About This Role:

At Collavion, we are looking for an IT Systems Administrator who wants more than just “keeping the lights on.” We are looking for someone who wants to build, improve, secure, optimize, and modernize the technology infrastructure that supports a rapidly growing organization.

IT Systems Administrator Role: (This is not a help desk role)

This is a high-impact infrastructure role for an IT professional who enjoys ownership, solving complex technical challenges, and helping a business scale properly.

You will be a key technical resource responsible for maintaining and evolving our IT environment across servers, networking, Microsoft 365, virtualization, cybersecurity, and cloud systems.

You’ll work closely with leadership and operational teams to ensure our technology environment is stable, secure, efficient, and built for growth.

You will also play a major role in:

• Modernizing systems and processes

• Driving IT projects and infrastructure improvements

• Strengthening cybersecurity and operational resiliency

• Supporting a growing user base across multiple departments

• Creating scalable systems instead of temporary fixes

If you enjoy building structure, improving environments, and being trusted to own critical infrastructure decisions — this is the role for you.

• Partner with departments across the business to understand operational needs and deliver effective solutions

• Communicate technical concepts clearly to non-technical stakeholders

• Experience with Azure or AWS is an asset

• Experience with PowerShell or Python scripting is an asset

• Strong troubleshooting and analytical problem-solving skills

• Ability to manage projects independently and execute with minimal oversight

• Strong documentation and organizational discipline

• Excellent communication and professionalism

Most importantly:

You take ownership.

You do not wait to be told there is a problem.
