title for contrator

Drakeisa

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?

Is it fair to write like this in my cv

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.

I use the staffing company title.
