What is a Systems Administrator?

A Systems Administrator sets up networks and servers, installs and maintains operating systems, and ensures data storage, backup, and recovery work properly. They may also train staff on tech systems and new software.

A Systems Administrator is detail-oriented and focused on accuracy, ensuring systems run smoothly. They take a logical, systematic approach to problem-solving and prioritize efficiency and reliable results.
