Position Summary
We seek an experienced Level 2 System Administrator to work out of our Roanoke, VA, location and some onsite at client locations when needed. The right future teammate will possess a strong work ethic, discipline, attention to detail, and amazing teamwork.You will need to be good with time documentation and management and enjoy solving all challenges for our clients, from a simple password reset to as complicated as a major outage.
We typically work around 40 hours per week, although sometimes we work longer and later. (In IT support, things can go crazy, and we have to work late sometimes.) Our office support hours are 8:00 AM until 5:00 PM EST. I would be lying if I said those were cushy hours playing Xbox or PlayStation.That's not our day - we are kept on our toes, helping small to medium-sized businesses from every industry, and students and school districts move from one issue to the next. Each of our technicians takes turns being on call after hours, about one week every five months.
