Hey, You! Yes, You!
You know your way around small office networks and can handle complex troubleshooting without overcomplicating it. You can follow an established process, think critically when things don't go to plan, and work confidently within your scope, while knowing exactly when it's time to hand something off to the next tier.
This role isn't about building server farms or designing networks from scratch. It's about executing with skill within a narrower scope for our clients, solving problems independently, and being the go-to technical resource for our MSP team. Through our 6-month on-the-job training program, we'll help you grow your skills so you can step confidently into Tier 2 responsibilities. You won't manage people, but you'll help shape our team's success as we grow.
