Junior IT Engineer

About The Role

You’ll be the second member of a small, high-impact IT team. This will be a fully on-site role and will require occasional travel as needed. The job splits between (1) day-to-day corporate IT support and (2) working on IT/OT at our test reactor site. You’ll own well-scoped projects end-to-end, partner closely with our MSP, keep our users productive, and our infrastructure tight / well documented.

This is a junior role and has tasks appropriate to that but in a very rapidly growing startup company growth opportunities are very likely if you can show your ability to fulfill requirements and deliver effective solutions efficiently.

What You’ll Do

• Handle Tier 1/2 help desk intake/triage/resolve; escalate smartly to MSP and track SLAs.
• Documentation and SOP creation, this will be a critical part of the role: formalizing, improving, and documenting existing process
• Assist with server rack buildouts: power budgeting, labeling, cabling standards, and clean documentation (rack elevations, diagrams).
• Support security systems (badging/access control, cameras, NVRs) with basic install/maintenance and vendor coordination.
• Setup, management, and maintenance of Windows, MacOS, and Linux (Debain/Ubuntu) endpoints (servers and workstations)
• Maintain O365/Microsoft 365 and Active Directory (users, groups, policy, device join, basic MDM).
• Stage and configure network switches (VLANs, trunk/access ports, PoE), document port maps, and validate with basic packet capture.
• Implement and manage firewalls (rules, NAT, VPN, segmentation; change control and logging).

• Rack/cabling documentation
• Customer/user support (retail or corporate)
• Security systems (access control/cameras)

• Strong troubleshooting: methodical, data-driven, and comfortable with deep diving into OS settings and network traffic analysis.
• Ability to plan, communicate, prioritize, and deliver scoped projects.
• Excellent written documentation skills including but not limited to:
• Standard operating procedures (SOP)
• Change requests and logging
• Visual diagrams (Cable maps / Network Topology)
