LONG-TERM CONTRACT/POSSIBLE CONTRACT-TO-HIRE.

ROLE DESCRIPTION

Fast-paced MSP has a long-term contract opportunity for a Windows Systems Engineer to join their team. The Systems Engineer is responsible for providing frontline technical support, infrastructure maintenance, and operational troubleshooting across multiple client environments. This role requires strong problem-solving skills, disciplined troubleshooting methodology, and a solid foundational understanding of Active Directory, Microsoft 365, networking, and endpoint management.

The Systems Engineer serves as a key technical liaison between clients, consulting staff, and third-party vendors to ensure that infrastructure issues are resolved efficiently and that client environments remain secure, stable, and aligned with our operational standards. The ideal candidate approaches technical problems methodically, communicates clearly with users, and continues to develop deeper technical expertise over time.
