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
