Provide technical support across infrastructure and end-user computing, acting as a key resource for systems and device-related needs. Execute laptop setup, deployment, configuration, and user migration tasks for approximately 60 internal employees. Partner with operations leadership to prioritize work, communicate technical findings clearly, and carry initiatives forward as an independent contributor.

Apply security and compliance expectations in daily administration activities, including follow-up actions related to audit-driven standards. Requirements
At least 5 years of experience in systems administration, infrastructure engineering, or Microsoft 365 administration. Demonstrated expertise with Active Directory, including migration or consolidation work across multiple domains.
