Over the past several years, Coretelligent has entered a new chapter. We have strengthened our leadership team, modernized our service delivery, and sharpened our focus on long-term client outcomes. Our work spans managed IT, cybersecurity, cloud, and strategy, delivered through a model designed for consistency, transparency, and trust.

We are building a team of professionals who care deeply about quality, ownership, and continuous improvement. If you value clear expectations, thoughtful collaboration, and work that genuinely matters to the businesses you support, you will feel at home here.

What We’re Looking For

As a Senior Project Engineer at Coretelligent, you will play a lead role in delivering complex infrastructure, cloud, and security-focused initiatives across our client environments.

You’ll partner closely with Project Managers, engineers, support teams, and client stakeholders to execute high-impact technical projects while helping guide technical standards, implementation quality, and overall project success. In addition to hands‑on engineering responsibilities, this role is expected to provide technical leadership during planning, execution, troubleshooting, and post-project support activities.

This role is ideal for an engineer who thrives in fast‑paced MSP environments, enjoys solving complex technical challenges, and takes ownership of both client outcomes and technical execution.
