Summary Generated by Built In
The Professional Services Project Engineer delivers ITC's client technology projects across Microsoft 365 and identity, network, server, cloud, and endpoint environments, from scoping and planning through cutover and a quality-controlled handoff to service. 
Beyond technical execution, this engineer plans the work, runs client calls, documents thoroughly, and drives vendors to resolution. The role handles many small projects at once as well as large multi-site and multi-company programs. 
This is a hands-on delivery role. The Project Engineer is accountable for completing projects to scope, on schedule, and fully documented, leaving each environment ready for Service to support.

  • Collaborate with third-party vendors and co-managed IT teams, and drive issues to resolution. 
  • Maintain clear and thorough documentation of systems, configurations, and project processes. 
  • Record daily time entries, expenses, and work notes in ConnectWise.

  • Use PowerShell and other tools to automate repetitive work.
