Job description
Role: Sr. Project Engineer / Sr. Solutions Engineer
Location: Houston, TX 77084 (Onsite)
Job Type: Full Time
About the Role
On behalf of our IT client, we're hiring a Sr. Project Engineer (also known as a Sr. Solutions Engineer) for a full‑time, direct hire role at a growing managed IT services provider in Houston. This is a hands‑on execution role, not a leadership or architecture position - you'll be the person actually running the project, from racking hardware to migrating tenants to closing out a client's Technology Business Review.
You'll drive IT projects from scoping through delivery for clients typically in the 50 to 100 employee range, working across a genuinely balanced mix of on‑prem infrastructure and cloud migration work. Along the way, you'll also own the security posture of every project you touch, making sure client risk, compliance, and service commitments stay protected as changes go in.
If you enjoy variety, client‑facing work, and being trusted to make the right call under pressure, this role gives you room to do all three.
What You'll Do
Lead the scoping, technical planning, and execution of IT projects, including task breakdown and estimation, delivered within budget
Execute Office 365, SharePoint, and Azure cloud migrations, including secure tenant‑to‑tenant transitions with minimal client disruption
Design and install network systems for client office openings and relocations, including firewalls, switches, and access points, plus VPN setup and clean cable management
Configure and install server hardware and software, maintaining detailed documentation and compatibility with existing infrastructure
Manage Hyper‑V environments, including live migration, export/import, host upgrades, and VM storage
Deploy Intune across client organizations and ensure devices are configured and compliant
Perform AD migrations, ensuring accurate replication of user accounts and permissions
Evaluate the security, compliance, and contractual impact of design and troubleshooting decisions before implementation, building security requirements into every project plan from the start
Support client security and compliance initiatives, including MFA enforcement, password management, MDM, O365 security hardening, IT audits, HIPAA and other regulatory reviews, access governance, identity architecture, and data protection implementations like Microsoft Purview and DLP
Lead client lifecycle engagements, including onboarding assessments, post‑acquisition IT readiness discovery, and structured decommissioning projects with data preservation requirements
Produce written deployment plans covering domain structure, naming conventions, IP/subnet schemes, and network diagrams, and secure stakeholder approval before configuration begins
Define and execute post‑change validation for every migration, including replication health, data consistency, and application checks, and document root‑cause analysis for failed changes
Design, implement, and verify backup and disaster recovery plans, including documented and tested restore procedures, in coordination with the client's backup partner
Maintain real‑time ticket documentation and IT Glue/MyGlue records, author SOPs, and support Technology Business Reviews
Act as a technical liaison during pre‑sales consultations, including project estimation and client scoping conversations
Provide regular updates to the Project Manager and collaborate closely with other engineers to keep projects on timeline
What You Bring
8+ years of relevant IT experience, including previous work at a Managed Services Provider (MSP) or IT consulting firm
Strong installation and cabling experience, including racking servers and network equipment
Proven Azure migration expertise, including hands‑on Intune deployment
Strong Hyper‑V expertise: live migration, export/import, host upgrades, and VM storage management
Server configuration and installation experience alongside network setup, including firewalls, switches, and access points
Deep working knowledge of layered security environments, including endpoint protection, application allowlisting, email security gateways, Group Policy hardening, and MFA/identity controls, with a clear understanding of how a change to one control affects the client's overall risk profile
Hands‑on experience with business‑class backup/BDR platforms such as Acronis, Datto, or Replibit, including tested restore procedures
Experience delivering in co‑managed or partner‑supported models, working alongside vendor engineers
Strong consultative scoping and estimation skills, with the ability to write a clear SOW‑level scope and justify investment to a client decision‑maker
Strong expertise with MSP technology stacks, including ConnectWise, Kaseya, IT Glue, and common backup and security platforms
Exceptional communication skills, with the ability to translate complex technical information into business terms for clients and stakeholders
Valid driver's license and access to a reliable, insured vehicle suitable for transporting equipment such as servers, workstations, or UPS units to client sites
Willingness to travel locally and regionally within the Greater Houston area, with occasional in‑state and out‑of‑state travel as project needs require
Nice to Have
Industry certifications such as AZ-104, MS-100, CCNA, CCNP, or ITIL
Experience serving clients in regulated industries, including healthcare (HIPAA), legal, or financial services
IT audit experience
Experience with Microsoft modern workplace technologies, including Copilot deployment, Purview/DLP, and Windows 365/Cloud PC
Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or equivalent experience
