IT City, Sector 82 in Mohali, has an Associate Storage Administrator opening; it's part-time rather than full-time, on-site, and pays up to 33,500 INR a month. If flexible hours matter to you as much as the work itself, this one's worth a look.
Getting qualified
A bachelor's degree is required for this role. Beyond that, the team wants two years of real, hands-on experience with the specific systems and tools this job runs on, not just adjacent IT experience loosely connected to storage work. At associate level, the expectation is that you've already handled storage tasks directly, even if you weren't the one making the bigger architectural calls.
Core skills for this role:
- Storage systems, specifically SAN and NAS environments
- Backup and recovery processes for stored data
- Capacity planning, meaning knowing how to forecast storage needs before they turn into a crisis
Someone who's set up or managed even a small NAS environment, even outside a formal job, already has a real head start applying here.
What would make an application stronger?
Experience with a specific vendor platform, such as NetApp or Dell EMC, considerably shortens ramp time, since most day-to-day work eventually centers on one or two systems. Familiarity with storage protocols such as iSCSI or Fiber Channel is a genuine plus, and any scripting ability in PowerShell or Python helps automate routine monitoring and reporting tasks that otherwise eat up much of an administrator's week. A vendor certification, like NetApp's NCDA track, isn't required but does signal serious hands-on grounding to anyone reviewing applications.
What the work actually looks like
Day-to-day, this role involves keeping storage systems running and maintained, including writing and updating scripts and automation that handle routine provisioning and monitoring tasks. Coordination happens regularly with infrastructure and application teams whenever new storage needs arise, whether that's a database team requesting more capacity or a backup schedule needing adjustment around a new workload. Issues surface during testing and validation too, and chasing those down before they become production problems is a core part of the job. A NAS share creeping toward full capacity overnight, quietly causing application writes to fail by morning, is exactly the kind of thing this role exists to catch early.
- Maintain and update storage automation scripts and provisioning workflows
- Coordinate with infrastructure and application teams on evolving storage needs
- Investigate and resolve storage issues found during testing or validation
Working out of Mohali
This is a part-time, on-site position based in IT City, Sector 82, a well-known technology corridor for the Chandigarh tricity area. Naukri Mitra lists a fair number of storage roles out of this same cluster, and this one stands out for offering part-time hours in a field where full-time listings tend to dominate.
Benefits
- Pro-rated paid leave
- Flexible in-office scheduling
- Performance-based incentives
- Relocation assistance for candidates moving to Mohali
- Accommodation support during the move
The flexible scheduling is worth calling out specifically, since it's what makes a part-time technical role like this genuinely workable alongside other commitments rather than just full-time work squeezed into fewer hours on paper.
Applying
Mention specific storage platforms or protocols you've worked with directly, even in a lab or training environment, rather than listing "IT infrastructure" broadly on your resume. If you've ever dealt with a real capacity or backup issue firsthand, describe what happened and how you handled it.
