CAE is looking for a hands-on, proactive IT Systems Administrator to keep our Nordic training centres running securely, reliably, and at peak performance. You’ll combine solid systems administration with on-the-ground support—owning the day-to-day technology experience across Stockholm, Copenhagen, and Oslo, with occasional support to other European locations.

This role is based in Copenhagen, but is a travel-based role with a strong on-site presence across Stockholm, Copenhagen, and Oslo, ensuring consistent, high-quality IT service delivery. You will need to be happy to travel most weeks to other locations. Our dedicated remote teams provide first-line support and network operations, so you can focus on keeping the environment stable, modern, and continuously improving.

What you’ll do:

Core systems administration (Nordic sites)

• Own and maintain the server environment across Nordic sites (Windows Server, Active Directory, Group Policy, DNS/DHCP, file/print services).

• Administer and optimise cloud services, including Azure, Microsoft 365, and SharePoint Online.

• Coordinate with our dedicated network team to keep connectivity secure, stable, and resilient.

• Monitor, patch, and harden systems—applying cybersecurity and compliance best practices.

• Drive backup, disaster recovery, and business continuity planning—then test it so it works when it matters.

• Manage user accounts, permissions, and access controls in line with company policies.

• Keep documentation, diagrams, and asset inventories current for all Nordic locations (Lucidchart, SharePoint, OneNote).

Automation & Copilot

• Spot opportunities to automate repetitive work and deliver solutions using scripting (PowerShell, Python) and automation platforms.

• Use Microsoft Copilot and other AI-powered tools to streamline IT operations, speed up support, and improve the employee experience.

• Stay current on emerging automation and AI capabilities, and help champion what’s valuable in the Nordic IT environment.

Advanced support & project leadership

• Provide 2nd-line support for Nordic sites, solving complex issues escalated from the service desk.

• Deliver hands-on, on-site support: onboarding/offboarding, device setup (PCs, iPads), and classroom technology support.

• Plan and deliver upgrades, migrations, and deployments (hardware and software) with minimal disruption.

• Lead or contribute to regional/global initiatives—especially infrastructure refreshes and security improvements.

• Create and deliver clear technical training and knowledge sharing for local staff and end users.

• Work with vendors and service providers on procurement, support, and contract management.

Strategic & cross-site ownership

• Align local IT operations with business priorities and global IT standards.

• Run regular site visits to assess infrastructure health, end-user needs, and compliance.

• Continuously improve processes to raise reliability, security, and service quality.

• Contribute to regional IT budgeting and smart resource allocation.

 Minimum Qualifications

• Several years of experience in systems administration and/or senior IT support roles (typically 5+ years).

• Hands‑on experience with Windows Server, Active Directory, Microsoft 365, and core networking concepts.

• Experience supporting cloud platforms such as Microsoft Azure.

• Experience applying modern security, patching, and compliance practices.

• Ability to troubleshoot complex technical issues using a structured approach.

• Experience managing small technical projects end‑to‑end.

• Clear written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to engage both technical and non‑technical stakeholders.

• Ability and willingness to travel frequently between Nordic sites.

• Existing legal authorization to work in Denmark (work permits cannot be provided).

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with automation and scripting (e.g., PowerShell, Python).

• Experience using AI‑enabled tools such as Microsoft Copilot in an IT operations context.

• Relevant certifications such as Microsoft (MCSA/MCSE), Azure, and/or CCNA.

• Experience supporting multi‑site or geographically distributed environments.

What CAE offers

• A competitive salary and benefits package.

• Company-funded training and certifications to support your growth.

• Real ownership: help shape IT operations across multiple countries and sites.

• The chance to work with modern technology at a global leader in aviation training.

Location & travel

• Based at the CAE Training Centre in Copenhagen, Denmark.

• Regular travel across the Nordics (and occasional international travel) is part of the role.

• Candidates must have existing rights to be work in Denmark, we will not be able to provide a work permit

If you enjoy owning systems end to end, building strong relationships on-site, and continuously improving how IT supports the business, this is a great opportunity to join a multi award-winning company and a global leader in its field.

• Competitive Salary

• Paid for training courses & certifications
