Saskatoon, Canada University of Saskatchewan Full time

**System Administrator**:
The University of Saskatchewan is a world leader in water and food security, vaccine development and infectious diseases, and human, animal, and environmental health.

The division is also committed to fostering a workplace culture that promotes diversity, collaboration, and professional growth.

USask provides employees many benefits such as flexible work arrangements; access to the university’s recreation services; ongoing professional development and mentorship and a comprehensive benefits and pension program.

**Primary Purpose**:
The System Administrator, Virtualization, Storage and Backups provides deployment and ongoing support and administration on ICT systems, including server virtualization, large storage systems, compute farms, backup servers, and tape libraries, which underpin the teaching, learning, research and administrative goals of the university. The System Administrator ensures that the compute, storage and backup resources are highly available, effectively administered, patched, secured, repaired and maintained.

- Participate in the proposal, discussion and execution of services.
- Ensure liability and risk are responsibly mitigated by remaining current with best practices and managing contract and licensing relationships, including making recommendations on auditing practices.
