Senior Project Engineer (Level 3)

Posted 01/26/2024

Job Description

FullScope IT, an IT support and consulting leader for over 20 years, is seeking a highly skilled and experienced Senior Project Engineer to join our Service and Support team. 

This role is ideal for someone who combines strong technical expertise with extensive practical experience, ideally backed by at least five years of intensive, hands-on work in network engineering. The ideal candidate should possess a deep understanding and proficiency in various technologies. This includes, but is not limited to, Microsoft Server, Exchange, SQL, IIS, and Cisco Internetworking. Additionally, experience with VPNs, firewalls, backups, and Linux and UNIX systems. The more adept the engineer is in these areas, the greater their contribution and impact will be in our dynamic environment.

Beyond technical skills, we place a high premium on communication and management capabilities. The Senior Project Engineer should be an effective communicator, capable of guiding clients through challenging situations with clarity and confidence. This role involves regular interactions with clients, where conducting detailed pre-project briefings and maintaining ongoing, clear communication is crucial. Promptness in communication is key, especially when it comes to updating clients on project timelines and expected time of arrival (ETAs) for services.

The pace and demands of this position are often more intense than typical in-house roles. It requires the ability to execute projects successfully and the skill to manage and solve complex problems in IT environments enriched with a diverse array of technologies. A promising candidate will be able to demonstrate a high degree of success in integrating these systems and troubleshooting any issues that arise.
