• Guide engineers on complex technical tasks and solutions.
• Work with clients to understand requirements and recommend suitable solutions.
• Maintain technical documentation, project records, and system standards.
• Identify opportunities to automate repetitive tasks and improve service processes.

Requirements

• At least 5 years of experience in IT infrastructure, systems engineering, technical consulting, or a similar role.
• Experience working in an MSP, IT solutions, or similar technology services environment.
• Proven experience in infrastructure design and implementation.
• Strong cybersecurity and risk management experience.
• Demonstrated experience leading and delivering IT projects.
• Strong troubleshooting skills and experience handling complex technical escalations and operational support.
• Experience providing technical leadership or mentoring to IT professionals.
• Working knowledge of cloud, networking, systems, and modern IT infrastructure.
• Experience with automation or scripting is an advantage.
• Strong communication skills with the ability to work effectively with clients and technical teams.

This is a remote role that will be set up as an independent contractor engagement.

To ensure alignment and transparency, successful candidates will be expected to:

• Disclose any existing ongoing roles or client work
• Reflect this engagement on their LinkedIn profile (clearly marked as “Independent Contractor”)
