• Execute and document scheduled operational tasks within ServiceNow for seamless systems support.
• Oversee CommVault Backup processes and manage media, troubleshooting backup failures as necessary.
• Perform patching and basic administration of RHEL, Windows Server versions (2012, 2016, 2019, 2020), including VMware ESX, Azure, and physical servers using BigFix.
• Conduct patching and basic administration of IBM AIX LPAR and physical servers.
• Possess functional knowledge of TCP/IP, DHCP, DNS, LDAP, and Active Directory for effective troubleshooting.
• Manage project operations related to server builds and decommissioning, ensuring all tasks are resource-efficient and executed accurately.
• Undertake other responsibilities as needed to adapt to the evolving business needs of the organization.

About You

• Possess a University Degree, College Diploma, or equivalent experience in the computing sector.
• 1-3 years of experience in an administrative/operations role within a 24/7 production setting, involving both data center and cloud environments.
• Consistently reliable performance even in challenging situations, with a focus on identifying opportunities for continuous improvement.
• Proactive mindset with a strong sense of ownership over the facilities environment, systems, and service quality.
• Handle all system issues and user requests in a professional and efficient manner.
• Capable of exercising sound judgment and justifying actions taken when necessary.
• Keep supervisors informed of matters that require approval or fall outside standard responsibilities.
