Location Requirements

3-Year Term, Direct Conversion Path at End | W-2, Full-Time (NexusTek Employee)

Onsite, Northern Denver Metro, CO

The Opportunity

A public school district in the Northern Denver, CO metro area is seeking a System Administrator to join their IT team, supporting network, wireless, desktop, and server operations across the district.

This is a NexusTek W-2 position for a three-year term, with a clear, no-fee path to direct employment with the district at the end of the term if it's a strong mutual fit.

What You’ll Own

• Network and wireless infrastructure support across district sites
• Desktop and mobile device support, including second-level escalation from the district's help desk
• Server administration and support
• Ticket triage and resolution, working directly with district staff and other IT team members

Required Qualifications

• 3+ years of hands-on experience troubleshooting PCs, networks, and related systems
• Real, demonstrated experience across networking, desktop support, and server administration, not narrowly specialized in just one
• Comfortable working directly with end users and handling escalated support tickets
• Able to work onsite in the Denver metro area
• Able to pass a standard background check as a condition of W-2 employment with NexusTek

Preferred Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree (preferred, not a hard requirement, real hands-on experience matters more here than the credential itself)
• Prior experience in a K-12 or public-sector IT environment

What This Role Is Not

• Not a narrow specialist role, this person covers network, desktop, and server support, not just one lane
• Not a 1099 or corp-to-corp engagement, this is genuine W-2 employment with NexusTek
• Not indefinite as a NexusTek employee by design, the three-year term has a real, no-fee path to becoming a direct district employee at the end, worth presenting as a genuine feature, not a limitation
