Network Administrator

This is a rare opportunity to join a well-established IT service provider as their Senior Network Engineer. In this role, you will be the main point of technical expertise for clients, helping design and evolve their network environments while strengthening security and resolving complex escalations (L3). You will work closely with both clients and internal teams, acting as a trusted advisor and contributing to long-term technology roadmaps and high-impact projects.

This company has been operating successfully for 20 years, and you’ll be joining a team of experienced IT professionals. This company is headquartered in Winnipeg, and they have customers right across Canada.

As this is a senior-level role, the preference is for the position to be based in Winnipeg to stay close to the team and support a large client base. Being onsite helps with collaboration and ensures you’re available for client visits and priority engagements. From time-to-time, you may travel to the individual locations to do upgrades and configuration of the physical hardware.

In this role, you’ll wear many hats. Your primary focus will be on designing and implementing enterprise‑grade network solutions across on‑prem, hybrid, and cloud environments. You’ll take the lead on engagements, guide security and high‑availability designs, and act as the senior escalation point for complex incidents. You’ll work closely with other teams to deliver integrated solutions, support client meetings when needed, and ensure clear documentation and standards.

This is a full-time position, and includes a competitive base salary, paid vacation and extended health and dental benefits.
