The Role: Support & Systems Administration
As part of our internal IT team, you will manage diverse technology environments and work directly with senior staff to maintain and scale our technical infrastructure. You will:
Provide Advanced Technical Support: Serve as a key escalation point for support requests via phone, ticketing system, and in-person—diagnosing and resolving complex Windows 10/11, hardware, and network-related issues.
Support AEC Production Workflows: Manage specialized production software environments, including AutoCAD, Revit, and Bluebeam (licensing, application integration, plugin conflicts, and large-format plotting workflows).
Manage Users & Workstations: Lead account administration in Active Directory / Entra ID, streamline workstation deployment and imaging, and manage hardware life cycles across the firm.
Maintain Infrastructure & Networks: Assist with wired and wireless network administration (Cisco, Ubiquiti), manage firewalls (pfSense), and support Windows Server and Linux (RHEL) configuration, maintenance, and security patching.
Maintain Systems & Security: Enforce IT security practices, verify system backup integrity, maintain detailed technical documentation, and participate in a rotating after-hours/on-call schedule to support critical operations.
What You Bring
Experience: Proven mid-level IT support experience in a professional or enterprise environment (3+ years preferred).
Technical Skills: Strong proficiency in Windows OS troubleshooting, Active Directory / Microsoft 365 administration, workstation hardware management, and core networking concepts (DNS, DHCP, IP routing, Wi-Fi, network printers).
Bonus Exposure: Familiarity with CAD/design environments (AutoCAD, Revit, Bluebeam), Cisco/Ubiquiti hardware, pfSense firewalls, or Windows/Linux server environments (CompTIA A+, Network+, or Microsoft certifications are a plus).
Communication & Logistics: Strong problem-solving and customer service skills, with the ability to clearly translate complex technical issues for non-technical staff; valid driver’s license and willingness to travel occasionally between regional office sites.
Physical Ability: Capability to lift and move IT equipment up to 40 lbs.
The T&L Advantage: Why Join Us?
Joining our team means becoming part of a forward-thinking organization committed to providing an environment where our employees can thrive.
Flexible Working Environment: We prioritize work-life balance and offer a remote-hybrid opportunity that combines hands-on regional office collaboration with the flexibility of working remotely.
Tailored Career Development: We do not restrict you to basic ticket-closing; we focus on mentorship, giving you hands-on exposure to server, network, and security operations to help you build a full systems administrator skill set.
Innovative Work Environment: We foster a culture of innovation and collaboration, where ideas are valued and creativity is encouraged.
Professional Growth: We invest in your continuous learning, offering internal mentorship, skill development opportunities, and career advancement within our generalist IT team.
Competitive Compensation: We offer a competitive salary and comprehensive benefits package, including an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP), to reward your dedication
