## Description

LATG is seeking an Infrastructure Operations Site Lead to join our growing technical team in a fast-paced and collaborative environment. This role supports the day-to-day operation, patching, hardening, monitoring and restoration of a large VMware-based test infrastructure for a health IT program. It leads an on-site team of systems, network, storage and data center professionals who keep critical test environments available, secure and ready for every scheduled test event. The ideal candidate is detail-oriented, adaptable, and eager to contribute to innovative projects that support both internal and customer-driven initiatives.

What you'll be doing:

 * Serve as LATG's on-site lead and primary point of contact for infrastructure operations at the Chantilly test center and the Ashburn data center.
 * Supervise, schedule and mentor a team of systems administrators, network engineers, storage, VDI and data center technicians across staggered shifts covering 6:00 a.m.-8:00 p.m. ET.
 * Run the infrastructure on-call rotation and act as incident lead for critical outages through restoration and root cause analysis.
 * Coordinate with the prime contractor's Infrastructure Lead, the Facility and Lab Manager, cybersecurity staff and Government stakeholders on priorities, schedules and escalations.
 * Make sure the team delivers on patching, vulnerability remediation and STIG compliance deadlines, and report status and risks to leadership.
 * Plan maintenance and changes around Government test calendars and change freezes so test events are never disrupted.
 * Serve as the escalation point for complex service desk tickets that need infrastructure support.
 * Maintain cross-training, coverage plans and runbooks so every role has a qualified backup.
 * Lead onboarding for new staff, including access requests and training compliance.
