The Level 2 Administrator applies practical, mid‑level systems and network administration expertise to solve real business‑impacting problems across diverse client environments while maintaining high customer satisfaction.

Required Real‑world Experience Candidates should be prepared to explain past configurations, decisions made, and problems solved—not just list technologies used.
