Please refer any possible candidates to Oli or to Rex at (714) 891-2001 ext. 217, or oli@alvaka.net or rex@alvaka.net. 

We need someone strong in all the most common and popular networking technologies, as well as some of the more mature ones.  In addition to strong technical aptitudes, backed by at least 5 years of hard-core in-the-trenches experience, we need a powerful communicator and a person who can manage well when the client is in a pickle and really needs strong guidance.  We are really looking for a winner in all of these areas. 

A good example of what we need is someone that has succeeded at an integration firm before.  The pace and demands in this environment are usually much greater than an 'in-house' position.  This person should be prompt and/or know the importance of communicating ETA's to clients.  This person should be skillful at pre-project/work-briefings with each client on each project.  That individual should then be able to execute with a high degree of success in integrating and/or solving problems in environments rich in Microsoft NT, 200x Server, Exchange, SQL, IIS, Novell Netware, GroupWise, Cisco Internetworking, VPN's, firewalls, Veritas backup, Linux, Unix and more.  The more truly capable the engineer is in all of these areas, the higher the utility value.  Our current staff can do all of this now, so we will accept no less.
