What are the responsibilities and job description for the Project Engineer position at MSP Hire, Inc.?
We are an Ohio-based MSP company specializing in comprehensive IT services for enterprises of all sizes. From desktop to server, network, and telecommunications solutions, we're trusted partners dedicated to helping businesses achieve their goals while optimizing IT investments and minimizing costs.
The Role
We’re looking for a Project Engineer who will be responsible for the successful planning, execution, and completion of all client-facing and internal IT projects. This role owns the full lifecycle of projects—from initial scoping and planning through execution, communication, and final delivery.
This is not a sit-back-and-coordinate role. This individual will either execute projects independently or coordinate and lead internal technical resources to ensure projects are completed on time, within scope, and aligned with client expectations.
We’re looking for someone with a proven track record of delivering projects successfully—on time, done right, and without unnecessary chaos. Someone who has both technical capability and strong project leadership within a fast-paced Managed Services Provider (MSP) environment.
Most importantly, someone who values the client experience just as much as the technical outcome.
