* Mentoring and providing guidance to junior IT staff and support technicians.
* Monitoring system performance and availability and implementing improvements as needed.
* Maintaining accurate documentation for system architecture, configurations, and processes.
* Working collaboratively with internal departments and external vendors to support business objectives.
