My client is in need of a high level Citrix Engineer for a permanent opportunity in downtown Chattanooga, TN. This client currently has more work than they can handle.

Their President is a young entrepreneur that has been very successful in his time. His company has clients in New York, Boston, DC, Chicago, areas of Michigan, LA, and of course Chattanooga. To help service all of these clients, my client needs a well rounded individual with Core Infrastructure (Windows) experience as well as Storage (EMC, HP, etc), Virtualization (VMware), Messaging (exchange/email), and Remote Access (Citrix) experience.

Before any of that experience can come into play this person has to be good with people and process oriented. Someone with a great consulting background would be perfect as they will have to work hand in hand with clients onsite as well as always be selling. If they are working on a project and notice other systems that are not running correctly, then they need to be comfortable speaking up and providing guidance to the person in charge of that system and help them to a solution regardless who they use to bring them to that solution. My client wants their clients to succeed and grow and if they have to point the client in a different direction, then that’s what they will do. This person needs to be good with putting in work hours.

They will travel at least 2 weeks out of the month. Travel is Monday thru Thursday. This position pays well for the Chattanooga area and on top of the salary, my client will pay bonuses based on company performance. There is a real good possibility for someone to come in and make a lot of money.

Citrix is the main skill this person needs but they need to be open to different technologies and advancing their skills. A CCEA or CCIA is highly desired. Candidates must have a college degree. My client is located in downtown Chattanooga and has a parking garage connected to their building.

The salary ranges from 75k to 125k depending on experience but they may consider higher for the right person. Relocation to Chattanooga is a must.
