We’re hiring a Senior Project Engineer to lead the delivery of complex IT infrastructure and cloud projects across a diverse client base. This role is ideal for someone with a strong MSP or consulting background who can own projects end-to-end while staying hands-on technically.

- Deploy and manage backup/DR, storage, and remote access solutions
- Own 15 concurrent projects, ensuring delivery is on time and technically sound
- Interface directly with clients, providing clear communication and professional guidance
What You Bring
- 5 years of experience as a Project Engineer in an MSP or consulting environment
- Strong networking expertise, with solid systems experience
- Hands-on experience designing and deploying infrastructure (not just supporting it)
Experience with:
- Firewalls/VPNs: Fortinet, Cisco, SonicWall
