Job Title:
IT Systems Administrator (TS Eligible)

8-month contract position initially. This role will be filling in for someone going on military leave. Long term, it is very possible for this position to “open doors” to longer term employment.

Compensation:
We are generally targeting $55.00/hr to $60.00/hr to start, but there may be some additional flexibility for well qualified candidates. Overtime paid at 1.5x over 40 hours (but OT is unlikely given the hours for this role).
Benefits:
- Available (health insurance, dental, vision, 401k, etc)
