About this role
Topel Forman Information Services is looking for an IT Consultant to serve its Chicago-based client roster, handling the full spectrum of infrastructure support from desktop troubleshooting to server and network management. You'll work both onsite at client offices and homes as well as remotely, with direct client contact and the autonomy to own projects from start to finish. The role demands someone with 5–7 years of IT experience who can design and maintain systems across VMware, Hyper-V, Cisco networking, Active Directory, Exchange, and cloud services like Office 365, while also managing mobile devices and documenting processes for clients.
Success in this position requires strong technical depth—particularly in Windows Server administration, network hardware configuration, and troubleshooting methodology—paired with business acumen and vendor management skills. You'll need an undergraduate degree in Computer Science or related field, relevant certifications (Microsoft, Cisco, VMware, or CompTIA preferred), and the ability to balance independent problem-solving with collaborative teamwork. The role includes evening and weekend availability for critical operations, and you'll need a valid driver's license since the work involves physical activity at client sites.
Topel Forman offers competitive salary, full benefits including health insurance and 401k, and support for continuing education. This is a full-time, in-office position based in Chicago, though remote support is part of the mix—you'll need reliable internet with 100+ Mbps download and 20+ Mbps upload speeds if working from home.
