Computer Admin information

How much does a computer administrator make?

Computer administrators typically earn a median annual salary of around $70,000, though this can vary based on experience, certifications, and location. Entry-level positions may start lower, while experienced administrators with specialized skills or certifications can earn over $100,000 annually.

What does a computer administrator do?

A computer administrator manages and maintains an organization's computer systems, including servers, networks, and user accounts. They install, update, and troubleshoot hardware and software, ensure security protocols are followed, and often use tools like network monitoring software. Strong technical skills and certifications such as CompTIA Network+ or Microsoft Certified are common requirements.

Will sysadmin be replaced by AI?

Computer administrators, or sysadmins, perform tasks such as managing networks, servers, and security systems. While AI and automation tools can handle routine tasks, sysadmins are still needed for complex problem-solving, system design, and oversight, making complete replacement unlikely in the near future.

Is sysadmin a stressful job?

System administrators often work in high-pressure environments that require quick problem-solving and on-call availability, which can lead to stress. The job involves managing critical systems, handling emergencies, and maintaining security, making it potentially demanding but also rewarding for those with strong technical skills. Stress levels vary depending on the organization, workload, and experience.

CAD/PDM Systems Administrator

Sherman and Reilly Inc

Chattanooga, TN • On-site

Full-time

Posted 11 days ago


Job description

Job Type
Full-time
Description
Keep our engineers building the equipment that powers North America
Since 1927, Sherman + Reilly has designed and manufactured the pullers, tensioners, reel trailers, and stringing blocks that electric utility crews trust to string transmission and distribution lines safely across the continent. Behind every machine is a team of mechanical, electrical, and design engineers and behind that team is the CAD and PDM environment that lets them do their best work.
That environment is where you come in. We're looking for a CAD/PDM Systems Administrator to be the technical owner of our engineering design toolset: the person who keeps SolidWorks fast, the PDM vault healthy, the workstations dialed in, and engineering data flowing cleanly into the systems that build our products. This is a hands-on, individual-contributor role. You will manage platforms, applications, and data supporting a close-knit team of roughly 20 designers and engineers who depend on you to keep them productive.
What you'll own
  • Be the SME. Serve as our single, authoritative expert for SolidWorks, eDrawings, and SolidWorks PDM. The final escalation point for CAD/PDM issues and the trusted advisor to engineering and IT leadership on standards, strategy, and tooling.
  • Administer the CAD software. Deploy and maintain SolidWorks and add-ins across the engineering fleet, roll out upgrades and service packs, standardize settings and templates, and validate every change in a dedicated test environment before it
  • reaches production.
  • Run the PDM vault. Own permissions, workflows, revision and lifecycle schemes, data cards, backups, and replication. Design release processes with Document Control, onboard new users, and keep the vault healthy.
  • Optimize the workstations. Specify, configure, and tune engineering-class workstations for CAD, large-assembly, and FEA workloads. Maintain certified GPU driver, BIOS, and firmware standards and build repeatable deployment images.
  • Own performance and reliability. Establish baselines and benchmarks, monitor stability and crash telemetry, drive root-cause analysis, and plan capacity and hardware refresh cycles ahead of demand.
  • Connect the data. Support the Bill of Material (BOM) process and tooling, maintain CAD/PDM-to-ERP integrations, and close gaps in part numbering, metadata, and BOM structure, automating repetitive tasks through scripting and APIs where it helps.
  • Manage licensing and documentation. Track SolidWorks (SolidNetWork License Manager) and third-party licenses for allocation, renewals, and audit readiness, and keep clear work instructions and standards that the whole team can follow.
  • Support the broader toolset. Be the go-to resource for the other software and specialized hardware the engineering team relies on, including third-party applications and 3D printers.

Requirements
What you bring
  • Associate's or Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Engineering Technology, Computer Science, IT, or equivalent experience
  • 5+ years hands-on administering and supporting SolidWorks in a production engineering environment
  • Demonstrated SolidWorks PDM administration experience, vault setup, workflows, permissions, and troubleshooting
  • Working knowledge of engineering-class workstation hardware, GPU/driver management, and Windows optimization
  • Experience supporting the BOM process and an understanding of engineering data structures
  • Strong root-cause troubleshooting across software, hardware, and integration layers
  • Excellent documentation and communication skills, with the patience to support and train non-technical engineers

Nice to have
  • Experience integrating CAD/PDM data with ERP or PLM platforms (e.g., SAP)
  • SolidWorks certifications (CSWP/CSWE) or PDM administration certification
  • PowerShell or similar scripting for automation and configuration management
  • Familiarity with manufacturing environments - wire, cable, or heavy equipment a plus
  • Exposure to FEA/simulation workloads and workstation tuning
  • Experience with endpoint management (Intune/Autopilot), Active Directory, and enterprise security tooling

Why Sherman + Reilly
  • Your work has weight. The engineers you support design equipment that keeps line crews safe and the grid energized. You'll see the impact on the shop floor, not just on a dashboard.
  • Real ownership. This is the CAD/PDM role. You'll set the standards, make the tooling decisions, and be the expert the team turns to with the autonomy to do it right.
  • A company that lasts. Nearly a century of manufacturing in Chattanooga, and a reputation as North America's leading name in line-stringing equipment.
  • On-site and grounded. You'll work alongside the engineering team in our Chattanooga facility, with occasional time on the manufacturing floor where the products come to life. Planned system maintenance is scheduled outside core hours (Mon-Fri, 6:00 AM-5:00 PM) so our engineers stay productive.

Ready to apply?
If you're the person who genuinely enjoys making CAD and PDM systems run flawlessly and wants that work to matter we'd like to hear from you. Apply with your resume and a short note about your SolidWorks and PDM administration experience.
