Ignite Medical Resorts is seeking a IT Infrastructure Engineer/Field Administrator to support a rapidly growing, geographically distributed healthcare organization with 32+ locations across multiple states.

• Support M&A and new-facility readiness by validating infrastructure standards and identifying risks ahead of go-live.
• Maintain & schedule Infrastructure updates, patches and fixes.
• Reduce escalations to the CTO by independently resolving gray-area and Tier 2.5 infrastructure issues.

Field Administration – Select Onsite Support (40%)

• Perform planned onsite work for critical outages, high-complexity issues or installations, new construction, expansions, and acquisitions.
• Serve as the lead onsite engineer when smart-hands resources are insufficient or situations require Ignite-specific systems knowledge.
• Install, configure, maintain, and troubleshoot network hardware, end-user devices, phone systems, CCTV, and access control systems. Hardware & wiring.
• Ensure accurate post-visit documentation, diagrams, and facility standards updates.

Project, Vendor & Operational Support

• Contribute to and lead local and enterprise-wide IT projects with minimal oversight.
• Act as a technical liaison between facilities and corporate IT, ensuring local needs are accurately represented.
• Assist with vendor management, solution evaluations, and technology improvements.
• Conduct root-cause analysis for high-severity incidents and ensure proper communication and follow-up.

Process, Documentation & Mentorship

• Define, improve, and document IT processes, procedures, and facility standards.
• Support knowledge transfer and mentoring for Help Desk staff and junior technical team members.
• Promote consistent troubleshooting and escalation practices across the organization.
