À propos

*Department:* Information Technology & Infrastructure
*Reports To:* IT Infrastructure Manager
*Location:* Houston, TX
*Position Type:* Full-Time
*Company Overview*
We are a fast-growing Managed Service Provider (MSP) delivering proactive IT support, security, and infrastructure solutions to small and mid-sized businesses. Our team thrives on solving complex technical challenges, delivering exceptional client service, and continuously improving IT environments.
*Position Summary*
We are seeking a personable, highly analytical, deeply technical Tier 3 Senior IT Support & Project Engineer to join our core infrastructure team. In this role, you will serve as the ultimate internal escalation point for our corporate and client technology ecosystems, while leading the design and implementation of critical IT projects.
To succeed in this position, you need an advanced blend of deep technical mastery and high-level analytical capabilities. Because you will deal with undocumented and critical system failures, standard scripts do not work. The ideal candidate functions with a fair amount of autonomy, converting chaotic technical disruptions into stable, well-documented engineering solutions. You will combine technical expertise across Microsoft 365, hybrid cloud networks, and server environments with strong, client-facing communication skills to deliver high-quality IT solutions.

* *Project Leadership:* Lead critical lifecycle projects, including Microsoft 365 migrations, server/network upgrades, firewall deployments, and disaster recovery solutions.
* *High Availability & Disaster Recovery:* Build failover clusters, configure load balancers, and test robust disaster recovery backups to guarantee near-zero downtime.
* *Lifecycle Documentation:* Develop clear project scopes, timelines, technical documentation, standards, and procedures to ensure on-time delivery.
* *Junior Staff Guidance:* Provide mentorship, coaching, and technical guidance to lower-tier service desk engineers.
*Leadership & Communication*
* Crisis Management: Staying calm and directing remediation efforts during high-priority (Sev-1) outages affecting the whole company.
