Network Administrator - 19991

Position Overview

We are seeking a highly skilled, proactive Network & Systems Administrator to oversee, optimize, and secure our enterprise IT infrastructure.

• Projects & Innovation: Identify opportunities to improve IT processes, drive automation (via PowerShell), and lead infrastructure upgrade projects.

• Advanced experience with Microsoft Intune and endpoint management.

• Proficiency with PowerShell scripting and infrastructure automation.

• Familiarity with established cybersecurity frameworks and vulnerability management tools.

• Active industry certifications, such as:
