• Conduct general system troubleshooting, including log analysis, configuration validation, trace review, and verification of recent changes to isolate and resolve issues.
• Document procedures, system configurations, troubleshooting steps, and operational practices to support knowledge transfer and repeatability.
• Perform workstation and server patching (Windows and Linux) and maintain environment readiness for project teams, including command line configuration when required.
• Interpret and work with technical diagrams and documentation such as network topology diagrams, IP/LAN schemas, firewall configuration sheets, server architecture diagrams, and interface definitions.
• Configure workstations, applications, and system components to meet project and operational requirements.
• Communicate clearly with operators, project teams, cybersecurity, network teams, vendors, and other stakeholders regarding system status, issues, and deployment activities.
• Assist end users with system access issues, configuration questions, and functional requests such as login support, password resets, or new feature needs.
• Support application interface testing (e.g., SCADA, OMS, GIS, DMS modules, historian interfaces, ICCP, enterprise data integrations) to ensure data accuracy and availability.
• Create and manage operational and analytical reports (e.g., Power BI dashboards) to support operations and decision making.
• Work within virtualized environments and tools such as VMware vCenter for provisioning, monitoring, and maintaining system resources.
