  • Proficiency in Microsoft 365, Exchange Online, and hybrid AD environments.
  • Experience with virtualization (VMware, Hyper-V) and cloud platforms (Azure/AWS).
  • Familiarity with RMM/PSA tools (ConnectWise, Halo, Kaseya, N-central, Datto, etc.).
  • Strong troubleshooting and customer service skills; ability to explain technical issues to non-technical users.
  • Relevant certifications (CCNA/CCNP, CompTIA Network+/Security+, MCSA/MCSE, Azure/AWS certs) are a plus.
