Senior Managed Services Engineer

Baltimore Consulting•Hunt Valley, MD

5d•$60,000 - $80,000•Hybrid

About The Position

Baltimore Consulting is a managed services provider supporting a diverse portfolio of regional clients across multiple industries. Our Managed Services team delivers everything from responsive, day‑to‑day IT support to the design and execution of complex infrastructure projects—and we’re seeking a technically strong, client‑focused Senior Managed Services Engineer to join our growing team. A significant part of this role is client-facing: you'll regularly communicate with clients by phone and work directly with them to diagnose issues, explain solutions, and build trust over time. In this role, you’ll work hands‑on across Azure and Windows Server environments, network infrastructure, and Microsoft security services. With a broad client base, each day brings new challenges and opportunities to learn—variety is the norm, not the exception. We operate with strong team communication, defined escalation paths, and a culture of collaboration. This is an environment where initiative, curiosity, and thoughtful problem‑solving are highly valued. This position is primarily in‑office in the Baltimore Metro area, with one remote day per week. We believe in‑person collaboration enhances response times, strengthens mentorship, and builds deeper client relationships. Occasional on‑site client visits are required and are typically local.

Strong communication skills — able to explain technical concepts clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences.
Excellent prioritization skills and composure when managing competing demands.
