Job Description

Who We Are

F1 Technology Group is a fast-paced Managed Service Provider (MSP) supporting businesses across the Houston area. We deliver proactive IT solutions, strategic guidance, and high-level technical execution for small to mid-sized organizations.

We’re growing and looking for a Senior IT Consultant / Systems Administrator who thrives in an MSP environment—someone who can own projects, handle escalations, and confidently lead client conversations.

This is an onsite, client-facing role based in Houston. Remote work is not available.

About the Role

This position is ideal for a senior technician or consultant with strong MSP experience who wants ownership, variety, and the ability to make a direct impact.

You will:

• Work across multiple client environments (not just one network)
• Lead projects from design through delivery
• Act as a Tier 3 escalation point for complex issues
• Serve as a trusted advisor to clients

This is not a ticket-only role—you’ll be expected to think strategically and execute at a high level.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and implement infrastructure solutions (Windows Server, SQL, VMware)
• Support and troubleshoot multi-site network environments (WAN/LAN, SonicWall, Meraki)
• Administer cloud and hybrid systems (Microsoft 365, Azure, SharePoint)
• Manage backup and disaster recovery platforms (Veeam, Datto, SAN/NAS)
• Lead full project lifecycle:
• • Scoping and solution design
  • Proposal input and client discussions
  • Implementation and documentation
• Act as the technical escalation point for Service Desk and Field teams
• Maintain clean and accurate documentation (diagrams, configs, standards)
• Communicate directly with business owners and executive stakeholders
• Participate in on-call rotation and daily dispatch coordination
• Accurately track time and maintain ticket discipline
• Stay current with evolving MSP tools, security practices, and technologies

What We’re Looking For

✅ Experience

• 7+ years in IT, with recent MSP or consulting experience strongly preferred
• Proven success supporting multiple client environments simultaneously
• Experience owning projects, not just support tickets

✅ Technical Skills

• Microsoft stack (Windows Server, Active Directory, Microsoft 365, Azure)
• Virtualization (VMware / Hyper-V)
• Networking (firewalls, switching, VPNs)
• Backup & DR (Veeam, Datto, similar)

✅ Core Competencies

• Advanced troubleshooting and root cause analysis
• Strong documentation habits (critical in MSP environments)
• Ability to prioritize constantly shifting workloads
• Confident, professional communication with clients

✅ Bonus Points

• Experience with ConnectWise or similar PSA/RMM tools
• Industry certifications (Microsoft, Azure, VMware, Cisco)

Core Values

We hire and retain people who demonstrate:

• Integrity – Do the right thing, even when no one is watching
• Understanding – Listen first, solve with intent
• Innovation – Continuously improve systems and processes
• Communication – Clear, direct, and proactive
• Reliability – Consistent execution and follow-through

Why Join F1? (Houston MSP Environment)

• Work across diverse industries and technologies—not stuck in one environment
• High-impact role with real ownership and autonomy
• Direct exposure to client leadership and business decision-making
• Team culture focused on accountability, process, and execution
• Opportunities to grow into lead consultant or architecture roles

Compensation & Schedule

• Competitive salary based on experience
• Bonus opportunities tied to performance
• Full-time onsite role (Houston area clients + office)
• On-call rotation as part of team schedule

Note: Candidates without MSP or multi-client support experience may not be considered.
