SUMMARY
The Network Engineer Tier 2 is a critical part of the Client’s service team and covers

Client’s systems, keeps the after-hours queue moving, completes scheduled
maintenance overnight, and hands a clean board to the US team each morning.

infrastructure work, and occasional incoming support calls.

configuration changes, and remote diagnostics.

the US team starts the day.

o Basic network connectivity concepts such as TCP/IP, switches, routers,

• Managed Service Provider (MSP) experience is strongly preferred. Candidates
from other IT support environments can be considered.

equivalent ticketing-system experience is acceptable.
• Working with an RMM tool and patch management. Kaseya experience
preferred.
• Ability to follow written procedures exactly and document work as it is done.
