The System Administrator actively raises the effectiveness and output of the team through mentorship, architectural‑level thinking, automation, and operational guidance. Working in close partnership with the Supervisor of System Administration and under the architectural direction of the Enterprise Architect, this role translates architectural intent into practical, repeatable, and supportable operational designs without assuming people‑management responsibilities.

Experience with Citrix NetScaler, including DMZ tier operation, HA pairs, and Exchange load‑balancing configurations. Strong DNS knowledge, including conditional forwarders, multi‑tier DNS flows, and name‑resolution troubleshooting in complex environments. Familiarity with modern endpoint and server security tools (e.g., Guardicore) and an understanding of their potential interference patterns during incident and performance troubleshooting. Knowledge in modern endpoint and management platforms such as Intune, SCCM/MCM, NinjaOne, and enterprise endpoint security engines. Experience supporting or deploying Windows systems in cloud environments. Strong understanding of hybrid identity and cloud‑connected Windows systems. Experience with Microsoft Azure (subscriptions, RBAC, identity‑integrated services) and AWS (IAM concepts, DNS services such as Route53). Familiarity with Citrix DaaS and cloud‑based desktop or application delivery platforms. Experience supporting OT‑adjacent infrastructure, including SCADA connectivity considerations, network segmentation, and load‑balancing implications. Strong self‑starter mentality with the ability to take ownership of investigations, incidents, and complex issues without requiring constant direction. High motivation and initiative, particularly during fast‑moving outage and troubleshooting scenarios. Excellent documentation practices, including structured technical notes, runbooks, procedural updates, and clear incident timelines. Strong communication skills, with the ability to articulate findings and recommendations to both technical and non‑technical stakeholders, particularly during cross‑team investigations. Strong collaboration skills and the ability to work effectively with System Administration, Networking, Security, Application teams, and leadership, recognizing the cross‑functional nature of messaging, DNS, identity, and virtualization in the Boardwalk environment.

    PREFERRED SKILLS, KNOWLEDGE, AND EXPERIENCE:  

Experience working closely with Enterprise Architects or Technical Architects, translating architectural direction into operationally supportable designs, standards, and implementation patterns. Experience administering or integrating enterprise security platforms such as Microsoft Defender, Proofpoint, or equivalent endpoint and email security tooling.

Experience supporting VDI or application delivery platforms, including Citrix, thin‑client, or virtual desktop environments. Experience operating in regulated, audit‑sensitive, or safety‑critical environments, with strong change management discipline and documentation expectations.

  REQUIRED EDUCATION:  

Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, or a related technical discipline or equivalent progressive experience supporting large‑scale enterprise systems in a senior technical role, required.

Industry‑recognized technical certifications (Microsoft, VMware, AWS, Security) demonstrating advanced technical proficiency and a commitment to continued professional development, preferred.     ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:   Boardwalk Pipelines, LP, maintains a drug-free workplace and will require pre-employment drug & substance abuse testing before hiring.   Boardwalk Pipelines, LP, is an equal opportunity employer.

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
