Collaborate with IT Security to align patching with corporate security policies and vulnerability-remediation targets.

Resolve deployment issues including application conflicts and installation failures; maintain software inventory, license tracking, and reporting. Operating System Deployment (OSD) & Windows Lifecycle Manage Windows OS imaging, boot images, driver packages, and task sequences; lead in-place upgrades, bare-metal deployments, and device/server refresh cycles. Maintain a library of standardised enterprise images (client and Server) aligned with IT standards; optimise OSD workflows for reliability and minimal downtime. Automation, Reporting & Incident Leadership Drive automation for patching, provisioning, monitoring, and compliance using PowerShell (and tools such as Ansible/PowerCLI where applicable). Develop SQL queries and SSRS reports for inventory, compliance, deployment, and patch status; track KPIs (patch-compliance rate, deployment success rate, client/server health). Lead root-cause analysis for major incidents across Windows, RDS, and endpoint environments; mentor L1/L2 engineers and maintain accurate documentation (CMDB integrity, runbooks). Technical Skills & Experience Essential: Advanced Windows Server administration — Windows Server 2016/2019/2022 and 2025 — including Active Directory, GPO, DNS, and DHCP.
