The City of New Bern needs an expert level Red Hat Enterprise Linux system admin on an as-needed basis to maintaining their Linux environment. Work to be performed remotely but some onsite work may be needed once social distancing law allow.

***Candidates will be required to do additional background checks and a fingerprint check since some of the work will be with the police department.
It is anticipated that the majority of services will be delivered via remote access. However, anytime the required support cannot be delivered remotely they will be required to go in person once social distancing laws allow for employees to return onsite.
