IT Project Engineer

We believe talent deserves a human touch. Your application will be read by an actual person who’s excited to discover the real you.

We believe talent deserves a human touch — and so do our clients.
Nettech is looking for a skilled, detail-oriented IT Project Engineer to join our Client Success team. This role is built around one core idea: don't wait for things to break. You'll be the person who keeps our clients' environments healthy, secure, and aligned to standards — working through a structured queue in ConnectWise Manage to identify deficiencies, remediate issues, and continuously improve the technology environments we manage.
This is not a reactive helpdesk role. You'll be working proactively — assessing environments, acting on findings, and partnering with our vCIO team to ensure client technology stays ahead of problems rather than behind them. When the project team needs a strong technical resource, you'll step in — but your home base is Client Success.
This role requires reliable transportation and regular travel across Nettech's Shreveport and Little Rock service markets. If you're someone who takes pride in clean environments, communicates clearly without being prompted, and genuinely enjoys making things better before they break, this role was built for you.Primary Responsibilities

Proactive Client Success (Primary Focus)

• Remediate findings across endpoints, identity, security, networking, and cloud platforms
• Partner closely with the vCIO team to surface findings, prioritize remediation, and support client roadmap conversations
• Perform client onboarding assessments — evaluating Microsoft 365 configuration, endpoint health, security posture, and network infrastructure
• Entra ID device joins, Conditional Access review, licensing audits, and M365 tenant health checks
• Maintain accurate, detailed documentation of all work performed — your ticket notes should tell the full story

• Strong working knowledge of Microsoft 365, Entra ID, Intune, and Defender
• Hands-on experience with SonicWall and Ubiquiti UniFi platforms
• Experience working in ConnectWise Manage and/or ConnectWise Sell
• Exceptional communication skills — this is non-negotiable. Clear Slack updates, thorough ticket notes, and professional client interaction are core expectations of this role
• Ability to manage a high-volume queue while maintaining quality, accuracy, and attention to detail
• Comfortable in a fast-paced environment that requires frequent context switching between client environments and issue types
• Self-motivated with the ability to prioritize and execute independently
