Only candidates currently located in the Vancouver, BC area will be considered. This is not a remote or hybrid role. Daily onsite presence is expected at the Grey Owl office in Downtown Vancouver.

This is a hands‑on, project‑focused engineering role. Most of your time will be spent delivering planned infrastructure, cloud, Microsoft 365, networking, security, and migration projects rather than working a queue of reactive support tickets.

• Benefits include company‑paid extended health care, dental care, vision care, life insurance, critical illness, and critical life insurance.
• Annual Education Allowance
• Generous Referral Program

• Local discounts to restaurants, clothing stores, personal training, and more
• Free access to a fully equipped gym
• Friends and Family rates for hospitality brands

What You Will Do

You will be responsible for the technical delivery of client projects from discovery and planning through implementation, testing, documentation, and handoff.

Typical Projects Include

• New-client infrastructure onboarding and remediation

• Firewall, switching, wireless, VLAN, VPN, and routing implementations
• Backup, disaster recovery, and business continuity solutions

• Microsoft Entra ID, Conditional Access, MFA, identity synchronization, and hybrid identity
• Windows Server and Active Directory migrations, upgrades, and remediation
• Server, file-service, and workload migrations
• VMware and Hyper‑V deployments and migrations

You Will Also

• Develop implementation plans, migration plans, rollback procedures, and technical checklists

• Test and validate solutions before and after production deployment
• Troubleshoot complex technical issues encountered during projects
• Coordinate with clients, vendors, service providers, and internal teams
• Track progress against project scope, schedule, and budget
• Identify scope changes and raise them before additional work is performed
• Maintain accurate project and technical documentation
• Update diagrams, configuration records, asset information, and other client documentation
• Complete technical handoffs to Grey Owl’s Managed Services team
• Provide knowledge transfer to internal teams and, where required, clients
• Identify opportunities to standardize and automate deployment processes

What We Are Looking For

We are looking for someone who can independently deliver production infrastructure projects, not someone whose experience is primarily limited to service desk support.

You Should Have

• Demonstrated experience independently delivering infrastructure projects
• Experience performing production migrations and infrastructure cutovers
• Experience working directly with small and mid‑sized business clients

• Recognizes scope creep
• Tests thoroughly before considering work complete
• Documents changes as part of the implementation
• Builds solutions that can be effectively supported after project handoff
