IT Project Engineer

Job Description

Job Description

Description:

NetGain Technologies is looking for a Senior Project Engineer to join our Professional Services team. This isn’t a break/fix role or a help desk escalation path — it’s a project delivery seat. You’ll execute structured implementation projects for small business, mid-market, and enterprise clients, working directly with our PMO from kickoff through documented closeout.

If you’re the kind of engineer who reads a project plan before touching a config, takes pride in leaving an environment better than you found it, and can walk into a client site and own the room — this role is for you.

Execute infrastructure implementation projects end-to-end, including Windows Server deployments, virtualization migrations (VMware and Hyper-V), and network/firewall buildouts across client environments. You’ll work from a defined SOW and project plan, coordinating directly with a dedicated Project Manager and documenting completed work before the project closes. Expect a mix of remote delivery and periodic client site work.

• Deploy and migrate Windows Server environments (2016–2022)

• Design and implement VMware vSphere/ESXi and Microsoft Hyper-V solutions

• Configure enterprise firewall platforms (Fortinet, Cisco, and similar)

• Execute network infrastructure projects including routing, switching, VLANs, and VPNs

• Produce required documentation at project close

• Flag out-of-scope conditions to your PM so change orders can be processed correctly

• Work directly with clients on-site and remotely to deliver exceptional results

• Windows Server (2016–2022), Active Directory / Entra ID

• VMware vSphere / ESXi

• Microsoft Hyper-V

• Fortinet FortiGate, Cisco (routing/switching), Aruba, Meraki

• Azure, Microsoft 365

• 5+ years of hands-on infrastructure engineering experience in an MSP or project-delivery environment

• Demonstrable depth in Windows Server and at least one major virtualization platform (VMware or Hyper-V)

• Strong firewall configuration and network troubleshooting skills — especially Fortinet

• Comfort working within a structured project methodology — you follow a plan, communicate proactively, and escalate scope issues rather than absorbing them

• The ability to translate technical work into clear client-facing communication

• Willingness to travel to client sites as needed

• Microsoft, VMware, or Fortinet/NSE certifications

• CCNA or CCNP

• Experience with ConnectWise

• Multi-site deployment experience

• A track record of clean project closeouts with fully documented environments

• Open PTO

• Paid certification training

• Medical, dental, vision, HSA/FSA

• 401(k)

• Employer-paid life/disability coverage

• A team that holds itself to a high standard and actually likes working together
