TTM Technologies is seeking a hands-on, operationally focused Windows Server Administrator to join our IT Infrastructure team. This is a core operations role responsible for the day-to-day health, patching, management, and lifecycle of TTM's Windows Server environment — on-premises, colocation, and virtualized. The Server Administrator operates as the primary owner of server operations and works independently to keep TTM's server estate secure, compliant, and performing.
While the Server Administrator coordinates with the broader IT team, the day-to-day focus is on Windows server operations. The ideal candidate is someone who thrives in an operations environment, takes ownership of infrastructure reliability, and brings a strong foundation in NinjaOne RMM, Windows Server administration, virtualization, and PowerShell-driven automation.
Duties and Responsibilities
Key Responsibilities
- Server Patching & Compliance – Own and execute TTM's enterprise server patching program end-to-end using NinjaOne RMM as the primary platform. Define and enforce patch schedules, approval workflows, and maintenance windows across production, staging, and development server environments. Track patch compliance, generate regular patching status reports, and escalate exceptions to IT management. Ensure patch SLAs are consistently met across the global server estate.
- NinjaOne RMM Administration – Serve as TTM's primary administrator for the NinjaOne RMM platform. Configure and maintain monitoring policies, alert thresholds, patch deployment pipelines, remote access workflows, and automation scripts within NinjaOne. Build and tune custom dashboards for server health, patch compliance, and capacity visibility. Develop NinjaOne automation scripts to reduce manual operational tasks and improve response times across the server estate.
- Windows Server Administration – Administer TTM's Windows Server environment across all versions (2016, 2019, 2022, 2025) including Active Directory, DNS, DHCP, Group Policy, DFS, file services, and print services. Manage server roles, features, and configurations across production, staging, and development environments. Troubleshoot and resolve Windows Server issues independently and efficiently.
- Virtualization & VM Management – Build, configure, manage, and maintain virtual machines on VMware vSphere. Maintain VM templates, manage snapshots, and allocate compute and storage resources based on workload requirements and performance data. Right-size VMs to optimize infrastructure efficiency and perform P2V and V2V migrations as needed.
- Server Upgrades & Lifecycle Management – Plan and execute server OS upgrades, refresh cycles, and workload migrations with minimal disruption to business operations. Manage the full server lifecycle from provisioning through decommission — including data wiping, asset documentation, and inventory updates. Maintain accurate CMDB / asset records for all managed servers and virtual machines.
- Server Monitoring & Health – Monitor server health, performance, capacity, and availability using NinjaOne and integrated monitoring tools. Proactively identify and remediate performance bottlenecks, storage capacity risks, and infrastructure anomalies before they impact operations. Deliver regular server health and capacity reports to IT management.
- PowerShell Automation – Develop and maintain PowerShell scripts and automation workflows to streamline repetitive server administration tasks — including patching automation, health checks, provisioning workflows, compliance reporting, and alerting integrations. Continuously identify opportunities to reduce manual effort through scripting and NinjaOne automation.
- DevOps & Automation Practices – Apply DevOps practices to server operations where applicable — including version-controlled script repositories, automated testing of configuration changes, and repeatable deployment procedures for server builds and upgrades. Experience with infrastructure automation tooling is a plus for driving operational consistency and reducing configuration drift.
- Endpoint Security & EDR Compliance – Ensure servers are enrolled in and compliant with TTM's endpoint protection platforms — including SentinelOne EDR and Microsoft Defender for Endpoint. Respond to endpoint alerts and remediate vulnerabilities identified through EDR and patch compliance reporting.
- Incident Response & Troubleshooting – Respond to and resolve server-related incidents as the primary technical owner, including P1/P2 production outages. Lead root cause analysis and post-incident reviews for server infrastructure events. Maintain and continuously improve operational runbooks based on incident learnings to prevent recurrence.
- Documentation & Change Management – Create and maintain thorough documentation of server configurations, patch baselines, VM inventories, runbooks, and standard operating procedures. Ensure documentation is current, accurate, and accessible to the IT team. Maintain change records for all server modifications through TTM's change management process.
