  • Must be available for after‑hours work to support emergencies, outages, and security incidents. Travel across our western Canadian branches may be required periodically.
  • Utilize RMM (Remote Monitoring & Management) tools and ticketing systems to monitor, manage, and resolve IT issues efficiently. Develop and maintain PowerShell scripts and automation workflows to streamline IT operations.
  • Provide end‑user technical support and mentor junior IT staff. Support remote branch offices, including network connectivity, endpoint management, and remote troubleshooting.
  • Take ownership of critical IT infrastructure, including backups, network systems, communications, and cybersecurity incidents. Provide ongoing operational support, including monitoring, patching, maintenance, troubleshooting, and documentation.
