You will deliver day-to-day IT operation, acting as the primary driver for 1st/2nd line support and assisting with 3rd line escalations.

Active Directory Administration: Manage users, groups, and OU structures; design and deploy Group Policy Objects (GPOs) to enforce security baselines and automate software deployment.
Automation & Scripting: Write and maintain scripts (PowerShell, Python, or Bash) to automate repetitive tasks, such as bulk user updates, log gathering, or system health checks.
Network Operations: Operate and improve local networks (VLANs, switching, Wi-Fi, VPN) and manage firewall/remote access policies (SonicWall preferred).
Infrastructure Health: Deliver patching/firmware updates for servers and network equipment; maintain and test backup/restore procedures.
Security Integration: Work with the security function on logging enablement (syslog forwarding, time sync) and endpoint hardening.
Documentation: Maintain real-time asset lists, network diagrams, and change records.
