IT Infrastructure Specialist

We are looking for an experienced IT Infrastructure Specialist to join a large, fast-paced technology environment in Greenville, SC. This is a hands-on role for someone who understands how data centers operate, can troubleshoot infrastructure problems, and has the experience to oversee outside vendors and infrastructure projects. What You’ll Really Be Doing Think of this role as the person who makes sure the technology behind a large operation stays connected, organized, secure, and working properly. You will spend most of your day helping run the data center, checking that equipment and systems are working, troubleshooting problems, and making sure vendors complete their work correctly. You will also work with servers, storage, networking, cabling, power systems, and other IT equipment. When a major problem happens, you will help figure out what went wrong, work with the right people to fix it, and help get everything back up and running. You will also help plan and manage infrastructure projects, keep documentation up to date, make sure work follows required standards, and identify potential problems before they become major issues., This is a long-term opportunity with no anticipated end date, giving you the chance to build a career within a large-scale technology environment rather than moving from project to project. If you have strong data center experience, understand IT infrastructure from the ground up, and enjoy solving problems while working with vendors and technical teams, we want to hear from you. Important Submission Information This position is being filled directly through our staffing program and is available to candidates who can work on a W-2 basis. At this time, we are unable to accept Corp-to-Corp (C2C), 1099, third-party recruiter submissions, or candidates requiring visa sponsorship. Please only submit your resume if you meet these requirements. This helps ensure we are able to give each candidate proper consideration and avoid delays in the hiring process. #LI-SJ1 #scjobs #Informationtechnology #datacenter #cabling #greenvillescjobs #greerscjobs
