Purpose of Position:

The Fastfrate Group is looking for a systems administrator for our Woodbridge, Ontario location. Reporting to the IT Systems Manager, the systems administrator will work with other IT team members to provide day-to-day administration of the company’s computing platforms in a hybrid in-house/cloud hosted environment.

This is a full-time position, on site during regular business hours for most work, with the potential for hybrid work depending on the tasks and projects.

Supervision:

Supervisory responsibilities may include overseeing the work of junior IT staff or interns as needed, providing guidance and mentorship to enhance their professional development and ensure alignment with departmental goals.

Decision Making and Judgment:

This role requires a high level of independent decision making and judgment, especially in the areas of system configuration, troubleshooting, and proactive maintenance. The IT Systems Administrator must assess and prioritize system issues and user requests to ensure stable and secure operations. Decisions regarding the deployment of new technologies or upgrades, as well as responses to potential security threats, must be made considering organizational impact, cost, and benefit. Regular consultation with the IT Systems Manager and relevant stakeholders is essential for strategic decisions.

Impact of Errors:

Errors in this role can have significant impacts, including system downtime, data loss, security breaches, and financial costs. It is crucial that the IT Systems Administrator meticulously plans and executes system changes and maintenance to minimize risks. A failure to properly manage and protect system integrity can lead to operational disruptions affecting the entire organization. The Systems Administrator must ensure that all system backups, disaster recovery processes, and security protocols are rigorously maintained and regularly updated to mitigate potential errors.

Thank you to all applicants, however, only those under consideration will be contacted.
