Vancouver – Junior Systems Administrator

Andersen LLP is looking for a motivated and reliable Junior Systems Administrator to join our IT team in our Vancouver office. This is a hands‑on “Swiss Army Knife” role where you will own the day‑to‑day operation and support of our Microsoft 365 environment while serving as the primary first‑line responder for Level 1 and Level 2 technical tickets in our 70‑person fast paced firm.

You will manage core infrastructure, ensure systems are secure and backed up, support our hybrid workforce, and help improve our overall IT environment. This is an excellent opportunity for someone with 1–3 years of experience who is eager to grow their skills in a fast‑paced, collaborative setting.

Andersen LLP offers a rewarding career path for exceptional individuals. We foster an environment based on learning and allow our employees to grow through hands‑on work experience. We offer a comprehensive benefits package and educational career training to enhance our employees’ professional development goals.

• You document your work without being asked
• You communicate clearly with non‑technical users
• You are proactive — you notice when something looks off and flag it
• You are comfortable working independently but know when to upgrade

Bonus Points if you can show examples of:

• A backup or M365 reporting dashboard you created

  :30 hours per week | Hybrid (4 days/week) | potential for FT
