SharePoint Engineer

SharePoint Engineer. Richfield - Minnesota Local candidate required

Looking for recent local project from MN.

SharePoint Engineer.

Location: Hybrid in Richfield 2-3 days/week.

Need someone with enterprise experience. Need someone to mold and grow into this role for the enterprise. We have a lot of SharePoints so we need someone with a good handle of addressing things at scale. Provide guidance for what we want to do in the future establish permissions and governance etc. We are looking for a SharePoint Ninja.

Not looking for someone to build sharepoint sites. We are looking for someone to be the sharepoint architect for all of the site collections- this is how we want to set things up from a general sharepoint lense not individually.

Should be able to address things at a broader scale. If someone is just a sharepoint admin that isnt the right fit we need someone who can work in the gui experience but can also create an API call or be able to address things on a broader scale.

Part of the responsibilities is clasisic to modern. We have moved everything to the cloud but during the migration we are just moving it to the cloud but there are a lot of classic sites. We are looking at how many classic sites what do we need to deprecate why cant we deprecate do we have any other issues This person will put together a project plan and assit and lead that project.

Nice to Have
Migration experience
Sharegate

Resumes: Wants them short. Doesnt want to see a bunch of tasks listed out. Would like concise resumes with accomplishments.

Interviews:
Would prefer someone to interview onsite but if that is impossible we are okay with a video interview.
We are finding a lot of people are using AI for resume building (not the biggest issue that is understandable) but we have found some people are using AI during the interview and reading off the screen.
