Task & responsibilities

The Systems Administrator will:

• Build, configure and keep current the operating platforms used by the business and its managed-service clients, including the servers, supporting applications and data stores that sit underneath day-to-day operations.
• Shape how information is organised across those platforms, including the layout of records, field definitions and consistent naming, so that data remains usable and reliable as systems grow.
• Put in place routine copy and restore arrangements, control who can reach which systems, and keep the company ready to bring services back if an outage or security event occurs.
• Write and update the practical instructions, internal standards and run-books that the technical team uses, and keep an accurate record of changes, incidents and system activity.
• Validate patches, version changes and configuration updates before they go live, recreate reported problems, record what was found, and close each issue under the firm’s quality process.
• Investigate and correct faults on servers, related software, end-user machines and network links, staying with the job until the affected service is stable again.
• Review how equipment, applications and connectivity sit together at each location, adjust settings where performance is dropping, and advise management when additional capacity or a refresh is needed.
• Work with external security product vendors and contracted suppliers, select and look after protective tools in use, and check that agreed service levels are being met.
