- Perform daily system checks, preventive maintenance, and operational response activities to sustain safe, secure, and reliable data center services.
- Back up system and network configuration files, verify successful completion, and maintain recovery-related evidence and documentation.
- Maintain technical procedures, network diagrams, maintenance histories, repair records, configuration details, inventory data, and knowledge documentation.
- Prioritize assigned equipment and technical resources based on operational urgency, business needs, project readiness, and stakeholder requirements.
- Generate operational, inventory, compliance, and project-status reports. Identify trends and escalate risks, blockers, and recurring issues with recommended next steps.
- Provide technical guidance to junior technicians and contribute to training, peer review, documentation quality, and continuous process improvement.
What You'll Bring
- Three or more years of hands-on experience in data center operations, systems support, network support, infrastructure deployment, or a comparable technical environment.
- Demonstrated ability to independently install, maintain, troubleshoot, and decommission enterprise server, network, storage, and cabling infrastructure.
- Working knowledge of TCP/IP, switching, VLANs, DHCP, DNS, firewalls, wireless networking, domain access, and connectivity troubleshooting.
- Experience with server imaging and deployment environments such as MDT, WDS, PXE, or equivalent tools, including patching and baseline configuration.
- Experience using ticketing, inventory, asset-management, monitoring, and project-tracking systems with strong documentation discipline.
- Ability to coordinate multiple priorities, identify operational risks, communicate clearly with technical and nontechnical stakeholders, and work with limited supervision.
- Ability to work onsite, perform hands-on equipment tasks, and meet the physical and scheduling requirements of the assigned data center environment.
Preferred Qualifications
- Associate or bachelor’s degree in information technology, computer science, networking, engineering technology, or a related discipline, or equivalent professional experience.
