Job description

Adecco is hiring for an IT Systems & Support Administrator in Peabody! This is a Contract-To-Potential Hire opportunity FULLY ON-SITE.

Schedule: Monday-Friday 8:00AM-5:00PM

Pay rate: $55-$70 per hour DOE

POSITION SUMMARY

We are seeking an experienced IT Systems & Infrastructure Administrator to support the reliable, secure, and efficient operation of our enterprise technology environment. This role combines hands-on technical support with enterprise infrastructure administration, virtualization, identity management, backup/recovery, Microsoft 365, cybersecurity, automation, and technology projects.

The ideal candidate will have strong hands-on experience with Windows Server, VMware, Active Directory/Entra ID, enterprise backup and recovery, Microsoft 365, and PowerShell. This is not primarily a desktop support or M365 administration role; candidates should demonstrate meaningful experience supporting enterprise infrastructure and participating in systems integration, migrations, change management, disaster recovery, and technology modernization.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

Enterprise Systems & Infrastructure

• Administer, monitor, troubleshoot, maintain, upgrade, and migrate Windows Server and virtualized environments, including VMware and Hyper-V.
• Support Active Directory, Entra ID, DNS, DHCP, file services, authentication, certificates, storage, patching, monitoring, and system lifecycle management.
• Troubleshoot complex infrastructure issues across servers, applications, endpoints, networking, and identity services.
• Maintain infrastructure documentation, inventories, diagrams, and operational procedures.

Backup, Recovery & Disaster Recovery

• Monitor enterprise backup jobs, capacity, retention, alerts, and failures.
• Perform and support system and data restores.
• Participate in disaster recovery planning, testing, documentation, and recovery exercises.

Identity, Microsoft 365 & Endpoints

• Support Active Directory and Entra ID, including users, groups, permissions, MFA, synchronization, and account lifecycle activities.
• Administer and troubleshoot Microsoft 365 services including Teams, SharePoint, OneDrive, licensing, permissions, and synchronization.
• Provide escalation-level support for desktops, laptops, mobile devices, printers, peripherals, and business applications.
• Support endpoint management, patching, compliance, encryption, and software deployment using tools such as Intune and Configuration Manager.

PowerShell, Security & Automation

• Develop and maintain PowerShell scripts to automate administrative tasks and improve operational efficiency.
• Support vulnerability remediation, patch management, endpoint protection, encryption, access reviews, and secure configurations.
• Identify opportunities for automation, infrastructure improvements, and technology modernization.

Projects & Systems Integration

• Participate in infrastructure projects including server upgrades, virtualization, migrations, systems implementations, cybersecurity initiatives, and technology refreshes.
• Support systems integration, testing, implementation, and lifecycle activities.
• Follow structured change management processes and assist with planning, testing, implementation, and post-change validation.
• Work with Corporate IT, cybersecurity, application owners, manufacturing/operations teams, vendors, and service providers.

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

• Associate degree in IT, Computer Science, Information Systems, or related field, or equivalent experience.
• 5+ years of enterprise IT, systems administration, infrastructure support, or IT operations experience preferred.
• Hands-on experience with Windows Server and enterprise infrastructure.
• Experience with VMware or other enterprise virtualization platforms.
• Experience with Active Directory and Microsoft Entra ID.
• Experience supporting enterprise backup, recovery, and disaster recovery.
• Working knowledge of Microsoft 365 and PowerShell.
• Strong understanding of networking, authentication, patching, monitoring, cybersecurity, and infrastructure operations.
• Experience participating in IT projects, migrations, integrations, infrastructure upgrades, or modernization initiatives.
• Strong troubleshooting, communication, documentation, organizational, and problem-solving skills.

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

• Bachelor’s degree in IT, Computer Science, Information Systems, or related field.
• 7+ years of enterprise systems administration or infrastructure experience.
• Experience supporting multi-site environments, preferably in manufacturing, engineering, laboratory, or distribution.
• Experience with disaster recovery, structured change management, and IT service management.
• Relevant Microsoft, CompTIA, Cisco, VMware, or ITIL certifications.

IDEAL CANDIDATE

The ideal candidate is an enterprise infrastructure professional who can take ownership of server, virtualization, identity, backup/recovery, and systems operations while providing escalation-level end-user support.

Candidates whose experience is primarily desktop support, help desk, or Microsoft 365 administration without significant enterprise infrastructure responsibility are unlikely to meet the requirements of this role.
