IT Project Engineer

Ready to take your IT infrastructure experience beyond day-to-day support and put your technical skills to work on a variety of challenging projects?

We're partnering with a growing technology services organization seeking an IT Project Engineer who enjoys hands-on implementation, solving technical challenges, and working directly with customers.

This is an opportunity to gain exposure to a broad range of technologies and customer environments while working alongside a collaborative team that values technical expertise, professional growth, and exceptional service.

Based in Columbus, Nebraska, this is a full-time, onsite position with a Monday–Friday, 8 AM–5 PM schedule. Approximately 30% of the role involves travel to customer locations, with a company vehicle provided for those visits.

What You'll Be Doing

• Plan, configure, and implement IT infrastructure solutions across customer environments.
• Deploy and support cloud-based technologies, including Microsoft Azure and Microsoft 365.
• Work with Windows Server, Active Directory, Group Policy, DNS, and virtualization technologies.
• Implement and configure network infrastructure, including wireless, LAN, and WAN solutions.
• Support desktop, server, and cloud-related projects, both onsite and remotely.
• Coordinate with project leadership and other technical resources to ensure successful implementations.
• Troubleshoot technical issues and respond to project-related escalations.
• Provide customers with technical guidance, training, and support following implementations.
• Maintain clear communication with customers and internal teams throughout project delivery.

What We're Looking For

• 2–3+ years of professional IT experience, including hands-on infrastructure and Azure/Microsoft 365 implementation.
• Experience in a managed services provider (MSP) or IT consulting environment preferred, ideally 2+ years.
• Practical experience implementing and supporting:
• Microsoft Azure, Microsoft 365, and Google Workspace
• Windows Server, Active Directory, Group Policy, and DNS
• VMware and/or Hyper-V virtualization
• Wireless networking and LAN/WAN technologies
• Desktop operating systems and business applications
• Ability to plan and execute technical projects with limited supervision.
• Strong troubleshooting, organizational, and time-management skills.
• Excellent communication skills and a customer-focused approach.
• Comfortable working directly with customers, including providing onsite support and training.

Why Consider This Opportunity?

If you enjoy variety in your work, this position offers the opportunity to implement solutions across multiple customer environments rather than supporting the same internal systems every day. You'll join a growing organization where collaboration, continued learning, and taking ownership of your work are valued.

For an IT professional who enjoys combining technical engineering with customer interaction, this could be an excellent next step.
