, including upgrades, migrations, and modernization projects.
• Manage Hyper‑V clusters, virtual machines, and related services.
• Administer Active Directory, DNS, DHCP, Group Policy, and identity‑related components.
• Provide application support for Microsoft Office, Adobe Acrobat, and industry‑specific software.
• Monitor system health, performance, and security; respond to alerts and incidents.
• Maintain accurate documentation, procedures, and operational runbooks.
• Work with external vendors and service providers as needed.
• Participate in after‑hours maintenance or support when required.

• Diploma in Information Technology or a university degree with a computer‑science component.
• Certifications are an asset (Microsoft AZ‑800/801, CompTIA Network+, MOS).
• Security certifications are beneficial but not mandatory (CISSP, CISM, Security+).

• 5–7+ years working with physical servers, Hyper‑V environments, RAID‑based storage, and NAS systems.
• Hands‑on experience supporting end users with Microsoft Office, Acrobat, and related applications.
• Familiarity with networking fundamentals, security practices, and operational procedures.
• Experience with Synology or QNAP storage solutions.
• MSP experience is considered an asset.

• Strong communication skills and the ability to support non‑technical users.
• Solid understanding of Windows Server, Windows 11, and Microsoft Office.
• Proficiency with Hyper‑V, Active Directory, DNS, DHCP, and related services.
• Knowledge of network design, VLANs, routing, firewalls, and high‑availability concepts.
• Experience with NAS administration, replication, and cloud‑based backup workflows.
• Interest in emerging technologies and continuous improvement.
• Robust analytical and problem‑solving abilities.

• Range: $65,000–$90,000, depending on skills and experience.
