• Collaborate with the Director of Cyber & Information Security on incident response, monitoring, and continuous improvement of IT security posture.
• Provide technical input into IT and security projects, including infrastructure upgrades, cloud deployments, and automation initiatives.

Who you are

• Strong experience in both IT support and infrastructure administration, ideally in a multi-site or engineering/manufacturing environment.
• Proficiency with Windows 10/11, Windows Server, Azure Entra ID/Azure AD, and Google Workspace administration.
• Solid networking knowledge (TCP/IP, VLANs, VPNs, DNS, DHCP, firewall configuration).
• Hands-on experience with SonicWall or equivalent firewall platforms.
• Familiarity with AWS services (VPC, EC2, IAM) and cloud security best practices.
• Understanding of endpoint protection, MFA, and patch management.
