What are the responsibilities and job description for the IT Systems Technician position at Manthei Wood Products?

Founded on the grit and vision of Constance & Ferdinand Manthei in Northern Michigan, our story is one of innovation, family-values and community commitment since the early 1900’s.

We believe in doing more: more with our time, talents, and teams and we invite you to bring your drive and abilities where they’ll make a meaningful difference. You’ll be part of a team that builds real value, your work will contribute to something bigger than just profit.

We are expanding internal shared services and seeking a motivated, curious, and dependable junior IT Systems Administrator to provide front-line technical support across the Manthei Group. You’ll help standardize processes, maintain systems, and support users in a mixed Windows and Google Workspace environment.

  • Escalate complex issues to the MSP or senior IT staff as needed
  • Support patching, antivirus, and backup monitoring processes
  • Assist with security awareness training and policy compliance
  • Follow through on assigned tickets, ensuring clear updates and timely resolution

Core Competencies

  • 2-3 years of IT support or system administration experience
  • Working knowledge of Google Workspace, Windows, and Mac environments
  • Understanding of networking basics (IP, DNS, DHCP, VPN)
  • Strong troubleshooting and communication skills
  • Ability to document steps, processes, and resolutions clearly

How You’ll Stand Out

  • 2 year degree or certificate in Computer Information Systems or related field
  • Professional certifications (Google, Microsoft, Cisco, CompTIA)
  • Experience with scripting or automation tools (PowerShell, Bash, or Python)

Why Join Manthei Group

You’ll be part of a growing IT team bringing structure and innovation to a dynamic, multi-company environment. Expect hands-on experience, supportive leadership, and real opportunities to shape how technology supports the business. You will thrive here if you take initiative, communicate clearly, and follow through. You adapt quickly to different business environments and see technology as a means to empower people and improve operations.
