• Hardware Support: Perform basic configuration and maintenance tasks on underlying infrastructure, including Cisco UCS and Dell hardware.
• Scripting & Automation: Use PowerShell or PowerCLI to assist with routine tasks and system updates.
• ServiceNow Ticket Management: Open, update, and close incidents and service requests in accordance with internal change control processes.
• Documentation & Scheduling: Maintain and follow established documentation for mid-upgrades, troubleshooting procedures, and escalation paths.
• Operational Readiness: Help ensure infrastructure changes are executed within expected timelines to meet internal MRIA audit deadlines.
