Specific Job Description

The successful candidate will be the primary system administrator for maintaining and upgrading the SEACOT Canadian Navy trainer at CFB Esquimalt. They will work as part of an overall team of software and system engineers to ensure high availability of the trainer for the Canadian Navy and to implement upgrades as required. The role requires good working knowledge of Red Had Linux, OpenLDAP, autofs, NFS, PXE, Kickstart, Anaconda, Bash scripting, and VMware virtual computer maintenance. Hardware replacement of computers, rack mount servers and components will be required, including product research and purchasing.

Daily tasks include monitoring for system issues, fixing/replacing faulty hardware, maintaining adequate sparing levels, and performing system updates/upgrades when required.

Required skills, qualifications and experience

The candidate must have a minimum of 5 years experience with a solid understanding of Linux system administration including knowledge of troubleshooting Linux networks and systems.
The candidate will be supporting a complex trainer with very little onsite help available and will be expected to solve problems quickly to prevent impact to the Navy training schedule.
The candidate will have to diagnose issues that arise in the trainer, including issues that may not have been seen before, and come up with the quickest way to get the system operational for training. The majority of the other support staff are located on the East coast and therefore the ability to come up with ideas independently will be key.
The candidate will be largely responsible for day-to-day administration with some assistance from more senior staff that are not onsite.
Will deal with the customer on a regular basis as they maintain the trainer, and may occasionally need to explain to the customer the need for maintenance time or why the trainer is not functional.
The candidate will be required to assist in receiving and disposal of equipment, which can involved loading/unloading and transporting material to a dumpster.
