Job Description

A large Oil and Gas company in the Greenway Plaza area
of Houston, Texas is looking for an Active Directory Advisor. This person will
be joining the Identity Access Management team and be responsible for standing
up thousands of new domains of an enterprise level on-prem environment from the
ground up. This person must have the Active Directory architectural knowledge
and be able to blue print standing up new environments while also being able to
actually do the engineering work themselves. They need to be comfortable spending about 50% of their time on on-prem AD tasks. On a daily basis, they will handle all AD related requests such as managing shared drive permissions, identifying owners of AD groups and defining and managing group policies (GPOs). They will support day-to-day AD tasks such as user object management, replications, and shared drive access. They need to be the engineer actually doing all of the tasks, escalations and building out a new environment, not just part of a team doing the work. This is a very large environment with 10-11 domains on the OT side alone. The AD Advisor will inherit existing AD environments being migrated to AzureAD and also build out the new environments from the ground up on on-prem AD for the company's new low carbon environment. They will rely on this person to supplement areas where the current team members are lacking from an on-prem AD perspective. They are currently stepping into federation of identified so knowledge around federation authentication and identity management best practices is important.This role will sit onsite 3 days a week and pay anywhere between $80-$89/hr depending on previous experience.
