CAE is looking for a hands-on, proactive IT Systems Administrator to keep our Nordic training centres running securely, reliably, and at peak performance. You’ll combine solid systems administration with on-the-ground support—owning the day-to-day technology experience across Stockholm, Copenhagen, and Oslo, with occasional support to other European locations.
This role is based in Copenhagen, but is a travel-based role with a strong on-site presence across Stockholm, Copenhagen, and Oslo, ensuring consistent, high-quality IT service delivery. You will need to be happy to travel most weeks to other locations. Our dedicated remote teams provide first-line support and network operations, so you can focus on keeping the environment stable, modern, and continuously improving.
What you’ll do:
Core systems administration (Nordic sites)
Own and maintain the server environment across Nordic sites (Windows Server, Active Directory, Group Policy, DNS/DHCP, file/print services).
Administer and optimise cloud services, including Azure, Microsoft 365, and SharePoint Online.
Coordinate with our dedicated network team to keep connectivity secure, stable, and resilient.
Monitor, patch, and harden systems—applying cybersecurity and compliance best practices.
Drive backup, disaster recovery, and business continuity planning—then test it so it works when it matters.
Manage user accounts, permissions, and access controls in line with company policies.
Keep documentation, diagrams, and asset inventories current for all Nordic locations (Lucidchart, SharePoint, OneNote).
Automation & Copilot
Spot opportunities to automate repetitive work and deliver solutions using scripting (PowerShell, Python) and automation platforms.
Use Microsoft Copilot and other AI-powered tools to streamline IT operations, speed up support, and improve the employee experience.
Stay current on emerging automation and AI capabilities, and help champion what’s valuable in the Nordic IT environment.
Advanced support & project leadership
Provide 2nd-line support for Nordic sites, solving complex issues escalated from the service desk.
Deliver hands-on, on-site support: onboarding/offboarding, device setup (PCs, iPads), and classroom technology support.
Plan and deliver upgrades, migrations, and deployments (hardware and software) with minimal disruption.
Lead or contribute to regional/global initiatives—especially infrastructure refreshes and security improvements.
Create and deliver clear technical training and knowledge sharing for local staff and end users.
Work with vendors and service providers on procurement, support, and contract management.
Strategic & cross-site ownership
Align local IT operations with business priorities and global IT standards.
Run regular site visits to assess infrastructure health, end-user needs, and compliance.
Continuously improve processes to raise reliability, security, and service quality.
Contribute to regional IT budgeting and smart resource allocation.
Several years of experience in systems administration and/or senior IT support roles (typically 5+ years).
Hands‑on experience with Windows Server, Active Directory, Microsoft 365, and core networking concepts.
Experience supporting cloud platforms such as Microsoft Azure.
Experience applying modern security, patching, and compliance practices.
Ability to troubleshoot complex technical issues using a structured approach.
Experience managing small technical projects end‑to‑end.
Clear written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to engage both technical and non‑technical stakeholders.
Ability and willingness to travel frequently between Nordic sites.
Existing legal authorization to work in Denmark (work permits cannot be provided).
Preferred Qualifications
Experience with automation and scripting (e.g., PowerShell, Python).
Experience using AI‑enabled tools such as Microsoft Copilot in an IT operations context.
Relevant certifications such as Microsoft (MCSA/MCSE), Azure, and/or CCNA.
Experience supporting multi‑site or geographically distributed environments.
