Network Administrator jobs in Middlesex, NJ

Network Administrator 

Overview:

A Network Administrator is expected to have strong interpersonal skills and the ability to relate to individuals at all levels of an organization. Vertilocity's Management expects that a Network Administrator will ensure the client is confident in Vertilocity's ability to successfully complete an engagement and provide consultative input to assist clientele in meeting their business objectives. 

This role requires strong leadership qualities. An individual must be self-directed and self-motivated. A Network Administrator requires the experience and skillset to evaluate, support, and improve a client's technology environment. These efforts are performed as a team in which the Network Administrator directs, prioritizes, and manages to Verticity's standards and objectives.

In order to perform at a high standard, learning new skills and technologies is required. Vertilocity expects that a Network Administrator will stay up to date on the solutions being introduced, whether they be an all-encompassing solution or third-party add-ons. Training and self-learning should happen together. Although training and self-improvement are independent undertakings for each individual, they should be communicated and coordinated with Management. The continuous improvement of skills is an evaluation factor for a Network Administrator.

A Network Administrator will sometimes be on-site working at the client's location, and the ability to travel to the client is required (mostly local).

A Network Administrator should gain certification in any solution in which Vertilocity is presenting to our clientele. 

This role calls for solid writing skills and organization. Time should be accurately entered, and the written details outlining the time entry should be clear and justify the effort in terms of time entered.
