Description

NetGain Technologies is looking for a Project Engineer to join our Professional Services team. This isn’t a break/fix role or a help desk escalation path — it’s a project delivery seat. You’ll execute structured implementation projects for small business, mid-market, and enterprise clients, working directly with our PMO from kickoff through documented closeout.

If you’re the kind of engineer who reads a project plan before touching a config, takes pride in leaving an environment better than you found it, and can walk into a client site and own the room — this role is for you.

What You’ll Do

Execute infrastructure implementation projects end-to-end, including Windows Server deployments, virtualization migrations (VMware and Hyper-V), and network/firewall buildouts across client environments. You’ll work from a defined SOW and project plan, coordinating directly with a dedicated Project Manager and documenting completed work before the project closes. Expect a mix of remote delivery and periodic client site work.

  • Deploy and migrate Windows Server environments (2016–2022)
  • Implement VMware vSphere/ESXi and Microsoft Hyper-V solutions
  • Configure enterprise firewall platforms (Fortinet, Cisco, and similar)
  • Execute network infrastructure projects including routing, switching, VLANs, and VPNs
  • Produce required documentation at project close
  • Flag out-of-scope conditions to your PM so change orders can be processed correctly
  • Work directly with clients on-site and remotely to deliver exceptional results
Tech You’ll Work With
  • Windows Server (2016–2022), Active Directory / Entra ID
  • VMware vSphere / ESXi
  • Microsoft Hyper-V
  • Fortinet FortiGate, Cisco (routing/switching), Aruba, Meraki
  • Microsoft 365
What We’re Looking For
  • 5+ years of hands-on infrastructure engineering experience in an MSP or project-delivery environment
  • Demonstrable depth in Windows Server and at least one major virtualization platform (VMware or Hyper-V)
  • Strong firewall configuration and network troubleshooting skills — especially Fortinet
  • Comfort working within a structured project methodology — you follow a plan, communicate proactively, and escalate scope issues rather than absorbing them
  • The ability to translate technical work into clear client-facing communication
  • Willingness to travel to client sites as needed
Bonus Points
  • Microsoft, VMware, or Fortinet/NSE certifications
  • CCNA or CCNP
  • Experience with ConnectWise
  • Multi-site deployment experience
  • A track record of clean project closeouts with fully documented environments
Why NetGain?
  • Open PTO
  • Paid certification training
  • Medical, dental, vision, HSA/FSA
  • 401(k) with Company match
  • Employer-paid life/disability coverage
  • A team that holds itself to a high standard and actually likes working together

Core Values: These are table stakes for us at NetGain. Our Core Values guide every decision we make. This role is meant to create an experience that supports the values and goals of NetGain and fosters a one-of-a-kind service experience for our clients.
