Job overview:

We are looking for an Exchange System Engineer to join our Exchange Competence Team in within Cegeka Romania, team which handles medium-complex Exchange / Office 365 infrastructures, mainly enterprise environments. The competence team currently has 2 members in Romania and collaborates with colleagues from Romania, the Netherlands and Belgium to ensure that the quality of the services provided is at the highest level.

As a member of this team, you will mostly be involved in managing the infrastructures of our customers, troubleshooting technical problems and deliver projects requested by our customers. You will make sure that the services are up and running and that the incidents assigned to your group are acknowledged and resolved in the agreed time frame. In addition to that, your activity will include performing maintenances and changes in the customers’ infrastructure. You will be proactive and deliver reports to our customers, with technical proposals that would improve their environments and optimize them.

In terms of managed environments, we are talking about Wintel envrionments – around 4000-5000 servers for over 100 customers, located abroad. The team members solve incidents for each and every one of these customers, thus interacting with multiple technologies: Active Directory, Exchange, SCCM, Virtualization solutions (Citrix, KVM, Hyper-V, VmWare), storage and backup solutions.
At team level, we use 2 ticketing tools - CA Unicenter Service Desk (CA USD) and LANDesk and an Unified Dashboard, which integrates multiple monitoring tools (SCOM, Nimsoft, Zenoss), that helps us monitor the environments of our customers.

We have a Knowledge Base (KB) implemented, where you will find documentation, articles and procedures uploaded by other team members and, among your tasks, you will be involved in updating those documents. Also, as a member of this team, you will be involved in creating technical procedures for L1 Team, procedures which help solving first line problems.

Due to the fact that we offer 24/7/365 support, you will be working in shifts. The Exchange Competence Team is currently working in day shifts with the possibility to extend to nightshifts as well in the future. Currently, the team operates on 2 shifts: 07:00 AM - 15:30 and 11:30 AM - 20:00. In addition to those shifts that require your presence in the office, the Engineers also perform stand-by shifts, which are performed remote and are designed to cover the work load during weekends and nights (for critical issues).

We are ITIL certified, which means that we respect specific standards for the procedures and operational flow we have in place, which are implemented division-level. In addition to that, in order to increase efficiency and transparency in terms of team interaction and communication, we use periodically 121 and team meetings, which help us deliver our services continually while not overburdening the team members.
