About the Opportunity
Are you an up-and-coming IT professional who loves solving problems, learning new tech, and keeping critical systems running smoothly? Do you thrive in environments where your work really matters-supporting public services, protecting infrastructure, and helping an entire community stay connected?
If so, we want YOU as our next Junior System Administrator!
In this hands-on role, you'll partner closely with our Director of Information Technology to maintain a secure, efficient, and resilient IT environment for our Township.

If you're curious, adaptable, and ready to grow, this is the perfect next step in your IT career.
What You'll Do
As our Junior System Administrator, you will:
Monitor system and network performance-and jump in fast when something looks off. Maintain security, backups, permissions, and user access across our infrastructure. Install, configure, and upgrade workstations, laptops, printers, servers, phones, and networking equipment. Support Active Directory, DNS, DHCP, GPOs, file shares, and Microsoft Server environments. Troubleshoot both on-prem and virtual infrastructure, including VMware and VCenter. Manage firewall rules, VPNs, IPS, and threat-prevention tools. Spot and mitigate phishing, spam, and social-engineering attempts. Retrieve DVR video footage for staff and law enforcement when needed. Work directly with vendors and support teams to resolve technical issues. Stay current on emerging technologies and recommend innovations. Perform other duties that keep our IT operations safe, modern, and stable. Every action you take directly supports township services-and your impact will be felt far beyond the IT room.
