Network/SBS Administrator Job in New York 10003, New York US

Small-but-growing IT consultancy with architectural, non-profit, and professional services clients looking for a versatile, detail-oriented senior network administrator with a customer service focus.  A BS in Computer Science is preferred but the right candidate might convince me it’s not required.  Demonstrably excellent verbal and written communication skills and a road-tested sense of humor are absolutely essential.

 

Not only do you have experience working with multiple clients, you enjoy the challenges of different workplaces, different personalities, and different computing environments. You consult because you want to, not because you can't find a job.

 

Significant experience with Microsoft Small Business Server is a must and fluency with ALL of the Microsoft Office programs is assumed.  Candidates should have programming and/or scripting skills.   If you don’t know Active Directory, Exchange, and networking protocols (including DNS) like the back of your hand, this position is not for you.  Experience with multiple backup, antivirus, and VPN scenarios is very important.

 

If you are still reading, please note that applications must be accompanied with a well-crafted cover letter.  Tell me about your experience with SBS and network administration.  Include the word “kumquat” in the subject line of your submission to indicate that you have a pulse, have read this entire posting, and can follow instructions.

 

I am looking for someone who can take tasks through to completion while working independently; someone who can roll with the punches and figure things out on the fly; someone who can not only solve technological problems, but also effectively explain their solutions to those that are not technologically savvy.

 

The pay is good, the benefits fair, and the future bright.
