Opening: Network Administrator

JMB is seeking a Network Administrator with a combination of business, technical, and inter-
personal skills to run our Local Area Network.  The network is growing rapidly and expanding 
into a Wide Area Network, so the possibilities and challenges are outstanding.

The Network Administrator is responsible for the daily operation of the network as well as stra-
tegic planning.  The administrator also works closely with development teams, the database ad-
ministrator, and the PC installation and support groups. This is a hands-on position, ideal for an 
autonomous individual who is excited by technology and understands its application in a busi-
ness environment.  

The primary network operating system is Microsoft Windows NT Advanced Server. Candidates 
must have experience with Microsoft Lan Manager and Novell Netware 3.11, TCP/IP and cli-
ent/server application environments.

If you have the experience we seek and the desire to excel, please send us your resume.
