We'll achieve this reputation by continuing to delight our customers and being the employer of choice for Managed Services. Engineers at CDW are responsible for the development and delivery of our Managed Services offerings. Engineers apply the necessary technical breadth to providing top level technical support services and operational leadership, including problem resolution, and technical change implementation for Managed Services clients. Engineers at CDW are smart, hardworking individuals with top level experience and enjoy working on highly visible, technically challenging projects and service offerings. They are high caliber, well rounded professionals who are passionate about emerging technology, with exceptional customer service and communication skills. As a Sr. Engineer, you will perform client consulting in specialized areas of technology such as Networking, Unified Communications, Systems, Virtualization, and Storage.

In this role, you will conduct throughput analysis, problem-solving, and infrastructure planning, participate in various client projects intended to improve/upgrade technology infrastructures continually, and create and execute test plans to meet project requirements for assigned components.

Ensuring the solution is implemented as designed to the customer's satisfaction and approval is essential. You will serve as the technical point of contact on customer engagements and internal projects, conduct and lead design workshops for complex designs to meet customer, business, and technical objectives, and proactively develop plans and activities to avoid problems. Educating the customer on solutions as appropriate throughout the life of the project or service life is also part of your responsibilities. Completing projects/tasks promptly, according to commitments made to stakeholders and management, is expected, as well as performing scopes of work as detailed in implementation plans assigned (system builds, test plans, documentation, training, etc.).
