The Opportunity:

Your combination of people skills and system administrator expertise makes you the team hero, solving one problem after another. What if you could use those skills to improve the technology supporting the Department of the Navy? We’re looking for a system administrator with a background in Server 2016 and newer to help us manage our virtualized servers running Active Directory, Group Policy Management, DNS, and file servers (SMB).

As a system administrator on our project, you’ll review Event Viewer for errors and warning, look for ways to make the infrastructure better using the latest technologies available and update and patch critical systems. You’ll provide your customers insight into their network through monitoring and performance management.

Your system administrator expertise will be vital as you identify problem areas and opportunities for improvement in a mission-critical network. You’ll help your team better understand the network by turning metrics into information and explaining their meaning.

This is an opportunity to broaden your skillset into areas like PowerShell, RSAT, or STIGing Windows Servers. We focus on growing as a team, so you’ll share your expertise through leadership and mentoring as you help the team work through challenges and develop new methodologies. As a system administrator leader, you’ll identify new opportunities to modernize the network so your clients achieve their goals. Work with us and resolve daily challenges as we improve the U.S. Navy's cloud computing infrastructure.
