IT Systems and Network Consultant

Overview

VSM Consulting has been an industry leader in remote and on-site IT solutions to clients across Alberta since 1993. We are expanding our team and seeking an experienced IT Systems and Network Consultant in the Calgary region for a hybrid role that balances working on-site, in Southern Alberta, with remote support to clients in other regions. Applicants should already be living and established within the Southern Alberta region (relocation is not an option).

The right candidate thrives on solving technical challenges, communicates with confidence and clarity, and takes full ownership from diagnosis through resolution. This position demands professionalism, independence, and leadership, balanced with strong teamwork and collaboration skills. You will represent VSM Consulting directly at client sites and serve as a trusted technical advisor.

To succeed in this role, you must already live in Southern Alberta. You must bring substantial hands-on experience in modern Windows and Microsoft 365 environments, including Windows Server (2016–2025), TCP/IP networking, and hardware infrastructure design and support. This is a hybrid role, not a remote-only helpdesk position. You must possess field-level expertise, be able to problem-solve under pressure, and have the communication skills to meet the client at their knowledge level to provide the quality customer service that VSM Consulting has proudly been providing for over 30 years.

If you're motivated by helping businesses succeed through technology and take pride in finding efficient, practical solutions, we'd love to hear from you.
