Key Responsibilities:
Install, configure, and maintain Windows Server operating systems and applications.
Monitor system performance and troubleshoot issues to ensure optimal operation of Wintel environments.
Manage Active Directory, including user accounts, group policies, and permissions.
Implement and manage backup solutions to ensure data integrity and availability.
Support hardware and software installations, upgrades, and patches.
Configure and manage virtualization environments using VMware or Hyper-V.
Maintain network and system security in compliance with company policies.

Collaborate with other IT staff to support the organization's infrastructure and project needs.
Provide technical support and guidance to end-users and other IT personnel.
