IT Projects Engineer

IT Projects Engineer

The IT Projects Engineer is the go-to individual when Service Net opens a new program location or refreshes the technology at an existing site. This is a hands-on, field-forward role focused on deploying and commissioning the physical and network infrastructure that our programs run on. This individual will work on Unifi networking deployments, access control installations, camera systems, endpoint staging and deployment, and full-site technology buildouts.

This role works under the direction of the Senior IT Project Engineer and collaborates closely with Systems Administration, Helpdesk, and IS teams.

Key responsibilities include:

• Leading technology buildouts for new Service Net program locations — networking, access control, cameras, endpoints, and peripherals
• Executing technology refreshes at existing sites, bringing infrastructure in line with current organizational standards
• Deploying, configuring, and validating Unifi networking equipment — switches, wireless access points, and firewalls
• Overseeing the installation and commissioning of access control systems including readers, controllers, and door hardware; validating full functionality before handoff
• Overseeing the installation and configure camera systems; confirming coverage, connectivity, and recording are operational before project close
• Staging, imaging, and deploying endpoint hardware as part of site buildouts and refreshes
• Producing complete site documentation — diagrams, port assignments, device locations, access records, and config notes
• Flagging risks, blockers, and scope gaps early — before they affect go-live
• Preparing receiving teams for handoff so support staff know exactly what was built and how to support it
• Independently leading smaller, well-scoped site projects from kickoff to close when assigned

Qualifications include:

• 1–3 years of experience in IT support, systems work, or technical project execution.
• Hands-on experience with Unifi networking — deploying and configuring switches, access points, and firewalls in production environments
• Experience configuring access control systems — readers, controllers, door hardware, and basic software configuration
• Experience configuring camera systems — NVR/DVR configuration and validating coverage and recording
• Comfortable in field and site environments: wiring closets, above ceilings, multi-site locations
• Strong documentation habits.
• Proactive communication.
• Familiarity with Windows environments, Active Directory, and Microsoft 365
• Valid driver's license and reliable transportation — this role requires travel between Service Net sites.

Preferred qualifications include:

• Experience working in healthcare, behavioral health, or nonprofit environments.
• Familiarity with ticketing systems, project tracking tools, or IT documentation platforms (Jira, ITGlue, Monday).
• Experience with RMM platforms such as Ninja RMM.
• Comfort coordinating with vendors and contractors in the field.

Benefits include:

• Generous PTO (time-off) package.
• Comprehensive health and dental insurance plans.
• Life insurance and long-term disability insurance.
• 403(b) retirement plan.
• Tuition remission for eligible classes.
• Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) eligibility and tuition assistance.
• Opportunities for career development and advancement.
• And much more
