Ready to be more than “just IT support”?
Join a high-performance MSP in Washington, DC where your technical expertise and client instincts actually matter. We’re looking for a Project Engineer who thrives on delivering clean, efficient solutions, while being the face of the project to business clients who rely on us.
Tired of being stuck behind the scenes?
This is your chance to own projects, guide clients, and architect real change. Join a fast-growing MSP in Washington, DC that delivers high-impact solutions to SMB clients across the region. We’re looking for a confident, experienced Project Engineer (Level 2.5) to lead deployments, upgrades, and migrations, while becoming a trusted technical partner to clients.
What You’ll Do:
- Lead project work: server builds, cloud migrations, network refreshes, firewalls, and more
- Scope, plan, and execute projects with clear communication and minimal disruption
- Be client-facing, manage expectations, build trust, and deliver exceptional outcomes
- Serve as escalation for complex issues from service desk team
- Stay hands-on with Microsoft 365, Windows Server, networking, firewalls (Fortinet, SonicWall, etc.), and virtualization
What You Bring:
- 4–6+ years of IT infrastructure experience, including direct client-facing project work
- 5 years of MSP experience is a must
- Microsoft 365 administration and migrations
- Networking (VLANs, VPNs, firewalls, switching)
- Virtualization (VMware or Hyper-V)
Why This Role Is Different:
- You’ll own the tech and the client relationship
- Small, high-performing team = visibility, impact, growth
- No bureaucracy, just real engineering work and room to evolve
- Direct access to leadership, fast-moving environment
- $115K + salary + 401(k) with match
- Paid certs & ongoing training
