Senior IT Consultant (Network Engineer)

ETS Corp•Declo, ID

23h•$70,000 - $95,000

About The Position

The Senior IT Consultant at Eminent Technical Solutions (ETS) is a highly skilled technical professional responsible for designing, implementing, and maintaining the network and systems infrastructure that our clients depend on. This role sits at the core of ETS's technical delivery, taking complex infrastructure challenges from concept through completion and ensuring that client environments are secure, stable, and built to scale. This is a hands-on engineering role for someone who thrives on solving hard problems independently. The Senior IT Consultant is expected to own projects from scoping through deployment, make sound architectural decisions without needing constant direction, and bring a proactive mindset to security, performance, and reliability. While the primary focus is technical delivery, this role also requires strong client communication skills. You will work directly with clients to understand their environments, explain your recommendations clearly, and build the kind of trust that makes ETS a long-term partner rather than a vendor. You will also contribute to the broader team by mentoring junior technicians and producing documentation that supports the entire organization. The Senior IT Consultant is a key part of how ETS delivers on its commitment to solving complex technology challenges the right way the first time.
