Contractor Support to Microsoft 365 SharePoint & Power Platform Development/Administration


DEFTEC delivers mission-critical solutions through skillfully delivered services and innovative products. We are inspired by our clients' critical missions and driven to provide the most effective solutions to execute their missions, operational challenges, and requirements. Our dedicated, experienced, and talented employees work closely with our clients to ensure the delivery of exceptional services and products.


Position Overview:


The Contractor Support to Microsoft 365 SharePoint & Power Platform Development/Administration supports CAPDEV organizations through hands-on administration, configuration, and development of SharePoint, Power Apps, and Power Automate solutions that digitize manual, spreadsheet-based, or email-driven business processes. This role works directly with process owners and operational users to elicit requirements and design SharePoint information architectures, including sites, lists, content types, metadata, and permissions, while developing integrated solutions combining SharePoint, Power Apps, Power Automate, Dataverse, and other Microsoft 365 services to support approvals, routing, notifications, and data synchronization across CAPDEV workflows, including in secure or classified environments. The incumbent troubleshoots and resolves platform issues, applies configuration management and lifecycle practices appropriate to Microsoft solution development, conducts user testing and iterative improvement, and documents solutions for sustainment and transition; qualifying candidates bring a technical degree (or equivalent experience) and demonstrated hands-on expertise across SharePoint administration, Power Apps and Power Automate development, integrated multi-component solutions, data integration with enterprise services, and business process digitization. Finally, this individual advises the COTR on when requirements warrant local implementation versus enterprise-level scaling, and supports transition of successful locally developed applications to enduring platforms or designated sustainment organizations, providing documentation and knowledge transfer to ensure continued operation.


Job Responsibilities:

• Support CAPDEV organizations through hands-on administration, configuration, development, and sustainment of Microsoft SharePoint, Microsoft 365, and Power Platform solutions.


• Work directly with CAPDEV process owners, operational users, analysts, managers, and information stakeholders to understand existing work and information flows, identify user requirements, and determine appropriate opportunities for digitization or automation.


• Administer, configure, maintain, and improve SharePoint sites, lists, libraries, content types, columns, metadata, views, permissions, navigation, and other site capabilities needed to support CAPDEV collaboration and digital workflows.


• Design and implement SharePoint information structures that improve information organization, discoverability, controlled access, structured data capture, reuse, and management of authoritative information.


• Design, develop, test, deploy, and maintain Power Apps applications that replace or materially reduce manual forms, spreadsheet-based data collection, email coordination, or other fragmented CAPDEV business processes.


• Design, develop, test, deploy, and maintain Power Automate workflows supporting approvals, notifications, routing, task coordination, data synchronization, document handling, status management, and other repeatable CAPDEV processes.


• Develop integrated solutions combining SharePoint, Microsoft Lists, Power Apps, Power Automate, Dataverse where available, and other approved Microsoft services or connectors as required by operational need.


• Configure forms, business rules, validation, workflow states, role-based access, views, and other application logic required to translate CAPDEV business processes into usable digital workflows.


• Integrate Microsoft 365 and Power Platform solutions with approved data sources, services, or enterprise applications through available connectors, APls, data gateways, structured file exchange, or other authorized mechanisms where technically supported.


• Support digitization and information-management requirements across approved NATO Microsoft 365 and SharePoint environments, including secure, classified, restricted, or capability-limited environments, using the platform capabilities, connectors, administrative permissions, and licensing available within each environment.


• Apply appropriate SharePoint and Power Platform development, administration, and lifecycle-management practices, including development and production separation where supported, solution packaging, versioning, configuration control, ownership, permissions management, testing, documentation, and controlled deployment.


• Troubleshoot SharePoint, Power Apps, Power Automate, and related Microsoft 365 issues; identify root causes; implement corrective actions within delegated authority; and coordinate with enterprise service providers when resolution requires platform-level support.


• Conduct user testing and iteratively improve applications, workflows, and SharePoint configurations based on operational use, stakeholder feedback, technical findings, and changes to information or process requirements.


• Document SharePoint configurations, application logic, workflow logic, data structures, permissions, dependencies, integrations, operating procedures, and administrative requirements sufficiently to support transparency, sustainment, transition, and continued operation.


• Develop user guidance, administrator documentation, and transition materials and provide practical knowledge transfer to CAPDEV personnel or designated sustainment organizations as required.


• Assess the effect of digitized workflows on factors such as processing time, manual coordination effort, information completeness, data quality, workflow visibility, traceability, and usability.


• Advise the COTR when a requirement is appropriate for local Microsoft 365 or Power Platform implementation and when technical complexity, security, scale, integration, or sustainment considerations warrant transition to an enterprise development or scaling organization.


• Support transition of successful locally developed applications and workflows to enduring enterprise platforms, platform owners, development teams, or designated scaling organizations when required.


• Perform additional tasks as required by the COTR that are directly related to this labor category and do not constitute a materially different labor requirement.
