We are seeking a highly skilled and motivated Systems Administrator to join our client’s dynamic team. This role is on-Site in Kansas City, MO.

About the Company

We’re partnered with a growing, technology-driven organization that relies on a stable, secure, and well-maintained IT environment to support day-to-day operations across the business. Their infrastructure spans a mix of on-prem and cloud-based systems, and IT plays a critical role in keeping everything running smoothly.


The Role

This is a well-rounded Systems Administrator position focused on owning and supporting the day-to-day IT environment.

Rather than a narrow specialist role, this position is ideal for someone who enjoys working across systems, infrastructure, and user support-handling everything from patching and updates to troubleshooting and operational improvements.

You’ll be a key part of the IT team, ensuring systems are secure, up-to-date, and performing effectively, while also supporting escalated technical issues and collaborating with internal teams and external vendors when needed.


Key Responsibilities

  • Manage and maintain Windows and/or Linux server environments
  • Perform patching and update management across systems and endpoints
  • Support vulnerability management and remediation efforts
  • Administer Active Directory / Azure AD (Entra ID) including user provisioning, access control, and group policies
  • Handle software installation, deployment, and licensing
  • Provide Tier 2 / Tier 3 support for escalated technical issues
  • Monitor system performance and troubleshoot infrastructure issues
  • Support core network services such as DNS, DHCP, and VPN
  • Collaborate with vendors and internal teams on more specialized projects when required
  • Contribute to overall IT operations and environment stability

What They’re Looking For

  • 4-8+ years of experience in a Systems Administrator / IT Infrastructure role
  • Strong hands-on experience with:
    • Windows Server and/or Linux
    • Active Directory / Azure AD
    • Patching tools (WSUS, SCCM, Intune, or similar)
  • Experience supporting infrastructure and end-user environments
  • Ability to troubleshoot and resolve issues independently
  • Comfortable working across a broad IT environment rather than a specialized niche
  • Strong communication skills and ability to work cross-functionally

Nice to Have

  • Experience with virtualization (VMware, Hyper-V)
  • Exposure to cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP)
  • Familiarity with endpoint security tools / vulnerability scanning
  • Scripting or automation experience (PowerShell, Bash, etc.)

Why This Role?

  • Opportunity to take ownership of a broad IT environment
  • High visibility role with impact across the organization
  • Great fit for someone who enjoys variety and hands-on work
  • Stable, long-term opportunity with growth potential
