Job description

IT Director | Houston, TX | Energy & Industrial Development

Verrus is supporting a rapidly scaling US energy and natural resources business with the appointment of an IT Director.

This is an interesting opportunity for a technology leader who has operated across both enterprise IT and complex industrial or operational environments.
