  • Administer backup, virtualization, and storage systems, including Veeam, VMware, NAS, RingCentral VOIP, and asset management platforms.
  • 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.

  • Must be willing and able to work after hours as required, including responding to critical incidents.
  • Experience supporting remote branches and multi‑site IT environments.
  • Proven ability to work independently, manage priorities, and take ownership of complex IT projects.
  • Experience with VMware, Veeam, Microsoft 365, and enterprise‑scale network infrastructure.
  • Familiarity with RMM tools and ticketing systems for IT service management.
  • Strong understanding of cybersecurity frameworks, incident response, and disaster recovery.
