What we are looking for:

We are seeking a seasoned IT Specialist with 5 + years of experience, to provide day-to-day technical support for employees across the organization.

The ideal candidate is customer-focused, organized, and enjoys troubleshooting a wide variety of technology challenges. 

Because our manufacturing operations run 24/7, this position requires flexibility to provide occasional after-hours support, on evenings and weekends.

  • Monitor and optimize system and network performance, escalating issues when needed
  • Maintain accurate IT documentation, knowledge base articles, procedures, and asset records
  • Provide technology training and guidance to employees as needed
  • Drive IT service excellence through incident management, request fulfillment, and problem resolution
  • Champion security by supporting data protection and compliance with company policies
  • Participate in technology projects, upgrades, system implementations, and continuous improvement initiatives
  • Collaborate and innovate with IT leadership on process improvements and technology projects
  • Live our company values in every interaction
  • Perform other duties as assigned

What we provide, because we care!

  • Generous 401k match (up to 6%)

Requirements

  • 5+ years of experience in IT support, help desk, systems administration, or a similar technical role preferred
  • Available to work nights or weekends for support or upgrades as needed
  • Experience administering Microsoft 365, including Outlook, Teams, SharePoint, and OneDrive
  • Working knowledge of user account management, device deployment, and endpoint support
