Job description

We're looking for a Network Support Engineer II who can handle Level 1-3 support tickets, escalations, and troubleshooting across network, cloud, and security environments.

This role is primarily support-focused, but requires the ability to:

  • Understand how systems are designed
  • Make sound technical decisions during troubleshooting
  • Maintain compliance with security frameworks (CMMC, NIST)
  • Must have Microsoft Admin center experience
  • Microsoft Entra Cloud
  • Microsoft Cloud
  • RMM Tools Experience
  • PSA Tools Experience

This is not entry-level support. You will be expected to resolve complex issues, communicate directly with clients, and ensure all work is fully documented and audit-ready.

What You'll Do

Advanced Support & Troubleshooting

  • Resolve Level 1, 2 and Level 3 support tickets across:
  • Networking (connectivity, routing, VPNs, VLANs)
  • Microsoft 365 environments
  • Azure / cloud systems (basic to intermediate)
  • Identity & access issues (Entra ID, MFA, permissions)
  • Troubleshoot issues end-to-end and implement permanent fixes, not workarounds
  • Act as an escalation point for Level 1 technicians

Client Communication

  • Communicate directly with clients via phone and email
  • Clearly explain issues, resolutions, and timelines
  • Set expectations and maintain professionalism at all times

Ticketing & Documentation (Critical)

  • Fully document all work performed in tickets, including:
  • Root cause
  • Troubleshooting steps
  • Resolution details
  • Ensure documentation is clear, complete, and audit-ready
  • Follow and contribute to SOPs and runbooks
  • Maintain accurate system and configuration documentation

Compliance & Security Awareness

  • Troubleshoot and resolve issues while maintaining compliance with:
  • CMMC 2
  • NIST 800-171
  • Follow secure practices (least privilege, access control, etc.)
  • Understand how changes impact compliance and security posture

Light Engineering / Implementation

  • Assist with small implementations and changes, such as:
  • Firewall rule updates
  • User access configurations
  • Network adjustments
  • Follow established standards when making changes
  • Escalate design decisions to senior engineers when needed, What Success Looks Like
  • You consistently resolve complex tickets without escalation
  • Your tickets are fully documented and audit-ready every time
  • Clients trust your communication and clarity
  • You follow processes but also understand why they exist
  • You escalate appropriately

What This Role Is NOT

  • Not entry-level / help desk only
  • Not a pure architect or design-heavy engineering role
  • Not a "close tickets fast" position - quality and documentation matter as much as speed

Why Join Us

  • Work in a compliance-driven, security-focused environment
  • Gain exposure to regulated environments (CMMC / DIB clients)
  • Clear path to Lead Network Engineer or Cybersecurity roles
  • High accountability, high growth environment

Additional Requirements

  • Ability to pass background and drug check
  • Comfortable working with regulated and sensitive environments
  • Strong adherence to process, documentation, and security standards

Pay: $65,000.00 - $75,000.00 per year

Requirements

Do you have experience in Ticketing system technical support?, * 5-7 years experience in IT support, networking, or MSP environments

  • Strong troubleshooting skills across:
  • Networking (TCP/IP, DNS, DHCP, VPNs)
  • Microsoft 365
  • Advance Azure/cloud environments

  • Strong written and verbal communication skills
  • High attention to detail in documentation

Preferred
