Job description

Candidate must be located in or around the Boston area.

At Coretelligent, we take ownership of the technology our clients rely on every day. We partner with growing, highly regulated organizations that need secure, dependable IT environments built to scale. Our role goes beyond support. We bring structure, clarity, and accountability to complex technology landscapes so leaders can move forward with confidence.

Job Overview

As a Project Engineer, the role is accountable for end-to-end execution of client infrastructure projects from SoW intake and technical planning through staging, on‑site deployment/cutover, and post‑go‑live stabilization. You will operate as a senior hands‑on contributor, partnering tightly with Project Managers to drive schedule adherence, risk management, and stakeholder alignment. Standards are required; critical thinking and real‑world engineering judgment are non-negotiable. The engineer must be able to successfully work on multiple projects consistently.

Key Responsibilities

• Execute infrastructure project scopes: design validation, configuration, staging, deployment, cutover, and stabilization.
• Convert SoWs into technical build plans: sequencing, dependencies, risk controls, acceptance criteria, and rollback strategy.
• Validate readiness and logistics prior to execution: access prerequisites, site readiness, maintenance window requirements, and third‑party dependencies.
• Review equipment orders against design intent (models/SKUs, licensing, optics/DACs, port capacity/PoE, power/UPS sizing) and proactively resolve gaps to avoid field failures.
• Lead on‑site implementation: rack/stack, cabling verification, circuit/ISP handoff validation, firewall/switch/wireless turn‑up, and production cutovers.
• Own change execution governance: maintenance window planning, stakeholder communications, go/no‑go checkpoints, rollback readiness, post‑change validation, and hypercare.
• Ensure monitoring/alerting, backups, logging, and support handoff criteria are met prior to project closure.
• Produce Coretelligent‑standard deliverables: runbooks, network diagrams, IP plans, configuration/build guides, and end‑user guides as required.
• Maintain accurate project notes, artifacts, and updates in ServiceNow (or equivalent ITSM), ensuring auditable delivery records; surface scope creep and drive change control when needed.
• Coordinate closely with Project Managers to maintain delivery velocity: status, blockers, risks, scope change impacts, and stakeholder communications.
• Partner with third‑party vendors (audio/video, voice/telecom, line‑of‑business) to integrate systems and complete cutovers successfully.
• Ensure client satisfaction through disciplined execution, clear communication, and reliable outcomes.

Project Types

• Office network deployments: firewalls, switching, routing, wireless, UPS
• File sharing services: Windows‑based file server migrations to Egnyte, Box, OneDrive/SharePoint
• Security integrations: SSO and MFA (Entra ID/Azure SSO, Microsoft Authenticator, Windows Hello, Duo)
• MDM deployments: Intune and Jamf (enrollment strategy, compliance, conditional access alignment)
• Email migrations and Microsoft 365 initiatives
• Server upgrades/migrations: VMware and Hyper‑V, storage integration, performance and failover validation
• Backup/DR implementations: Datto and Veeam, recoverability verification
• Email security and compliance: DMARC/DKIM/SPF governance; Mimecast (as applicable)
• Office relocations: readiness planning, ISP coordination, move‑day execution, and post‑move stabilization
• Vendor‑led deployments: audio/video and phone system projects integrated into the client environment

Required Skills And Qualifications

• 5+ years delivering IT infrastructure projects in MSP/consulting or multi‑client environments.
• Proven hands‑on delivery across core domains:
• Windows Server, Active Directory, Entra ID
• Virtualization: VMware, Hyper‑V (Azure/AWS exposure a plus)
• Firewalls and VPNs (Fortinet/Cisco/SonicWall; remote access and site‑to‑site)
• Switching/routing and wireless (Meraki, Cisco/Dell switching, UniFi)
• Cloud services (Microsoft 365, Azure; file collaboration platforms such as Egnyte/Box/OneDrive)
• Security controls (SSO/MFA, endpoint security tooling)
• Backup/DR solutions (Datto, Veeam)
• Remote Desktop Services (MS RDS, Citrix)
• Storage (HPE Nimble, Dell EMC, Synology)
• Demonstrated ability to lead technical cutovers under pressure with clear communication, disciplined troubleshooting, and strong stakeholder management.
• Strong documentation discipline: diagrams, as‑built, and runbooks that allow L1/L2 support to operate and troubleshoot without engineer dependency.
• Ability to operate effectively under ambiguity; uses standards as guardrails.

Travel And Work Requirements

• Ability to travel for project work at least once a month.
• Able to regularly work nights and weekends to perform off‑hours upgrades and migrations.
