About the Opportunity:

Our client, a leader in the autonomous vehicle industry, is looking for a skilled IT Operations Specialist  to join their team for a 6-month engagement. This project involves supporting the Technical Operations (TechOps) function within a mission-critical, real-time operations center.

Required Skills & Experience:

We are looking for someone with a proven track record of successful contract engagements. The ideal candidate will have:

  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills.
  • Prior hands-on experience in at least two of the following:
    • Windows workstation support

    • TCP/IP networking or systems administration
    • Web application or infrastructure troubleshooting
