Level 2 IT Technician / Systems Administrator (MSP)

About Us

We are a growing Managed Services Provider (MSP) based in the Princeton, NJ area, supporting small businesses across Central New Jersey. As we continue to mature, we're looking for a capable Level 2 technician to take ownership of day-to-day systems work, client-facing projects, and escalated support issues.

This role is ideal for someone who has moved beyond helpdesk work and is ready to deepen their experience across servers, Microsoft 365, and networking in a client-facing MSP environment.

Role Overview

The Level 2 Technician will support and maintain client IT environments, assist with server and Microsoft 365 projects, and deploy and support network infrastructure. While senior leadership will still provide architectural guidance for complex projects, this role is expected to execute independently, communicate professionally with clients, and manage work with minimal supervision.

You will regularly interact with client leadership, including executives and business owners, so strong communication and professionalism are essential.
