The Dirks Group, a trusted MSP supporting organizations across central Wisconsin, is looking for a  Systems Administrator to design, implement, and support modern infrastructure solutions.

• Design, deploy, support, and continuously improve  client infrastructure across networking, servers, and cloud environments

• Work with technologies including  firewalls, switches, wireless, VPNs, physical/virtual servers, Azure, and Microsoft 365
