Where will you be working?
You will work for a +/- 50 person subcontractor consisting of skilled technicians and engineers in many fields (mechanical, thermal, e.g.).

This IT person has to become the go-to-person when any IT related question arises in the day to day operations. The contractor is part of a multinational organization consisting of many other specialized departments in technical fields.

The main IT department of the top organization provides support for the basic day to day tasks like printing, office workstations and some network related tasks based on their standard portfolio. The subcontractors you will work for has many day to day tasks where IT questions arise that can not be solved by the main IT department unless they work together with you to fine a none standard solution. Some examples are:

"How can we create an isolated network with an external IP address within the main network and have only one location have VPN access to it (while applying the security protocols dictated by the main organization)"

or

"How can we authenticate our internal tools with the Active Directory credentials from the main organization but exclude persons from other departments when we do not have full control of the main Active Directory"
