Post Migration Support Engineer/Server Administrator
Dimension Data / South32 & Bhp
Perth, Western Australia
As a systems/server administrators I maintain the computer networking system of South 32 office environment by tracking server activity, performing upgrades of software, maintaining computer hardware, addressing questions about technical problems, and improving efficiency by evaluating system network functions. I also assisted the project teams with technical issues in the Initiation and Planning phases of our standard Project Management Methodology. These activities include the definition of needs, benefits, and technical strategy; research & development within the project life-cycle; technical analysis and design; and support of operations staff in executing, testing and rolling-out the solutions.As part of the post migration Support Engineer team and project team we focused on smoothing the transition of South 32 from the BHP de-merger and of projects from development to production by performing operations activities within the project life-cycle.Most work is completed during regular business hours. Occasionally, with new system upgrades or server fixes, work must be completed during odd hours of the night or on weekends. This is when traffic to the office activity will be at its lowest and thus have less of an impact on business.Other tasks include:> Troubleshooting issues regarding product problems> Researching technical issues> Managing and processing client Incidents> Walking customers through solutions> Reviewing product change requests> Learning about product updates and new technologiesTechnologies - SAP- Citrix- SCCM- Office 365- Cisco (Cisco Unified Call Manager)- Sharepoint- Windows Servers 2012/2008- Virtual Desktop Environment (VDI)
