Job description

NOC Engineer – Backup, Alerts & Patch Remediation

About The Role

This role owns the health of our managed client fleet: backups that run and can be restored, RMM alerts that get fixed rather than ignored, and patches and vulnerabilities that get closed. You'll work a remediation backlog down and keep it down.

Schedule

Business hours ET, an early-morning overnight-jobs check, and an after-hours escalation rotation.

What you'll do

Backups

• Triage failed, missed and warning backup jobs daily across Veeam servers, agents and cloud copies.
• Remote in through NinjaOne/ScreenConnect to fix storage, repository, network, licensing and upgrade issues.
• Run scheduled and on-request restore tests (SureBackup, file/VM) and write audit-ready evidence.
• Enforce the PTG backup standard: 3-2-1 with a cloud copy, minimum retention, encryption, and no synthetic fulls that overrun storage.
• Run the half-yearly backup audit and present the findings.
• Maintain VSPC: onboarding and offboarding, report recipients, and keeping the managed list matched to billing.

RMM alert remediation (NinjaOne)

• Work the open NinjaOne condition-alert queue to zero, fixing the root cause so the same device stops re-alerting.
• Antivirus/EDR health: AV missing, disabled or not updating, and unsupported AV installed.
• Low disk space on workstations and servers: cleanup, profile and temp clearing, and escalating hardware upgrades.
• Server and virtualization alerts: VMware/Hyper-V datastore free space, stale VM checkpoints, hardware sensors, high memory, and critical services down (e.g. ADSync).
• Device-offline alerts: confirm real outages and separate them from platform false positives.
• Tune alert conditions and thresholds so alerts are actionable, not noise.

Patching And Vulnerabilities

• Remediate failed patches in NinjaOne: Windows cumulative/security updates and third-party applications, including stuck or half-finished patch runs and pending reboots.
• Install out-of-band updates manually when policy can't approve them.
• Remediate vulnerability-scanner findings: patch, upgrade, reconfigure or remove the affected software, then verify the finding clears.
• Report patch compliance and the open vulnerability backlog weekly.

General

• Own Halo tickets from alert to close, with clear notes.
• Produce the daily, weekly and monthly reports.
• Work CMMC client systems under their access controls.
• Keep credentials and runbooks current in Hudu.

Requirements

What you'll bring

• 3+ years in an MSP or IT ops role.
• Hands-on Veeam B&R: jobs, repositories, backup copy, agents and SureBackup.
• Day-to-day RMM alert remediation (NinjaOne preferred): AV/EDR health, disk space, services, offline devices.
• Windows patch troubleshooting: failed cumulative updates, servicing stack and component store repair (DISM/SFC), WSUS/Windows Update logs, and third-party patching.
• Vulnerability remediation from scanner findings, with a record of verifying the fix.
• Windows Server, Hyper-V/VMware, storage (NAS, iSCSI) and basic networking.
• Experience with object storage targets (Backblaze, Azure Blob, Cloud Connect), including immutability and quotas.
• Clear writing for both tickets and client reports.
• Disciplined credential handling. Must be able to pass a background check for CMMC access.

Nice to have

• VMCE; VSPC.
• Huntress or another EDR/ITDR platform.
• Veeam for M365 and Azure backup.
• CMMC / NIST 800-171.
• PowerShell for remediation scripts.

Tools

Veeam B&R and agents, VSPC, NinjaOne (alerting, conditions, patch management), ScreenConnect, Huntress, Hyper-V/VMware, object storage targets, Halo, Hudu.
