Description
Pinnacle Technology Solutions is a "full-stack" Managed Service Provider, meaning that we deploy all types of solutions (wired networking, wireless, software, hardware, cybersecurity, VoIP, servers, cloud services, etc) for our customers. We have a relatively small number of customers to whom we provide "white glove" service. We are a small staff of 5, so the intern will be directly mentored by a systems administrator with many years of experience.
Training depends on the intern's existing knowledge base, but largely consists of shadowing systems administrators, watching a series of short training videos prepared by past interns, and then hands-on "real-world" work, overseen by full-time systems administrators.
Our goal is to complement "book skills" with "hands-on" experience across a wide range of technologies, so that an intern is ready to walk into a full-time systems administrator position upon graduation.
We are also in a unique position to give the intern the opportunity to learn in depth about the inner-workings of customer businesses in a variety of fields (both via remote access as well as some in person visits).
Responsibilities
Interns work on a variety of tasks, from making remote server/firewall/networking/security/wireless/VoIP changes to assisting with on site equipment deployments. Second semester interns work independently on troubleshooting issue with existing software/networking/deployment/script issues
Our goal is to avoid repetitive tasks and give the intern a wide variety of tasks that help them understand how the myriad components of a network work together.
Qualifications
Student should be pursuing (or have just graduated with) a degree in a technology field (e.g. IT Systems or Computer Science). Student must be able to work in person in our Fort Wayne office M-F 8-5 for the summer. Preference will be given to May grads, students specifically studying IT Systems and local PFW/Ivy Tech students.
