So basically i work for a large organization here as a contractor (contract is through recruitmeent agency) My job title in my contract (with the agency) is Senior Systems Engineer.

In the organization the team i am in is a team of 9 people and all of our signatures it says Sys admin because that is the standarndard naming practice i guess.

This is what I do

Working in an large enterprise I was hired to do pure project based work.

Lead projects - AWS /AZURE - migratiation, Exchange Upgrade, Identity and Access Management.

Change request - On average perform 3 change request to the systems of the orgnization.

Escalation point of desktop team.

What should I put down as title?

    You work for the contracting agency and your title is Senior Systems Engineer. Why put anything else?

    I used to go with

    Fortune 100 via Contract Company Senior Net Admin

    You work for Contract Company and are on loan to Fortune 100 as a senior net admin

    To me, the "Lead Projects" sounds much more Engineer than Sys Admin.

    I think you could put either, but Senior Systems Engineer sounds better to me.

    Everyone in our team has the title says admin, its just a name we R not real admins that patches servers and looks after servers we do those things plus much more.

    We all lead projects and we are a hybrid of architects, sys eng, and sysadmins

    We have people in our team that has been there for 12 plus years , 10 years and the title in the signature is sys admin its just a naming schema.

    Job titles are honestly meaningless because titles vary from team to team and organization and this is a fine example of this.

    I put the position title as reported by the company and then if contracted out I subheader it, then I describe the duties. So for instance:

    Information Security Engineer 3
    Booz Allen Hamilton * US Central Intelligence Agency
    Blah, nothing to do with engineering.

    Most companies understand that titles are a weird thing in IT.
