Network Administrator

Description

We are looking for a Network Administrator to support and improve a busy legal office's technology environment in Escondido, California. This long-term position will focus on strengthening shared file storage, improving network reliability, and reducing day-to-day disruptions that affect document access and staff productivity. The ideal candidate will bring a hands-on approach to troubleshooting, organization, and performance tuning across file systems, office connectivity, and end-user devices.

Responsibilities:
Manage and optimize the organization's Synology-based storage environment to improve stability, usability, and overall performance.
Redesign file and folder structures so legal documents, billing records, and archived materials are easier to locate and maintain.
Investigate and resolve issues involving slow synchronization, delayed updates, permissions conflicts, and inconsistent file access.
Provide technical support for office desktops and laptops, with an emphasis on network connectivity and reliable access to shared resources.
Monitor and troubleshoot LAN infrastructure, Cisco networking components, and firewall-related issues affecting office operations.
Administer user access and directory-based permissions to help maintain secure and appropriate availability of active and inactive case files.
Recommend and implement practical improvements that strengthen document version control and support more accurate real-time collaboration.
Work closely with internal staff to identify recurring technical pain points and deliver efficient, sustainable solutions rather than short-term fixes.

Requirements

Hands-on experience administering Synology NAS or comparable file server environments in a business setting.
Strong troubleshooting background in Cisco networking, including routers, LAN connectivity, and general network performance issues.
Working knowledge of firewall technologies and their role in maintaining secure and reliable office access.
Experience supporting Windows-based desktops and laptops in an onsite work environment.
Familiarity with Active Directory, including user account management, permissions, and access control.
Proven ability to diagnose file sync delays, lag, and shared storage performance problems with a methodical approach.
Strong organizational skills with the ability to improve file management structures and documentation practices.
Ability to communicate clearly with non-technical staff and provide practical support in a fast-paced office setting.
