Job description
Our client is a managed IT, cloud, cybersecurity, disaster recovery, and technology consulting firm serving small and mid-sized organizations. They combine enterprise-level expertise with hands-on service to help clients modernize their environments and align technology with their business goals.
About the Role
Our client is hiring a Senior Project Engineer to serve as the lead technical resource on complex client technology projects - from discovery and planning through implementation, testing, documentation, and managed services handoff.
This is not a task-completion role. The right person independently owns the technical outcome of their projects: assessing environments, developing implementation approaches, identifying risks before they become problems, and communicating clearly with clients throughout.
Remote-based. Client-site work required when hands-on project activities are needed.
Role Description
Own the technical delivery of complex client projects from discovery through handoff
Perform technical discovery, assess client environments, and translate scope into detailed implementation plans
Identify requirements, dependencies, risks, and gaps before implementation begins
Design and implement solutions across Microsoft cloud, infrastructure, networking, virtualization, backup, and security
Lead migrations, upgrades, deployments, and infrastructure modernization projects
Develop and execute implementation, testing, cutover, rollback, and validation plans
Partner with Project Managers to keep deliverables aligned with scope, timelines, and client expectations
Lead client-facing technical conversations; communicate progress and risks in clear business terms
Troubleshoot complex issues and bring forward practical solutions
Produce accurate project documentation; ensure clean transition to Managed Services and Support
Serve as a technical escalation resource and mentor for Project Engineers
Technology Experience Requirements
Broad technical breadth and sound judgment valued over deep expertise in a single platform:
VMware, Hyper-V, servers, storage, backup, disaster recovery, endpoint management
Networking, switching, routing, wireless, firewalls, VPNs, identity and access management
Email, file, cloud, and infrastructure migrations; security-related infrastructure projects
Ideal Candidate Profile
Significant hands-on experience delivering IT infrastructure projects in an MSP or client-services environment
Demonstrated experience independently leading complex technical projects
Strong knowledge of Microsoft 365, Azure, Entra ID/Active Directory, Windows Server, networking, virtualization, backup, and security
Experience performing migrations and major infrastructure upgrades
Ability to assess an environment and determine an appropriate technical path forward
Strong troubleshooting, documentation, and client-facing communication skills
Ability to manage multiple projects and priorities with attention to detail
Ability to travel to client locations as required
Preferred Background and Experience
Prior MSP experience
Experience across multiple client environments and industries
Microsoft, VMware, networking, or security certifications
Experience with PSA and project-management platforms
Experience developing scopes, project plans, and implementation documentation
Experience supporting technical discovery and solution validation during the quoting process
