BOOST LLC is a dynamic management consulting firm that offers an array of government-compliant back-office solutions to support our teaming partners within the GovCon space. We are working with our client, Don Selvy Enterprises (DSE) to find their next highly skilled Journeyman IT Specialist.

About DSE

DSE, Inc. is a team of experienced professionals dedicated to engineering, training, and program management that enables front-line soldiers, sailors, and Marines to fully exploit the tactical capabilities of aviation and maritime platforms. We accomplish this by using the most qualified employees and keeping abreast of every new capability in aviation, maritime technologies, and simulation/training technology as it emerges. Our wide range of expertise is constantly expanding as we seek valued members of the DSE team and work to develop each of them to their fullest potential in the field. To this day, DSE continues to foster a work environment that supports ingenuity and the care for each member of the team.

The Role

The Journeyman IT Specialist will join DSE's team supporting IT operations and compliance initiatives under Department of Defense (DoD) contracts at NAS Patuxent River, Lexington Park, Maryland. This role calls for hands-on technical skills and a working understanding of Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) principles. You'll handle day-to-day IT support, documentation, hardware and software configuration, and security compliance activities, helping keep DSE's systems aligned with DoD cybersecurity requirements.

Why DSE

DSE doesn't just ask for your experience, it rewards it. DSE's PTO program is experience-based rather than tenure-based, meaning the relevant industry experience you bring with you can qualify you for a higher PTO allocation from day one, rather than starting over at the bottom like you would at most employers. It's a rare structure in this industry, where most companies only reward the tenure you earn after you join, not the years of expertise you bring with you.

That same philosophy carries through the rest of the benefits package:

• Starting salary range: $70,000 to $90,000 annually
• 100% company-paid medical and dental premiums for employees (50% for dependents)
• 401(k) with up to a 4% company match
• Fully paid life, short-term, and long-term disability insurance, no cost to you
• Employer-funded FSA plus HRA contributions toward your deductible
• Experience-based PTO: your prior relevant experience can qualify you for a higher PTO allocation from day one, plus the option to purchase additional PTO
• 11 paid holidays (6 national, 5 floating)
• Tuition reimbursement to support continued professional growth

Responsibilities

• Provide Tier 1 and 2 technical support for Windows-based laptops, Microsoft 365, and basic network connectivity issues
• Assist with user account management, device configuration, and troubleshooting across Microsoft Intune, Azure AD, and the M365 Admin Center
• Maintain IT asset inventories, patch logs, and change records
• Support implementation of CMMC Level 2 practices, including access control, incident response preparation, and secure configuration management
• Help update and maintain security documentation, such as System Security Plans, POA&Ms, and hardware and software inventories
• Collaborate with management and team members to ensure all systems remain compliant with DoD cybersecurity requirements

Required Education

• Associate degree (or higher) in Information Technology, Cybersecurity, or a related field, or equivalent hands-on experience

Required Experience

• At least three years of experience in IT support, helpdesk, or systems administration
• Familiar with CMMC Level 1 or NIST 800-171 requirements and general DoD cybersecurity principles
• Basic understanding of Windows 10/11 administration, Office 365, and Active Directory environments
• Knowledge of common security tools and antivirus software, such as Comodo or Defender
• Strong organizational skills and attention to detail in documentation and recordkeeping

• Familiarity with Microsoft Intune, SharePoint, or Azure is a plus
• Must work onsite 100% of the time at NAS Patuxent River, Lexington Park, Maryland
