Position Summary

NCS is seeking an experienced IT Site Technician to own day-to-day technology support at our Grimes headquarters, with plant operations as the primary customer.

• Maintain the Grimes site IT asset inventory, including staging and imaging of new equipment
• Manage and maintain the site print fleet in coordination with the print domain owner
• Travel occasionally (estimated under 10%) to support other NCS sites as needed

Required Qualifications

• 3-5 years of IT support experience in an environment supporting 100+ users, or equivalent combination of education and experience
• Hands-on experience supporting end-user devices: Windows 11 PCs, printers, mobile devices, and conferencing/AV equipment

• Exposure to typical manufacturing noise levels in production areas
