About the Role:

• Administer Microsoft 365, Active Directory, Entra ID, user accounts, security groups, permissions, and related access controls.
• Deploy, configure, maintain, and replace laptops, desktops, peripherals, and other endpoint equipment.
• Support endpoint management, software deployment, patching, configuration compliance, and security remediation activities.
• Diagnose network issues involving switches, wireless access points, VLANs, firewalls, cabling, and internet connectivity, escalating advanced issues when appropriate.
• Support local servers, network equipment, conference-room technology, cameras, access-control systems, and other facility technology.
• Assist with cybersecurity operations, including vulnerability remediation, incident response, log review, access reviews, and implementation of security controls.
• Support compliance activities associated with CMMC, ISO 27001, and company security standards.
• Coordinate with managed service providers, vendors, and remote IT personnel to resolve incidents and complete technical projects.
• Participate in hardware refreshes, system rollouts, infrastructure upgrades, site deployments, and other IT initiatives.
• Create and maintain technical documentation, asset records, support procedures, system configurations, and network diagrams.
• Provide professional, customer-focused support while communicating clearly with both technical and non-technical employees.
• Train users on company systems, security practices, and approved technology tools.
• Manage assigned work independently, prioritize competing demands, and take ownership of issues through resolution.
• Participate in after-hours maintenance or incident response and travel to other Century Mold locations as needed.
