Job Description

POSITION SUMMARY

Riviera Dining Group is hiring a full-time, on-site IT Systems Administrator to lead network administration, Microsoft 365 administration, and end-user technical support across its restaurant and hospitality venues. This is an active, mobile, hands‑on position — expect to be on your feet, on ladders, in server closets, and on the restaurant floor during service. This is not a remote or desk-bound systems administrator role.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

• Network Infrastructure & Cisco Meraki Administration
  • Manage and maintain Cisco Meraki networking hardware — switches, routers, firewalls, and wireless access points — across multiple physical locations.
  • Monitor network performance, deploy upgrades, and troubleshoot connectivity issues on‑site.
  • Physically install, rack, cable, and replace network hardware in venue IDF and server closets.
• Microsoft 365 & SharePoint Administration
  • Administer Office 365 and Microsoft 365, including Exchange Online, Microsoft Teams, and OneDrive.
  • Build and maintain SharePoint Online sites for internal documentation and collaboration.
• Help Desk & End‑User Support
  • Serve as primary point of contact for internal IT support tickets through a modern ticketing system.
  • Troubleshoot hardware, software, network, and Toast POS issues for team members, including in‑person support during active service hours.
  • Execute IT onboarding and off‑boarding: account provisioning, hardware setup, imaging, and access control.
• Business Application Administration
  • Manage user roles, permissions, and integrations within Slack.
  • Partner with stakeholders to ensure business applications support operational processes effectively.
• IT Security & Compliance
  • Implement and maintain IT security best practices: data backup, antivirus, patch management, and access control.
  • Ensure compliance with relevant standards and internal policies.
• Vendor & IT Asset Management
  • Manage third‑party vendor relationships for software licensing, hardware procurement, and IT services.
  • Track and maintain hardware and software IT asset inventories.

REQUIREMENTS & QUALIFICATIONS

• Required
  • 5+ years of IT support and systems administration experience, including 2+ years in a lead or managerial role.
  • Strong hands‑on experience with Cisco Meraki networking equipment.
  • Proficiency with the Microsoft 365 admin center and SharePoint Online.
  • Working knowledge of Slack administration.
  • Familiarity with ticketing systems such as Zendesk, Freshservice, or Jira.
  • Ability to work independently, prioritize competing requests, and respond under time pressure.
  • Availability for evenings, weekends, and holidays as business needs require, including support during active restaurant service.
• Preferred
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or Information Technology.
  • CCNA, Microsoft 365 Certified: Modern Desktop Administrator Associate, or [Salesforce Administrator — CONFIRM] certification.
• Competencies
  • Strong analytical and troubleshooting skills.
  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills across technical and non‑technical teams.
  • Ability to document processes clearly and thoroughly.

PHYSICAL DEMANDS & WORK ENVIRONMENT

• Physical Demands
  • Regular travel between venue locations throughout the workday.
  • Standing, walking, bending, kneeling, and crouching for extended periods.
  • Climbing ladders and working in confined spaces, including server closets, above‑ceiling cable runs, and under‑counter POS installations.
  • Lifting and carrying equipment up to 50 pounds.
  • Extended computer and keyboard use, which lends itself to repetitive motion.
• Work Environment
  • Corporate office paired with multi‑venue field work.
  • Fast‑paced restaurant environment with varying noise levels and temperatures.
  • Evenings, weekends, and holidays as business needs require, including active restaurant service hours.
