Position Summary
We are seeking a hands-on IT Manager to serve as our internal owner of technology — running infrastructure, supporting users across all four plants, and leading IT projects. You will work alongside a co-managed IT partner that provides 24/7 security monitoring, managed security tooling, and after-hours coverage, so you are supported rather than on your own. The ideal candidate is a capable generalist who can both set direction and personally execute, and who knows when to lean on the partner.

Key Responsibilities
Infrastructure & Support
Infrastructure & Support
- Administer servers, storage, backups, and network infrastructure (firewalls, switches, wireless, VPNs, WAN) across four plants, ensuring uptime and reliability.
- Serve as the primary point of support for ~130 users — workstations, laptops, mobile devices, printers, email, and phones.
- Administer the Microsoft 365 / Azure environment, and manage user accounts, provisioning new hires and revoking access for departures.
- Support business and manufacturing applications, including ERP/job-costing and production systems (e.g., Titan or similar).
Security & Data Integrity (in partnership)
- Serve as internal owner of security, working with the co-managed partner on endpoint protection, email filtering, MFA, patching, and access controls.
- Ensure backups run and test restores regularly to protect data integrity and recoverability; help safeguard against ransomware, phishing, and ACH/payroll fraud.
- Support compliance with cyber-insurance and applicable data-handling requirements.
Projects & Strategy
- Plan and execute IT projects and installations — hardware refreshes, network upgrades, new-site build-outs, and cloud migrations — using internal and partner resources.
- Maintain an IT roadmap and capital budget, advising leadership on technology investments as the company grows.
- Own the co-managed partner relationship, coordinating work and holding the partner to service levels.
Qualifications
- 5 years of progressive IT experience, including 2 years in a lead or administrator role with independent responsibility for an environment.
- Hands-on expertise across network administration, Windows Server, and Microsoft 365 / Azure, plus strong cybersecurity fundamentals (firewalls, MFA, endpoint protection, backup/DR).
- Experience managing infrastructure across multiple sites; experience coordinating an MSP or co-managed IT provider is a strong plus.
- Valid driver's license and willingness to travel intermittently to plant locations in VA, NC, and SC.
- Associate's or Bachelor's in IT, Computer Science, or related field — or equivalent experience and certifications.
Certifications
- Required: CompTIA A , Network , and/or Security (or equivalent demonstrated experience).
- Preferred: Microsoft (MS-102 or AZ-104), network/firewall (Cisco Meraki, CCNA, Fortinet), or a cybersecurity credential (CySA ).
Preferred Experience
- IT experience in manufacturing, construction, or industrial environments; familiarity with ERP/job-costing or production systems; experience executing cloud migrations and infrastructure upgrades.
Travel, Conditions & Compensation
- Based at the Chesapeake, VA headquarters, with intermittent travel to plants in VA, NC, and SC. Must be able to lift IT equipment (~50 lbs) and work in office and plant settings.
- Salary of $100,000/year, commensurate with experience, plus a full benefits package.
