Our diverse background in software, network, and computer engineering allows us to bring unique skillsets and perspectives to managed IT services.

During a typical morning as a IT Consultant, you will be providing technical support to our clients; helping them resolve technology problems, advising them, and working with teammates to tackle more complex issues. At other times, you may be working on larger client projects, attending site visits or deploying equipment. At ALT Consulting, we are constantly learning about new technologies and seeking out ways to improve the client experience.

Therefore, as part of your role, you will be performing research, or evaluating new equipment or software to implement for clients. For ongoing projects, you will communicate with clients and project managers to provide updates. You will also be invited to join senior staff to provide insight during sales meetings. When you’re not working on client matters, you will be contributing to our internal projects, including the development of our Small Business IT Platform with the R&D team, setting up test environments, and modifying systems to optimize their performance.

In essence, you will be practicing and mastering the art of IT optimization. As you gain knowledge and experience in different domains, you may want to specialize in a field that best suits your career path. A successful IT Systems Administrator will be offered opportunities to specialize as a Senior IT Consultant, vCIO, Product Development Engineer, as well as Management and Executive positions and roles.

Each day you will be empowered to be innovative, think differently, and work autonomously while challenging yourself to grow and improve.

You will be well equipped to handle not only the day-to-day support challenges, but you will also play a vital role in moving key projects forward with your own advanced technology setup. When working from the office, you’ll be in your own private workspace, which includes an immersive 40-inch 4K monitor, a Mac Book Pro, quality peripherals, and an ergonomic desk and chair.
