We don’t just fix issues — we build systems that prevent them. Gauthier Business Technologies is a process-driven, modern MSP delivering fast, reliable, business-focused IT support built on long-term client relationships. We’re hiring a Senior IT Specialist — a broad, senior technical role spanning project delivery, networking, escalation, mentorship, and technology alignment. This is not a help-desk seat; it’s for someone ready to own complex work across our client base and raise the technical standard of the team.
This role suits someone who works well independently, takes pride in quality, and would rather build systems than fight fires.
What You’ll Do
Projects
- Scope, plan, and deliver client IT projects end to end — cloud migrations, server and network refreshes, new-site builds, and security rollouts
- Produce project documentation, runbooks, and as-builts; coordinate schedules and client communication
- Partner with the Service Manager on resourcing and timelines
Networking
- Design, implement, and maintain client network infrastructure — firewalls, VLANs, VPNs, routing and switching, and Wi-Fi
- Work hands-on across enterprise networking platforms, coordinating structured cabling where needed
- Troubleshoot complex connectivity and performance issues across sites
Support Escalation
- Act as the senior escalation point for Tier 2/3 incidents, owning complex issues through full resolution
- Diagnose across Microsoft 365, cloud, Windows, networking, and mobile environments
- Maintain accurate, audit-ready documentation in our PSA and IT documentation systems
Mentoring & Process Development
- Mentor and develop junior technicians, sharing knowledge and raising the technical bar
- Develop and document SOPs, standards, and best practices, and drive continuous improvement
- Identify and apply AI and automation to improve service delivery, documentation, and efficiency
- Reduce recurring incidents through root-cause analysis and process fixes
Technology Alignment
- Conduct alignment reviews of client environments against internal standards, identifying gaps and risks
- Track lifecycle and roadmap needs, surfacing remediation and upgrade opportunities
- Contribute technical input to QBRs and client technology planning
What You Bring
Core experience

- Proven ability to independently own complex technical issues and deliver projects
- Strong client-facing experience in professional environments
Technical expertise
- Microsoft 365, cloud, and Windows administration
- Networking design and implementation: firewalls, VPNs, LAN/WAN, VLANs, routing and switching, and Wi-Fi
- Modern endpoint management and identity/access administration
- Experience with PSA and RMM platforms
- Backup and BCDR administration — verification, testing, and restores
- Mobile device support (iOS and Android)
Bonus points for
- Experience applying AI tools to IT work — automation, scripting, documentation, and troubleshooting
- Scripting and automation (PowerShell or similar)
- Endpoint security, conditional access, and data loss prevention
- Project management experience or certification; ITIL familiarity
Professional skills
- Strong troubleshooting and root-cause analysis; organized project execution; clear communication with non-technical users; calm under pressure; detail-oriented and process-driven

- Clear expectations, accountability, and systems that support your success
