Job Summary


PJ Networks is a Managed Services Provider (MSP) looking for an experienced Network Systems Engineer to join our team as a Field Engineer.  You’ll be assigned a portfolio of clients and serve as their trusted technology partner, responsible for the design, installation, and support of their business network infrastructure and security.

This isn't a "fix it and forget it" role. Our engineers build lasting relationships with their clients, proactively improving their technology environments and helping drive their business success. You'll work closely with our help desk, remote monitoring, and dispatch teams to ensure every client receives responsive, high-quality service.


If you enjoy solving complex problems, working independently in the field, and being the person clients trust and rely on then this is the role for you.

About PJ Networks

PJ Networks has been providing professional IT support to small and medium sized businesses in Central Virginia since 2005.  We deliver managed IT services, cloud solutions, on-site and remote support, and strategic technology consulting.    Our mission is to enhance the value and success of our clients’ businesses by providing superior, client-focused IT services and solutions.  


We're a small, collaborative, and dedicated team that takes pride in building long-term relationships with our clients. If you like variety, enjoy being part of something bigger than just your job title, and want to work with people who genuinely care about doing good work—you'll fit right in.

  • Provide on-site and remote support, prioritized based on urgency and client needs
  • Document configurations, procedures, and client environments thoroughly
  • Communicate proactively with clients about issues, projects, and recommendations
Qualifications


Required:


  • Minimum of 5 years as a Network Systems Engineer or Network Administrator, or 3+ years working for a Managed Services Provider
  • Strong knowledge of Windows Server operating systems (2016–2025)
  • Experience administering and troubleshooting Microsoft 365 tenants and services
  • Experience configuring and managing firewalls and switches (Sophos experience a plus)

Preferred:
