This is a contract-to-hire role placed by TEKsystems at Spelman College; the employer of record during the contract phase is TEKsystems.

The job title 'Windows System Administrator I' and the posting's explicit 'Entry Level' label both signal a junior/entry-level position.

A Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, IT, or a related field is listed as 'preferred,' not required, so no minimum degree is set.

Active Directory, Microsoft 365/Entra ID, Windows Server, VMware, Application Deployment tools, PowerShell, Azure, and macOS Administration all appear in the top-level 'Skills' and 'Top Skills Details' sections — treated as the primary required skill set. 'Application Deployment tools' is a generic category with no specific product named and was omitted per schema rules.

Backup & Disaster Recovery and higher education experience are explicitly called 'preferred' or 'a plus' in the Additional Skills section.

Microsoft certifications are listed as 'preferred' in the Additional Skills section.

The role is hybrid (not fully remote) based in Atlanta, GA.
