 * Execute cloud and infrastructure builds, including:
*

 + Microsoft 365 (Exchange Online, SharePoint Online, OneDrive, Teams, Intune, Conditional Access)
 + Entra ID (Azure AD), Windows Server, Active Directory, Group Policy
 + File and email migrations from legacy or on-premises environments
 + Network and security components such as firewalls, switches, and wireless access points
 * Perform and document cloud and infrastructure assessments, producing clear, prioritized recommendations aligned with client risk appetite, regulatory expectations, and industry best practices.
 * Follow and help refine documented onboarding, discovery, and quality control processes to ensure consistency, traceability, and audit readiness.
 * Serve as a technical escalation point for Junior Project Engineers and interns during onboarding projects, escalating complex issues as appropriate.
 * Collaborate closely with Project Managers to provide clear, timely updates on progress, risks, dependencies, and next steps to internal stakeholders and client leadership.
 * Produce and maintain high-quality technical documentation, including runbooks, configuration guides, and diagrams, suitable for audits, security reviews, and investor DDQs.
 * Contribute to continuous improvement by identifying opportunities for automation, standardization, and process refinement, and by feeding lessons learned back into onboarding standards and workflows.
